Ok, so I'm a day late in following Kim's directions to update my blog. But I have been posting entries more often lately.
Sadly, I have lost most of the contacts of other blogs. I cleaned up my computer at work, thinking I had the links at home, and then found out I didn't. :(
Thank you Kim for the lovely post card. We had a great time peep meeting too! I will have to find my pictures and add them here.
Another sadly, I think our summer is over. We had 80s for the past week or so, and yesterday it was in the 70s. The forecast for the rest of the week is low 70s dropping into the 60s, with 40s & 50s overnights. But at least no rain. Now I know I should be wishing for rain, since we haven't had any for at least 3 weeks, but rain adds insult to injury when summer leaves, IMO.
My carpel tunnel has resurfaced. I think it is due to Farm Town on Facebook. So I am cutting back on my online farming time. LOL Don keeps saying I should focus on my own garden and get those carrots out. Guess I better get to that.
That is all for now.

Music
Watching the 5 season recap show of SYTYCD last week reminded me of some of the really good performances and songs. One song in particular has stuck in my mind. Love Annie Lennox!
Why
I was listening to my new favorite music station, Pandora a lot lately. When I popped it on this morning, another great song popped up. One More Night. Phil Collins is not one of my favorite artists, but after thinking about it, he has lots of really good songs. Of course, as far you can't forget this one
Ok, back to work.

First Day of School
So today is the official First Day of School for this year. Lots of changes. First, Devon & Marisa are no longer in the same school, and won't be in the same building ever again. Our HS has 2 campuses, 1 for 9th & 10th graders and another for 11th & 12th graders. So unless she takes a higher level class when she is a 10th grader and he is a 12th grader, they will be in different buildings! They are growing so fast!
Devon is a High Schooler now! He wouldn't let me go to the bus stop with him. LOL. I didn't really ask, I just said I thought he wouldn't be cool with that, at which point he agreed. I did take his picture before he left the house.
Marisa is in 7th grade now. Almost the biggest kids at school. She got sick this morning. Actually threw up. I'm not sure why, but I think it was nerves, because by the time we got to the bus stop, she was reasonably fine.
Last night we had an open house at the High School. The principal spoke for a while, and then we got to go through his schedule to his classes. Just about 10 min per class. Enough to meet the teachers and get list of supplies. Thankfully not much in supplies. Binders, paper, pens, pencils, protractor, calculator and white erase markers. We had all but the last. I had fun going down the halls from room to room. Even though maybe only 30% of the parents were there, sometimes the busy intersections that Devon warned me about were quite congested. Can't imagine when there are 1200 kids changing classes at the same time, with 1/2 of them nearly clueless! LOL. He was already talking about finding short cuts and which halls to avoid...
One thing that I'm looking forward to is being able to monitor all his grades, and not having to wait for progress reports. We've stressed to him that now it really counts, grades wise. I know, he'll be fine.
OMG, just a measly 6 years from now and both my kids will be high school graduates!
