Being Home

We had a very nice weekend just staying home. I love being home.

I watched  Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons while I cleaned the house. It's a good feeling to have things nice and clean, plus all the mopping and vacuuming is good exercise! (smile

What a treat to look out my kitchen window and see this beautiful tree in our front yard. Unfortunately we had some strong winds and heavy rain on Wednesday, so it lost a lot of its petals after I took this picture. When it was in full bloom, the kitchen had such a pretty pink glow from the light coming in the window.

We have had some very nice days this spring. We don't have a porch, so my husband bought this backyard swing for us. We really enjoy it in the evenings...very relaxing and peaceful. We're enjoying it now before the heat and humidity of summer get here.


This is our backyard in the springtime. Everything is so pretty and bright green this time of year. Lilly enjoys it too. :-)

Take care,
~Melanie

Busy and Bye to Andy

 
Remember the "busy, busy, busy" magician in Frosty the Snowman? Well, that's how I've felt lately. Preparing for a new school year is a lot of work! It's hard to believe our summer break is about halfway over already.
I've been busy sending out the supply lists and calendars, meeting with prospective students, returning phone calls and e-mails, and ordering all the books and supplies we'll need.
We're switching the whole school over to PACES, so I've had to rearrange filing cabinets to make everything fit in my very small office!
We also ordered ten new rolling chairs, so we'll have to get all those put together before school starts.



I was sad to see that Andy Griffith had passed away. The Andy Griffith Show is one of my favorites, and one of the very few things I even watch on TV. I never get tired of those re-runs! One of my favorite episodes is the one where Opie's friend teaches him how to throw a tantrum to get what he wants. Andy doesn't fall for it though, and even the little boy's dad catches on at the end and takes his son out to the 'good old-fashioned wood shed'.
Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have a good show like that today? It seems that most of the folks on TV nowadays need to put on some more clothes, keep the clothes on, and have their mouths washed out with soap!

I hope you all have a great week!

Take care,
~Melanie
