One more picture


Here I am with the rest of the instructors. In the back: Matt, Greg, and Angela. In the front: Jen, Heather, Me and John.


I had so much fun with this group and they were all wonderful in giving me suggestions and encouragement. I especially want to thank Heather for all her help. She's the one who encouraged me to get my paperwork in to become an instructor, made sure I submitted everything correctly and took care of a lot of other details!! I definitely owe her one!

Good News


Lots of good news around our house lately. First, I spent last week in Howell, MI training to become a Child Passenger Safety Instructor. I passed and as soon as the paperwork is completed I will be certified to train new technicians. I had to have a wisdom tooth the morning that I left but other than that the trip went extremely well and the other instructors were very encouraging and lots of fun! The picture is of me teaching on Wednesday and we were discussing proper use of the harnesses.

On the home front, we were thrilled to finally recieve our flooring. Home Depot called Saturday morning and we picked it up that evening. We have to fix a small water leak from the wall were the outdoor hose attachment is and then after that we will lay the floor. John laid out one box and it looks awesome.

And my flowers and garden is flourishing. I have tomoatoes the size of golfballs already. I staked them yesterday. My lillies are looking just wonderful. I can't believe how much they expanded in one year. For those of you who don't know these were given to me from a very dear friend who grows them. And the best news of all is that my allium has finally bloomed after 3 years of trying!! It got really close last year and this year it actually survived and has two blooms. Here are pictures:

Another Delay

Home Depot called yesterday an there is another delay in getting our flooring. First it was backordered until the end of May and then June 5 and now Pergo says it will be going into production June 9 and shipping out June 13th. We don't know how long it will take to get here from there but hopefully by the end of the month!!
