Goal Reached!

Well, another yard sale is under my belt and I am glad to say that our totals game in just slightly lower than our goal. All of the ladies in need of assistance WILL be able to attend the women's retreat next month. A big thank you to those of you who donated items for the sale and to all of you who came to shop.

Holy Smokes!!

Well, I can't believe it, but I'm having yet another yard sale at my house tomorrow. This time it's a fundraiser for my church. Once this one is over I'm calling the charity truck and claiming my yard back!

Matilda's Birthday

Today my one and only grandchild turned 5 years old. Where does the time go? I want a do over! Anyway, I wanted to share some pictures with you that were taken at her party at Pump It Up on Saturday, but I went and left the disk with the pictures on it at their house. I've included one taken of her at school today as the class sang to her with a promise to add a couple of cute ones from the party when I get the disk.

(Tracy posted one of Matilda and I on Facebook that I could grab and share, but I am refusing since my wrinkles and my hairdo make me look positively ancient---Am I really that old? I don't feel that old.)

Okay--Here's a couple of pictures of Matilda Jean on her throne at her Pump It Up birthday party. Is it just me, or is she absolutely adoreable

Night in the Country

I attended the Night in the Country concert in Yerington with Casey and Tracey again this year. Casey just posted this of us photo to Facebook and I thought I'd share it here.
Okay, I know I look ridiculous in that crazy hat, but it was HOT and it helped me feel a bit cooler. Besides---My hair was a mess!

PROUD---PROUD---PROUD!!

As I mentioned before, my Megan got a job as a first grade teacher at a private school in Las Vegas. She has been working hard to prepare her classroom and tonight was a Meet-n-Greet night to meet the parents of her students. She sent me pictures and I MUST share them. I am so very proud! What a great job she has done! The first day of school will be August 29th.
My baby is finally a teacher with her very own students and her very own classroom. Look out world, get ready for my baby girl! World's best teacher is on her way!

Dreams Do Come True

Just got the word this morning that a private school in Las Vegas has has hired my daughter Megan who is now on her way to becoming the world's best first grade teacher. She has actually been teaching since she had stuffed animals to turn into students and they will be cheering her on from wherever it is that long lost stuffed toys go. Her childhood friends became students as well, playing school--always school and Megan was ALWAYS the teacher. They will be thrilled to know that Megan has finally acquired a classroom of her very own and will be teaching real live students. As her mom, I am bursting with pride and will be cheering her on here from Reno. There are not words to say how happy I am for her. Is there anything better that watching your child's dreams come true. (Well yes--Better would be watching it happen from a much shorter distance, but that's about me--not her).

Megan--I am so proud of you and so happy for you.
You go girl!!!
