Been a while since I posted anything on here, dont think anyone reads it anyway. That is ok.......do it as my own journal. This past week end the weather was GREAT........so I was on my bike. John and I took off Sat morning about 10 and headed to the coast. He had heard of this place that biker went to eat so off we went. THE SHED.......is in Moss Point Ms. A great Bar B Q place .They have seating inside and out, bands play live music, and the food is nice. After filling up on Bar B Q we headed to our hotel. Up early Sunday and the temp was already warm in the 70's. We decided to ride Hwy 90 .......still lots of waste there...homes not rebuilt.....and sadness. Took Hwy 90 all the way to New Orleans.......this brought us in on the south side of the city through the swamp land. BOY....those people down there have had HELL. Cars still turned over in the swamps.....boats blown everywhere..........and Pier after Pier with no house. We hit I 12 north to Sliddell.....hoped the Harley place would be open but no luck. Had been telling John all I wanted to do was eat seafood, but as time was passing just settled on doing that next trip. When we hit Sliddell.he took the road toward Hammond. And for those of you that dont know that is where MIDDENDORF'S seafood Restaurant is located. Now it is about 12:30 but he said we were going. He had never eaten there and said by damn he was going to go once. Got there and the place was packed.....was a 45 minute wait. But we did and he enjoyed it. Of course I loved it. Had a great broiled flounder, John enjoyed the seafood platter. We got back on our bikes at 3:00........still a ways from home. WE hit the interstate and had a great ride , pulled up at my house at 6:15. That is a record time.........So needless to say the week end was fun and the weather was wonderful.
Later

Got to see my new little great nephew this week end. I went over to Montgomery with my nieces to see our new little Jackson. Yes , I am a Great Aunt again , but I love it. Guess this is a McIntyre child that will not look like a McIntyre. This little fellow looks like his mothers side of the family. He is baby Philley. Jackson really does favor Rebeca's dad.
we had such a great time. Got to have a fun visit, ate some great food, did a little shopping and best of all played with the baby.
Linda got her bottle tree up, now all she has to do is fill it with bottle to catch all the spirits.
Tomorrow is back top school. Only good thing about going back is will be sooner to get out.
Next time...later

School is back in session.......we are trying to get all the kids back into the school mode. Most student did well this last semester, but some need to buckle down and work hard. I will take a little different approach this semester. Im going to have my student do more of their own reading, note taking, and learning new vocabulary.
Now we have 87 more days in this year ,so all the students have time to reach those grades they really want.
Basketball is also in full swing. Having so many games each week puts a lot of strain on the kids grades, now they have to step up and put in the extra study time.
Schedule, schedule, schedule is the answer for all students. Learning how to use the time they have is very important, this is a skill most of them do not have.
I am looking forward to seeing all the grades for each child improve..............you can do it! !

Day 3 of the new year. The year started off great . John and I were in Greenwood for the occasion. We went by Mary Haley and Henry for a while to see all the kids. Innes and family, Millie and family, also Mandy and boys were there. That was great to see them since we past up on Thanksgiving this year. Leaving there we went to Flatland for a bite of dinner. After getting all dressed up to see the new year in we caught the shuttle over to the Alluivan for the party. If was a really fun night. The band was great and played non stop . Food was nice , and at midnight they put out mini hamburgers and fries.
We shared a table with Harry Ray Tribble and his wife, along with a couple from Decatur Ala. It was a fun group.
Next morning we went to Mama Smiths for they new years dinner.........all the trimmings. Patti even made pecan pies.
Friday morning Betty Jane and Joe along with their riding buddies left out for Florida. They will be heading home next weekend. Hope it isnt too cold...
Decided it was time for John to have peace and quite; so I came home to get wash done and ready for school Monday.......
Only 89 more days of school for this year. In a few weeks Millie and I are heading for Montgomery to see Mini Mc.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.......
