Graves' This and That

We had a great visit to family in the Hill country at Lake Medina. They have experienced little rain, the lake is used for irrigation, and the 18 months of little if any rain has the lake down about 12-15 feet. I did love the covered deck and the time to spend with family, and the fun reading. It was great! A great refresher for mind and body even though very warm. Took 2 grands, Presley and Boston, to see Up in 3D. Wow, could I ever pick up some thoughts from a simple kids' show! Off in the morning to see Jack play his first YMCA baseball or maybe t-ball. Not sure, but it will be fun and HOT! Only 66 more days until school begins. I need to make these days count!

Thank goodness for students, staff, and parents that summer vacation time has come. For some, the vacation means just that: no more teachers, no more books, etc; for some, it is a time of family enjoying one another later at night and having fun making some good memories; for some it is a time to catch up on all that was set aside until summer; for me, it is a time gearing up for the fall with the students, reading for just the fun of it, and find special times with all of the twelve grandchildren and their parents. Have a great summer of fun and making memories with your student!
