A LIttle Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

I can feel it.

Before we know it, school will be starting.

I have been working in my classroom these past few days.

Cleaning toys, putting up bulletin boards, making nametags, assigning cubbies, rearranging and then putting it all back and trying again.

I actually love this time of the year.

The summer has been wonderful.

It was filled with happy times with my girls and my granddaughters, bike rides with John, Summerfest, a great vacation to Michigan and then to Indiana, a week of babysitting with Soli and Tiz, joining the Y, farmer's markets, and walks with a good friend.

But now it is time to move forward.

I can feel it.

My inner clock is telling me it is time to hang up the tank tops and get out the "teacher" clothes.

Time to turn in sitting in the sun, reading, for working in a classroom, creating.

Time to get ready for 30 little ones.

I am excited, I am ready.

But I have to squeeze in a few more summer things.

Today I rode my bike to Walmart for the first time this summer.

It was a beautiful day for ride and I enjoyed it.

I bought the ingredients for a BLT salad that I will be making tonight.

We have a large crop of tomatoes this year and I want to use every single one of them, thus the BLT salad.

Riverfest starts tomorrow.

Courtney, Paul, and the girls will be here on Thursday to ride the rides.

They have a busy weekend so that is the only time they will be here for Riverfest.

John and I will probably walk down for some of the festivities, but I am no longer as excited about it as I used to be.

So, today, I can feel it.

Bring it on!
