Another quick note. Maybe by next week I will figure out how to do the pictures quickly.
We had a lovely memorial day weekend here. Erika went to celebrate her birthday weekend with her dad. Hers was last Wednesday. Her dad's was on Friday. She went fishing. Played a lot of Uno Attack and caught and banded hummingbirds! If you get a chance you will have to ask her about it.
Roger & I went to Bye Bye Birdie athe the Mystique. One of Erika's classmates is in it and one of my student council kids is in it. It was really good. My friend Ruth gave us a couples massage at the salon/spa she works at. We had that little treat on Saturday and then went and did a little shopping and went to see Indiana Jones. More fun! We had a lovely lovely weekend!
Went to the horse races. Had dinner with my Grandma and did home chores. Great to not be on a schedule!
Today I will be working on stuff for the Charter School. Getting ready for passage ceremony to be held at Frazier Hall at ISU tomorrow. Lots of stuff to do!
Erika is camping up Mink Creek with her classmates today (if the weather holds out). If it rains like the dickens they will be coming home this evening.
I better get moving. A lot to do and the day is half gone already! Long office tour this morning. We went out to Fort Hall to look at auction properties while on tour.
Hope you all have a great day!

Just a quick note. We have been busy with passages at Erika's school. What a great thing it has been to be involved at PCCS this year! Lots of community spirit.
We celebrated Erika's 10th birthday yesterday! 10 years old! Wow! Makes me count my blessings so much to reflect on the time I have had with her. She is doing good. Still adjusting to our new living arrangements but it is all good.
She is presenting her passage today. I am certain she will do a great job. I am so proud of her.
Roger started horseshoes this week. Life should balance a little soon because soccer will be over after next weekend. Praise team and horseshoes will be our only evening requirements besides the occasional auction or 4-H meeting.
Just a little update and back to work. Have a lovely day in this crazy Pocatello weather. Rain is good but I am ready to be finished with the snow!

Just a quick note. Busy time of year with school and real estate. Student council has been having parties and school activities for the last month culminating Saturday with a dance for the 7th & 8th grade. Total reinforcement for having Erika at PCCS. What a great group of kids and a fun time. Getting ready for passages and visiting with parents to set up panels. A lot of phone time for the past 2 weeks.
Real estate is busy too. Gil is out of town so I am covering the phones for him and doing quite a bit more showing and general 'realtor' stuff. Not going too good for Roger and I. We have been looking at place for a couple of months (almost three) and thought we were in line to buy it. The sellers listed it with another agent and did not wait to talk with us after we spoke on Friday. Feeling a little betrayed but I suppose it is an answer to prayer. Roger was praying fervently for something to happen yesterday. Not necessarily the answer we were wanting but an answer for right now. So we wait and keep praying for God's plan for our perfect place. At least we are together and not looking at tail lights driving away in the night.
I better get to work. It is not getting done without me today! Darn it!
Have a super day and I will try to be more diligent about posting on a regular basis.
