See you America
We leave the state on Thursday and the country next Wednesday. We will be traveling to NYC by car and then flying out on a direct flight to Amsterdam. We have our apartment all arranged.

My Poor Oz
Oz passed away last night at the vet's office. He had eaten something he shouldn't have and couldn't keep anything down. He became dehydrated. While at the vets he had a seizure and it was too much for his weak body to take and they believe he had a heart attack. I will miss him so much. He brought so much joy and laughter to our lives. He was such ( Read more... ) -
Same boat

I am feeling the pressure of the impending end of my summer vacation. I have so much left I want to do. We still have so many boxes in the garage that need to be unpacked. I have lesson plans I want to write, scrapbooking to do, cards to make, people to see. I did email my former students tonight to see how they were doing. I also had to thank ( Read more... )
