Phoenix Fun

The day school ended I headed out to Phoenix with Maureen. We went to see her sister and play. We spent time at a botanical garden with a special treat at the butterfly exhibit. On the way back to St. George we swung by the Grand Canyon, South Rim. It was beautiful.

Thought I'd add a couple more pics from the open house.

Sally called me last Thurs and asked if she could have my Panorama T-shirts. I thought, "Man, the vultures are coming out." But she wanted to make me a lap quilt out of all the shirts. It is very cute!

Here I am at the Open House they had for me yesterday afternoon. I'm ready for a fun vacation now, grass skirt and all.

I only have 7 more days of teaching left. I'm getting very excited. I went to a dinner last night honoring the retirees. They gave me a bell with my name on it. I was hoping for the gold watch but a bell is close enough. Paul went with me to the dinner at Courtyard Marriott.

Hi there ya'll. I am now a teacher that will retire the end of May! I am in the midst of selling my collection of books, games, and teaching supplies that I've collected for 27 years. I will save some, of course, but my 2 bedroom condo can't quite handle all the extra "stuff." It's an interesting feeling having hoards of teachers coming in my classroom and sifting through my things.
