Schools out for Summer!

Madison is doing the happy dance, but Jordan on the other hand has Summer School. What am I going to do with that boy?! His teachers tell me he's a good kid, very polite, but he's just not into turning in his work. UGH! I can harp at him until I'm blue in the face. Been there. Done that. Doesn't work. He'll just have to learn on his own by going to Summer School.

I start my new job Monday. Got the call yesterday. Woo Hoo! Dental billing & collections Monday through Thursday 30 hours a week, part time. I have 17 years of medical experience but this is the first time I've worked in a dental office. So exciting!

Six auction sets are scheduled to begin at and after 2:00 PM, PDT. They're spaced out so they don't all end at the same time. So be sure to check them all out. And that will be all I have for awhile until I'm settled at work.

Hello and happy Father's Day weekend, and what a beautiful one it is. Finally!
All we've had is rain, rain, rain so I'm thanking the sun gods today. Hopefully

8 school days left

With a few days left in the school year my kiddies are busy wrapping things up. Jordan has finals and Regents and Madison is working on her NY State map made from salt dough. I remember Eric, my oldest son making a California one when he was about her age. He's 29 now. Wow! How time flies. My favorite project I made as a kid was a California Mission out of sugar cubes. Gosh, that was fun!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Happy Friday!

Rain, Rain Go Away!

Happy Saturday!

Yes. I'm home. We did plan on going camping this weekend, but the rain spoiled that. And we heard it might snow if temps get cold enough. What the heck is going on here?! Last time I checked it is MAY, isn't it? If the weather keeps up like this I'll have no choice but to move back to California. I just can't handle these grey skies, it is so depressing. UGH!!! I love sunshine and warm weather. Give me 100 degrees, a pool and a Lime-A-Rita and I'm a happy girl! :)

We went to the movies this morning and saw Madison's pick, Epic. It was cute!

Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Happy Monday!

What a great weekend. Hope yours was, too. Jordan had a baseball game Saturday and Madison a game Sunday. Her coach said, she's doing great and is a terrific player. Ah, that was so nice. He's the best coach my kids have ever had and my kids have had a lot of coaches between the 5 sports that they play. He's very positive and supportive, yet firm on what he's teaching them to-do. That's a special quality a coach and I appreciate that. He used to be a pro soccer player, so that may having something to do with.

Nothing new today... I hiked 4 miles this am. :) Then I helped a friend move into her new apartment and now I'm off to Jordan's baseball game. He's playing 1st base. Woo Hoo... Go Warriors!!!

Have a marvelous Monday!

Happy Friday!

Hello happy Friday!
I am really enjoying the great weather we're having. It was a long Winter so I've been out and about every chance I get. My girlfriend and I have been hiking a lot 5 miles along the Black River Canal Trail yesterday. The picture is looking up river at what we've named, Owl Rock. The rock in the water looks just like an owl, doesn't it?! What a beautiful day in the Adirondack Mountains.
Have a wonderful weekend!

A new addition to the family!

Our new 8 month old kitty. We rescued him from an hospital who got him from a lady who found him in her yard. She had no idea where he came from. She figures he was abandoned. Our vet knew we wanted a cat after just loosing, Lucky, so she asked us if we wanted to take him in. We were more than happy to have him join our family, and what a cutie pie he is! The vet named him, Little Guy, but I think we're going to call him Loverboy, cause he is soooo lovey... it's also 1 of my favorite rock bands from the 80's, or LB for short.  <3 him. :)

Tonight's new auction!
