Ok! I've been avoiding writing on my blog ~ honestly, it's the last thing on my list to do! I totally feel unmotivated to write and I'm quite certain most people would not be interested in what I've filled my days with!

I have had several celebrations and some not-so-good things that have been happening. First of all, SCHOOL'S OUT!! Today was my last day and I'm doing the 'happy dance'. "Summer afternoon" have always been two of my favorite words! I'm looking forward to summer afternoons on my deck with a good book! Can't wait!

My Dad, G-dog
Another celebration is the selling my dad's home! A lovely lady will be moving into his home August 1. In the meanwhile, I will continue to unload and organize his household items to sell, donate, or give away...honestly, it has been a painful task for me! My mother loved antiques and pretty things. Many new wounds and painful scabs have been opened as I touch and revisit Mom's things. Hopefully, someone will enjoy them as she once did!
Grampa Bill
Pray for Craig's dad as he lays in ICU at McLaren. He is very sick with renal failure! It happened so quickly and we're praying for a miracle! We're so grateful for his little Baptist church ~ they've opened their arms and hearts to Bill and Sharon. Knowing Bill will spend his eternity in Heaven brings peace and comfort to Craig and me. He needs our prayers!

Taadaa!! That's my life in a nutshell! This weekend I will pack my suitcase for my long-awaited trip to Phoenix with my teacher friends! We'll enjoy seven packed fun-filled days of travel and exploring and I'll return to more sorting, selling, and hospital visits!
