Ladies Night Out....Part 2

Let's try this again......good thing we are good at coming up with Plan B and parallel parking.


A little Mad Libs to get over the heart break of not being able to participate in Plan A.

Beet Soup!  Not bad and it was a delightful color.

Cute little tacos.

Taking some photos while we still had good lighting.  I love this photo because it reminds me of an angel in flight.

Salmon Treats!

I was inspired by a dinner cooked by a friend to buy some King Salmon for my family.  I guess I haven't had salmon in so long...it was like a Christmas feast.  And why should I be the only one in my family to enjoy this wonderful experience.  Luckily, the store was having a sale and I purchased half a salmon.....that was too big.....5 lbs.....still too big; let's cut some off....well, 4 lbs looks a bit much for two people.....3 lbs perfect!  The lady behind me ask how many I was buying for and when I replied "2"....the look on her face.  Yep!  I love life when that happens.  Because if I want to buy King Salmon....I'm going to go big or die trying!


Being prepared for the grill.

Next time I would cut it into smaller pieces.

Looks so good!

We didn't have a steamer so I made my own to cook the broccoli.

The next day Dad made a breakfast fit for royalty.

The Last of the Blueberries.

Once last fruit picking trip to say goodbye to the activity that leaves juice running down your chin, sticky fingers grabbing your silk dress, seeds stuck in your teeth, stems left for someone else to clean up and cores in the kitchen sink for a fly's feast.

Here's to being regular for the next couple weeks.

Equipment.....I'm Going to Need a Support Group!

Where does it end?  NEVER!!!!

I feel dirty just looking at the pictures.  Good thing I bought the extra large supply of baby wipes.

My New Office...In The Boys Locker Room

Not only is it hard to find female polo athletic shirts under $20....they had to put the PE teacher's office in the Boy's Locker Room!   Females....we need an uprising!  And thank goodness for craft stores so I can either camouflage the male's urinal or Bedazzle it!

Good thing I like to organize!

Why would anyone think it is OK to put Hoola-Hoops in the stall of the boy's urinal????  I don't care if no one has used it in years.....GROSSSSSS!!!!!!

And what is this Dark-Age contraption on the desk?  A Desk-Top PC?  Do I even remember how to turn one of these on?

I get a chalk board (not pictured), bulletin board, and dry erase...(I am so hoping it is magnetic!)

Ninja Warrior.....YES!!!

Still haven't figured what that white chart looking thing is on the wall.

Oh Yes..... 2 climbing ropes!  Because that is greatest PE event ever!!!!  Having young kids climb 30 feet in the air while everyone else sits down and the climber has his skin rubbed off as he slides down the rope.

The Chin up Bar or a Wall Contraption to frighten the Kindergarteners.

I will have to use my feminine touch to make this place bearable.

Maybe I can write on it?

It will be Physical Education for 2015-2016

Well, low and behold I ended up getting a PE position.  Blessed to have a job....blessed to have a job....blessed to have a job is my year mantra.

Came out the Sat. before school started to work at their Community Project get-together so I could meet some of my students and staff.  It was a great time to mingle and pull weeds at the same time....I had just gotten this nifty-difty weed puller at a garage sale!  And I got to speak Spanish with a parent!

The kids have planted vegetables!

Huge lot on the side of the school with lots of activities painted on the concrete.

I will be repairing the basketball nets.

Still haven't figured out what this design is meant for.

On your mark...get set....go!

They have a tool shed, compose bins, and vegetables ready for the picking.

Here's to a great school year!

Family and Fruit

My family loves fruit.  There is fruit all around me.  And so I close my eyes and try to suppress the urge to scream as I rational the practical thought that everything can be washed.

My car getting a well needed wash.....

Sabrina sitting near the fan since we don't have air conditioning.

Jack trying to hide from Sabrina.  Or trying to suffocate himself.

The new game of Superman.

A fancy golf cart parked next to me...it was turbo.

The third pan of blackberries I picked....these were for my sister.

My tennis shoes are ruined.

 I made the famous Apple Pie!!  2 1/2 sticks of butter and a stick of lard.

You have to work the dough by hand...Lots of Love.

A little spoiling time by Grandma!
