I take it that everyone had a great Valentine's Day.........My week end was very full and fun. Friday night John and I went to 107 for dinner. Fred and Eva joined us there. Was nice to have time with John here and with friends.
Got up Saturday morning and I headed to Chris's by 7. Went down to see him for his birthday which was Thursday......he is 29. We hit the mall for a while, Sam's for fruit, and then the casino that night. Watch a movie when we got back to the apartment, of course I went to bed .....was tired.
This morning I left for home by 9. Stopped in Vicksburg for lunch and played a few slots. I made it home with time to work in the yard a while. Cleaned out my martin houses and put them back up on the poles fro the summer. Hope my birds return. Then I pruned my crape myrtles and did some chain sawing.
Monday morning and work will be here wayyyyyyyyy too soon. Amazing how short the week ends are and how long the weeks seem to be.
Wishing everyone a good week ......Lets all pray for more nice weather...Im sick of that cold school building.

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! !
