oh behave!

This photo is me standing in my rose garden. My knitting group is doing a calendar; inspired by the movie Calendar Girls. However, we were not bold enough to do nudie shots so we chose to have our photos be of something we enjoy outside of our common interest in knitting.

Karen, so glad that you are back with us!! You are a good daughter-in-law! You'll get brownie points towards all the ding, dings we do!!
I can not believe that summer is almost over for me! Where did all the time go?? We went to a Inservice today...was interesting but not what I wanted to be doing already!! lol...did get to see the trailer that we will be in...construction all over....put on happy faces....it will be crazy until the school and playground are completed....so Pat...retirement sounds nice....just kidding.
The weather is perfect here today...80s with a little breeze. I think I am going to go out and read my book....yard work this weekend....Lori, have a great time this weekend with your family. Karen, I am sure you look great so don't get obsessed! I was going to loose weight before the wedding...but...it hasn't happened and I can't change it right now!!! I could tell you what the bridal dress shop owner told my daughter, after she screwed up sewing the wedding dress...drink more water.....but I wouldn't be so cruel to say that!!! You are beautiful and embrace it.....

Hi Lori, Yeah I'll be starting at 7:45 on Monday the 25th. I'm going to take off at noon on Friday and meet Dave in Bangor. Then we'll ride together to camp in NH for the long weekend. I'm anxious to get back there, I've really missed it these last weeks. I've sent in my resignation letter and gave Sept. 2 as my final day of work. If however, things progress here on the sale in PI then it cold be earlier. Once this house sells we're oughta here.

Too bad you couldn't make it this time, Patti. Kathi summed up the visit well. We had a really good time being together and laughing and talking about all kinds of things, and I hope we'll be able to do it again in the not too distant future. Are you going to be working for part of the year before you move to Bangor?

I have a in-service on Friday....not sure when we'll work next week. They are still doing major renevations to Union Street School...we will be in a portable classroom this year...and other teachers need to move out of their old classrooms into the new part that is finished, so school for kids won't start until Sept. 2...maybe....we'll see. It sounds like a stressful, kind of year....
Glad that you are feeling better.

Thanks for the photo Kathi it's terrific! So glad you all had a great day visiting. Next time I'll be closer too so it'll be easier and maybe I'll even come over before the summer is ending next year.

I spent a while at school today and felt better than I have in several days. Trying not to over do it though. I've had to turn in my resignation officially so that my position can be advertised. That was tough, but it'll be alright.

I'm going down to the new house on Thursday. We get to go in while the housing inspection is being done so it's a good opportunity. I'll take more photos and some measurements. Do a little shopping while I'm in Bangor. Got to get my first day of school outfit! We start on Monday, when do you go back Kathi?

I have tried this 3 times...I hope it doesn't eventually print 3 of the same thing....
Here are Lori, Janice, Kathi and Karen visiting in
Springfield today. Its great to get together with friends!

Hi Everybody,

Here we are...Lori, Janice, Kathi and Karen. We had a great visit....we all like to chat! Had lunch up at the Country Club, soaked up some sun and memories at Stoughton Pond, visited with Deb Young (who just got back from a trip to Ireland), heard about Linda Hayes wedding

3 weeks ago, congratulations Linda Stokes! Drove around Springfield..back to my house to more chatting and chocolate chip cookies. We caught up on memories and missed the friends who couldn't join us today! Maybe next time we'll have more people join us! Safe trips home everybody.

I'll post some pictures soon....hope you are feeling better Pat...we did miss you.

I can't believe there are no posts yet from those of you who met in Spfld. today. Boo Hoo..............

One can live with regrets or move on.....we all have them.

Remember, Tuesday, for any listening....

Having regret means we have to forgive ourselves, which is probably harder than forgiving anyone else.

i wasn't prying :-) i know that you and avi made a clear choice to focus and invest in what you have and i think the world of both of you for doing that. it really was a general statement. i only realized the day after writing it that you might take it as being more pointed than i meant it. sorry. none the less, i think it is an interesting insight that many things are really bad but regret is really, really bad.
