Recuperating

To start off my summer break (as school just ended last Friday), I had a bit of out patient surgery - a D&C with a hysterscopy. All is well and I'm spending the first part of my vacation lounging around in recuperation though I have to say that I feel fine. I even felt well enough to go for a short walk yesterday evening with James and the dog. I'm hoping the rest of the summer will be more eventful as we have a lot planned.

1. A trip to Arizona (besides the extreme heat, I'm looking forward to it!)

2. A large family reunion or two

3. Working on the house (There is some peeling paint that needs to be taken care of prior to arriving family members and some trim/cabinets in the kitchen to take care of also.)

4. Rewriting lesson plans in August

5. Volunteering at SHV, the small farmers market in town, and the Wellness Pavilion

6. Teaching Children's Church

7. Camping

8. Gardening (We actually have a nice garden this year, and our first strawberries -planted last year- were quite yummy.)

9. Canning (Our cherries are almost ready!)

10. Baking some pretzel bread (which is soooooo good)

11. Participating in Dinner for 8 and Gourmet Dinner Club

And the list goes on....
