It's cherry mania around here lately! The kids and I went to our neighbors where we picked 120# of cherries. Then we spent the next 4 days freezing, canning, and drying them. 51 pints of sweet cherry jam, which my husband has claimed to be his for mixing with BBQ sauce. The kids and I like it on Ritz crackers with some cream cheese.
Happy Birthday to my sweetie! He is 38 young today! And we are celebrating with Halibut steaks, Yum! Unfortunately he had to work today so we are going to celebrate this weekend when we have more time:) Getting sleepy at a soccer game. Cowboy Rob There actually is a little girl playing dolls with him:) Happy Birthday Rob!!!

Happy fathers day to all the dads out there! Especially to Milt and Bob!
I will not yell in class. I will not stomp my feet when I am mad. I will not throw things. I will not tease the other kids. I am the teacher. I am the teacher. I am the teacher. ~not sure who it came from:)
