My 30th Open House

We have Open House at our school tomorrow night - not my favorite thing to do. Oh well......

If you haven't read Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah you might want to give it a try. It's about a little girl who walks out of the woods into a small town unable to communicate and afraid of people. The setting is the rainforest area of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Mom, Carolyn, Britt and I were there years ago and it is such a beautiful area. Anyway - it was a good book.

So I haven't been getting up early to work out since school started! I promised myself that since my swimming days were over (since it rains EVERY afternoon) that I'd exercise in the morning - now I need to get motivated! Definitely tomorrow!

We had a nice time Sunday celebrating Britt's graduation and birthday. Seems we don't see my family that much anymore so having a Sunday dinner was fun. Shawny's girls are growing so much and her new friend seems really nice. Gee's pork steaks were fabulous and the macs were a hit as always. We did it right this time - two simple appetizers - three entrees and one dessert - not too much but plenty for all!

YEAH - Britt is in New Orleans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Orleans is only about 30 minutes closer to Houma than Baton Rouge but it is all interstate and seems like soooo much closer. We made three trips in one week - to move stuff from Houma to Britts - to take Britt and Jimmy out to eat - and for a bowling tournament we always go to but this time I spent my time with Britt instead of entertaining wives of other bowlers - which is also fun! Gee said he is so glad to have a daughter who now lives in "his town" - he's looking forward to showing Britt some of his favorite spots. Anyway - I am thrilled!!!

Jane had surgery Friday and is doing fine - that's all I know.

School starts tomorrow - the countdown is on - hurry up April!
