It's happened twice this past week. I've run into someone and they'll say, "How are you doing? I haven't been to your website lately."
Sadly, I think to myself, "Neither have I!"
Life has been going smoothly since my last checkup with Dr. Terstriep, about a month ago. Arland and I have been at the lake every weekend and several week days this summer. The week day stays give us more time to "get things done" so we can enjoy our family and friends when they are at the lake on the weekends...and we've had lots of people at the lake this summer. It's been fun! We feel summer is passing us by very quickly though and there are still a lot of people we'd like to have spend time with us at the lake.
Each year, as August rolls around, I feel a tug to go in to school to start getting things ready for the upcoming school year. This year is no different. I began to feel that tug, that pull to be doing "school things" a few weeks ago.
Since I no longer need to get a classroom ready, I justify my need by taking our grandsons, Brody and Logan, out for a day of school shopping. It's a perfect way to spend one-on-one time with each of them separately doing something that we both enjoy. Of course, there is always ice cream and other treats involved for both of them.
A grandmas gotta do what a grandmas gotta do!!!

Brody, age 8, enjoys his "Scoops" ice cream.
Logan, who is 5, decided the bubble gum ice cream was the yummiest!!
Life is good...
Maybe that's why I haven't been to my website lately.
I have lots of school things you can do if those grandkids get too busy! Miss you! So glad you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteOh, Heather, you are so sweet to think of me! I'm guessing the boys and Olivia will keep me busy for a while yet.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling better, stronger, and more like my "old self." I am very appreciative for that!!!!
I love the school supplies aisles! I stock up on office supplies while the color selections are plentiful.
ReplyDeleteI love back to school shopping for that very reason!!! I get to quell some of the "draw" of school without actually going back to school!!! :-)
DeleteThat is an enormous come Logan got! Lucky guy! ;) I am mentoring a first year first grade teacher this year. I have done so much reflecting back to my first year, and how totally lucky I was to be in the care of you, Karen, and Dianne! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a HUGE cone! He grinned from ear to ear when the girl handed it to him.
DeleteYou will be a great mentor. You've had LOTS of different experiences in your years. You are an excellent teacher. Your mentee is lucky to have you!!!
I remember several of your kiddos in your room that first year you were with the three of us at Westside. You added a lot to our team!
Take care and hug those three growing kiddos of yours! Verna
