Sunday evening was my last night of teaching for this week. The month of May had five Mondays and Tuesdays and I only teach four weeks of any given month. I do like these little breaks, and it also gives students and families a little break. It also assists my studio manager and the students’ parents because the monthly invoices are always the same.

Yesterday afternoon, I finally got a chance to chat with my son and son-in-law in London after two weeks of not having coordinating schedules. We again discussed the possibility of me visiting London, but at this time in my life, the physical demands seem too great, as well as the physical, mental, and emotional preparations. This trip might be possible later. It would be great to see all the sites in and around London.

Just as teaching began Sunday afternoon, I learned from my sister that she and her children were in a car wreck. As she later described on her Facebook account: “After finishing a softball tournament in Greenwood, we were on our way to Community Hospital in Anderson to have Kaytlinn’s ankle looked at. 10 minutes later, a truck pulled out in front of us. The [Dena’s] truck is totaled, but my children were safe! The kids didn’t get hurt, but I have a lot of swelling, bruising and soreness! But I’m here and get to enjoy life and my children! My travel ball family stepped up and took great care of us!” I have included a photo of her truck.

Whew!

Col. Deeds is adorable but a handful. We still have some hits and misses with potty training. The puppyhood era cannot end soon enough to ease my stress.

The schedule is full today with research, writing, more research, and planning which means I will have twelve hours away from home. I appreciate Daniel being the Canine Crew Captain during my absence.

Make it a great day!
