Yello!

Yes – a look at the calendar confirms it! June 2006 is nearly history. June is the best month of the year for me because it pretty much is my month to do things I want to do instead of doing things that I have to do. I didn’t get a lot of things done this month that I wanted to – but I did accomplish some things. Here’s a summary of the past few weeks:

• *I’ve been walking every morning – sometimes with the girls and sometimes by myself. This morning was a 3 1/2 mile walk that really got the circulation going. And, I got to listen to lots of songs on the iPod too!
• *Some household cleaning and organization has been done – but there’s always more left to do. I guess that’s what July is for!
• *I’m playing the piano this week-end for Ryan’s wedding in Fremont, so I’ve been practicing a bit. Ryan is a favorite FCCLA student from the class of 2000 who will be starting his own teaching career in Omaha this fall.
• *Earlier in the month I spent some days in Kearney at the FCSTN teacher’s meeting – it’s always fun to see the other teachers and I was glad some of my responibilities on the state board are over. This year, as past president, I got to choose and surprise three teachers as Teachers of the Year. That was pretty fun!
• *On Father’s Day we took a drive with the family up to Ash Fall and then over to the winery at Pierce. It was great to spend time with all three kids just like we used to when all the kids were home – and the wine was good too! 🙂
• *Francis and I took lots of evening rides on the motorcycle. That’s always fun for me!

All-in-all, June was pretty awesome, as usual!
