Sorry, no pictures...

Well, I got busy and have no pictures to show for it. I was able to knock out my paper on Saturday morning and have it turned in, on time, Sunday. I just read the last 3 chapters in my psychology book. I have one paper left, due Saturday, plus a final. I hope I make it through this class. Part of the problem is the instructor is using a new text book and did not make changes to the class syllabus, slide shows, homework assignments and such...it is very confusing. Plus, she has not answered emails in a timely manner. Each day of class in the online format is equal to nine days of a regular semester class. Not answering emails for three days is not acceptable when the class moves so quickly. I did hear from other students in the class and we are all in agreement, this instructor does not get a good review from us. I already filled out my end of class survey and she did not score very high.

Anyway, after I read my chapters (I was outside), Joe brought me a daiquiri made with fresh strawberries. It was so good, and went right to my head. He is grilling pork loin for dinner, with fresh asparagus and a pasta salad I made this morning. Yum!

Andrew made it into the CIT program at Boy Scout camp. He will attend with his troop from June 29-July 4. He will be home for two weeks and then go back as a counselor-in-training from July 19-Aug 2. It should be good for him. He is really hoping to work with the younger boys at the shotgun clinic or with the horses. He and I are volunteering with Project Ride in Elk Grove. They are an organization that provides horseback rides to people with disabilities. We are both sidewalkers and I will also be a horse leader. Of course I'm doing this in my spare time????

8 more days of school for the kids, 6 for me. I'm taking Thursday off to write my paper and then I'm off on June 4th for Andrew's promotion ceremony (he's going to be a high schooler next year). His promotion is at 7:30 in the morning and we'll be done by 9 am. Then we are off to pick up Marie at the airport in SF. She'll be here for 4 days. Yeah!! I'll definitely take pictures and post them.
