Rich's New Job



I have one week left at my old job and then I start my new job......this summer it's landscaping. We had a porch added to the house last fall. There is still painting and staining to do, but I'll pay to have those crappy jobs done. I do like to landscape though. About my real job...do you realize I haven't worked the week between Christmas and New Year's in 20 years?? I did work and go to school for several summers after I started teaching. It was hard to make it through the summer at starting pay. Now, we know how to budget better. My pay for the landscaping will be the satisfaction that I did it myself......oh yeah.....I have 2 classes I'm doing this summer also....


Ali finished up with track recently. She ran the 100 m hurdles and did the long jump at the district track meet. She jumped 10'9" this year. Those skating legs are powerful. I saw Mr. Fisher at the first meet of the year. He was the starter. I'm sure he volunteers as a retired teacher. Adam is having a ball in baseball.....pun intended.....he made a traveling majors team and has baseball 5 out of 7 days a week. It's an intense, but short season. Nothing like Hockey which seems to last forever and then some. Ava's big event of the year is the dance recital this Sunday at Park Center High School - that's where Deb serves time......I mean works......


From the recent blogs - she's apparently dating some guy at work named Terry Kisrow?? Or is it Mike Gunderson??


Ann is still waiting to see where she'll be teaching next year....she may end up at her same school after all. We're not planning on much traveling this summer....we'll hit some close state parks and try to save on gas money. Glad to hear Ron is coming this way.....I really wanted to get to Washington......and we will Ron....I promise!!


Well, there are so many entries I have wanted to comment on, but haven't been able to keep up.....so let me make a generic comment for all entries....we are a bunch of cotton headed ninny muggins!!

Rich...do I want to be a cotten headed ninny muggin?
Your house looks awesome lil brother!!
The guy I have been seeing is not named Mike or Terry.(that was funny) I doubt that you know him, maybe you know of him..he has a double license...social studies and phy-ed. He is teaching phy-ed now and has for a long time. His name is Ray Dahlof. Nobody at school except a few close female coworkers know anything. In due time I guess...right now I float around the school on my cloud.

I think I like being a cotton (not cotten Deb) headed ninny muggin. What exactly is that? I guess it doesn't matter, cuz if we're all cotton headed ninny muggins, it must be good. The porch looks just as good in pictures as it does in person, I am glad you posted the before and after; what a difference!! I am so mad I wasn't able to make it to any of Ali's track meets... oh yeah, I didn't know when they were. I regret that I didn't even ask!! I can just imagine her doing the hurdles and long jump, great job! I am going to try to talk her into running cross country Rich... do you think she would like it? I do!! And oh yeah, good job with the Mike Gunderson and Terry Kisrow deal, do you think she caught it?
