Congratulations to all teachers & students for successfully navigating another school year!
A good friend (who lives alone) broke her wrist yesterday; so, this morning I brought her some breakfast & helped her with some little things around the house….it's amazing all the things that are hard to do with only one hand! Her son is coming to town tomorrow to do her yardwork, thank goodness.
I took a very short walk & have spent the rest of the day going through closets. I have 3 big boxes of clothes to bring to a charity (and still have way too many clothes). Right now, DH is outside tilling up part of the yard so we can replant grass seed. None of the grass we planted & babied last year came back. Darn! It's starting to storm, so I hope he doesn't get struck by lightning!!!

Happy day with your GD Karen!
Yesterday ended 3 days of end of year ceremonies and finally graduation, well done and carried off without a protest that needed to shut down events. While it is "for" the graduate, I firmly believe the ceremony is "for" the grandmothers, aunties, mothers, fathers, etc. I practice all the names over and over again, so I can call them out with ease and the correct pronunciation. It is amazing what a small item like calling someone's name correctly is seen as a real honor and acceptance to that person and their family.
Has my PT evaluation on Friday and see the orthopedist tomorrow…they are saying 4 more weeks of PT for my back injury from catching my mom mid-fall back in March. My PT is really just working on legs and core, but as it is getting more difficult, I realize I need to up my game.
Happy new week everyone…it's mom's b'day on Wednesday! TT

Glad your graduation ceremony went off without a hitch, TT. It is definitely for the families! Happy Birthday to your mom on Wednesday!
Yesterday I went for a long walk & took a 30 minute stretching class; which I'm sure was very good for me but I didn't really enjoy. Yoga today.

Zumba this morning & HIT tonight.

TT: Happy to hear your graduation ceremony was not interrupted or cancelled. That is very special of you to make the effort to correctly pronounce everyone's name with ease. Hope your appointment with the orthopedist today was a good one.
Ruth: Sorry about your friend breaking her wrist. I need to switch out my clothes also.
Yesterday dh and I attended the touring production of To Kill a Mockingbird starring Richard Thomas. Thanks to a good friend of mine who has season tickets where this was held, I was able to buy awesome tickets through her account. We were sitting in the center of the 3rd row! It was amazing. I have loved Richard ever since seeing him on the very first Walton special before it was made into a TV show.
Walked today.

Took advantage of the hot day and washed and hung hubby’s laundry out to dry

Two friends gave me some of the perennials they were thinning from their flowerbeds, so I've been busy putting them into mine (I still haven't bought annuals to fill in & for my pots). One of my old teaching friends died unexpectedly Monday night, so I brought some cookies & paper products (paper plates, napkins, silverware, cups, Kleenex, paper towels etc) over to the house.
0 -
Ruth: I am so sorry about your friend dying unexpectedly. Paper products are always needed, especially in a sudden situation.
m0mmy: The sun and heat dries clothes quickly!
I like to watch the nightly news. The destruction from tornado after tornado for weeks is unbelievable and heartbreaking for those who have lost everything. I can't imagine losing my home in seconds. It just seems unreal but it's not. Climate change, climate change, climate change. Everyone is affected by it one way or another.
Walked this afternoon.

oh yes! I had all his laundry dried in just under three hours! Plus I folded them as the came in off the line.

The hurricane predictions for this year were released today and it's scary. Plus more tornadoes predicted for tonight. When I watch the nightly news I feel like it's 2020 but this time it's the weather that is upsetting.
Mowed for 90 minutes and also walked.

I went to HIT this morning & Dance2fit tonight. We just had a big thunderstorm go through here a couple minutes ago too.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. We had a horrible, windy, rainy day yesterday (with no exercise for me) but today was lovely. I went on a long walk & then to a graduation party before I went to my friend's funeral. He was in his church choir and a men's community singing group; so there was lots of beautiful music. We had a very close staff, so it was really great to connect with some of those old friends again.
0 -
So sorry to hear of your friends sudden death. I'm sure the service was lovely, whenever a member of our church choir dies, the service is always extra special with all the additional music.
I start teaching summer school on Tuesday, so I took this past week "off" (worked 20hrs PT all from home)…not going into school/into my office is such a break after the rush to finish and then graduation last weekend.
4 days at the gym and 2 PT sessions for me as my exercise last week
The tornadoes and hurricane forecast are scary. We have had light hurricane action the past couple of years, but we have many stories of hurricanes leaving us without power for 5-8 days…really no fun.
Stay safe this holiday weekend. Giving thanks to all who served…including my FiL who landed on D-Day +6.
Edited…Currently watching the PBS Memorial Day concert…always a touching event, the stories make me cry within myself/unable to speak…my DH is 39 years with the Navy…TT

