...not-so-desperate update...May 2011"

So I have been 'blogging' for one month.... I started April 7, 2011 and you dear friends, family & strangers, have kept me accountable & inspired...

This is my 28th 'tale' ... who would have thought I'ld have this much to say.... but, my folks aways said, even as a child.... I never knew a stranger....

I thought you might enjoy a not-so-desperate update...

My audience is amazing... of course.  I have readers / 'hits' in:

United States = 1,460
Germany = 15
Columbia = 11
Denmark = 3
Norway = 2
United Kingdom = 2
Belgium = 1
Japan = 1

I do know several of the international readers ... they spent time in Jennings, Kansas as exchange students... however I welcome the new friends I am making in Columbia, Denmark, Belgium & the United Kingdom.

The pups are growing like weeds... this morning they got into a pot of tulip & daffodil bulbs and tried them out as 5 a.m. snack... scattering them all over the yard.... going to have to remove some sod from around the lilac tree we received as a gift to mark Brock's Granny's passing... I'll plant the bulbs there, to enjoy next spring... probably split some of Aunt Flo's hostas that are getting a little mamouth too....

The boys got their go-kart running again, but they don't complain about the helmets since the accident.

School is letting out in less than three weeks, then the casa will be full of action, hustle & bustle... leaving me to be desperate for a little alone time...

The hubs is well, ... the hubs... he willingly goes to work every day so I can do what I do from the homestead .... he feeds American, one dairy cow & pig at a time....
He is shopping for my birthday gift... the once promised 'shopping cart', a BMW convertible... years ago, a friend I taught with had a BMW convertible, a gift from her husband, dubbed 'the shopping cart' ...  I made him promise to one day give me one ...IF... I moved to Indiana.... pics to follow when it is in the driveway....

AND I remain ever so, not-desperate.... I have been busy blogging to you all.... I have recently founded an educational consulting company www.agape2learn.com .... our first project is a summer math club... Marvelous Math Mondays at DeMotte Christian School..... I look forward to using my teacher brain again, to "help educators bring fun & efficiency back to their schools, while achieving excellence in educating!"

The hubs & I are kenneling the pups, loading up the boys & heading to Yellow Stone & Grand Tetons National Parks at the start of summer... about 56 hours of estimated driving time.... we will listen to endless amounts of books on tape (or is it mp3 these days0 .... guzzle gallons of Starbucks.... chew bags of our favorite prairie treat (sunflower seeds) ... have karaoke singing contests (that's the boys & I, the hubs will surly wear his BOSE noise cancelling headphones, early father's day gift) .... many more 'tales' to follow I am sure....

So thank you dear readers, for taking part of your busy lives to share in reading about mine ..... and to close a favorite from the book of Numbers...

"May the Lord bless you & keep you. May he make his face to shine upon you... and give you PEACE."
