Still Waiting...

We are still waiting for Baby H to arrive. Every day we say "Maybe it will come today." I received a phone call this morning from the teacher that I worked with last year telling me that the portable classroom we worked in last year burned last night. I start summer school tomorrow at a school near where I usually work so I will be meeting the teacher I worked with after work tomorrow to assess the damage and see if there is anything salvagable. The only things that I left in the classroom this summer were a small bookcase and a two drawer filing cabinet. I also left a tote box with crochet supplies for the crochet club I taught. Boy am I ever glad that I brought everything else home this summer even though it means taking up space to store it. The fire department thinks that the fire was either caused by the air conditioner or lightning from the storms we had yesterday. So long for now.

The AFLAC Scam

The AFLAC Scam

Watch out for this scam. Police say that the gang usually is comprised of four members, one adult and three younger ones.

While the three younger ones, all appearing sweet and innocent, divert their "mark" (or intended target) with a show of friendliness , the fourth -- the eldest -- sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pockets and purses or bags for any valuables being carried.

The picture below shows the gang in operation.

Reading Level!!

Spring Break

Last week was spring break and Grace, Jenny and Laura had off from work and school. Grace, Mom and Jenny spent some time working in the yard and Jenny had lots of fun playing after two tough weeks of Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test AKA FCAT testing. The first week she had a 60 minute session of math on Monday and Tuesday and two 60 minutes sessions of reading on Wednesday. The second week she had a 60 minute session of science on Monday and Tuesday and then a 70 minute session of either reading or math (Norm Reference) and then an 80 minute session of the other subject. She was quite worried about the tests but God helped her and after they were over each day and we asked her how they were she would say that they were easy. The first weekend of spring break we had the five oldest kids in the Jonathan Kline family down. We had a lot of fun playing games, music, and visiting. On the 10th we celebrated David's birthday along with Leah Holliday's birthday. We had Hollidays and Bickerts over as well as Warren and Nicole Fink and their girls. Last Sunday the Philip Miller family spent the day with us. Aunt Esther came down after church for lunch. We had a good time visiting with them and played a round of Scattergories after the evening service. On Tuesday, a former pastor and his wife, Ron & Rosy Hays and their son, Joe, came by for supper and a visit. It was nice seeing them again and catching up on their family. We are back to the grind for the last nine weeks of work and school. Time sure does fly the older we get.