I'm going to add a good Memorial Day quote when I am done with post. My dad & his brother both fought in WWII. My dad was fighting in the Pacific and would have been in the first wave in the invasion of Japan had not the Atomic Bomb been dropped. One of DH's uncles died fighting in Italy. His family still has the last letter he wrote his mom. So, thank you to all who have served & especially those who never came home.
I spent all yesterday afternoon buying and planting flowers. Today, I need to go back & get some more to 'fill in' empty spots. I need more hanging baskets, but they are rather picked over at the moment. Tomorrow is DS's birthday, so tonight we are taking him, DIL, and a couple of their friends out to dinner. I either need to make or buy some cupcakes to bring along.
Hope everyone is the severe weather areas are okay. Very scary weather!

Worked out yesterday and puttering around the house today.
I too have a connection to Memorial Day one of my maternal Great Uncles died in the European theater in WWII. My paternal grandmother lost a cousin in the Bataan Death March.

Happy Memorial Day.
Just a quick drop in. Walked yesterday. Had a bad storm last night and a tree fall which knocked out power for 8 hours. All better now.
No formal exercise today. Dd and sil came over for a cookout.

Yikes, wonderland, I will have to call my sister (who lives about an hour away from wonderland).
My Dance2fit instructor is a teacher. Now that it's summer, she is doing an Tuesday class at 8 am. So, I went to that & then went over & helped out my friend who broke her wrist. I will go back to Barre tonight.

Sorry about your friend, mOmmy.
Went to HIT this morning. It was a nice, cool day; so I spent the afternoon cleaning out the garage (instead of cleaning my house, which is also dirty!). I went to Dance2fit tonight.

3 days left in the school year! Then on June 10th, I'm taking a one day PD. Really need summer break.
My youngest daughter went to Taylor Swift last night in Madrid. She texted her dad and me that it was the best night of her life. She went with 3 girlfriends - they are sharing a AirBnB. Tickets were by lottery last summer and Madrid had the best seats. Tickets were a fraction of the price than in the states. With her airfare, AirBnB, food and concert tickets less than one ticket in the states.
Have a great week-end.

Ruth: It's been a nice day here also. Low dew point and humidity.
Karen: Glad school is almost out for you! Your dd got a deal with her Taylor Swift tickets. That's amazing! Ticket prices are outrageous. I know someone in her 30s who is a Swiftie. She took money out of her 401K to get a ticket on row G. No telling how much she paid for it - and that didn't include travel and a place to stay. I know another person who is going to see Taylor in New Orleans in October. She has made well over 100 bracelets to trade with other Swiftees. I don't know how much she paid for her ticket.
Dh made the decision it was time to get rid of more albums and cds he didn't want anymore. We had gotten rid of albums and cassettes before so this was huge for him to want to go back through the albums plus add the cds. We took them to a store that buys them plus used electronics, toys, books, etc. We were paid $211 plus $12 store credit. I bought 5 books with the credit and still had 64 cents left over. Felt good to get them out of the house and receive a little cash for them. We still have some albums and cds and maybe one day we will get money for those also.
Walked late this evening.

Karen, I figure you were busy with all the end of the year stuff! I am so excited for your daughter! That concert will be a lifelong memories. Two of DS's friends went to the Taylor Swift concert in Minneapolis last year & said it was fabulous! (The wife of the couple is a huge fan, and the guy is a very nice husband!)
Wonderland, good for DH to get rid of some of his treasures. My DH has a closet full of sports cards, which I'd be very happy to see gone!
Went for a walk with DH & Bruno, and did tons of errands. We went to dinner with two friends & now I am too full to do anything else.
