Well, as of tomorrow...school will be officially over for me for the summer. WHEW! I don't know who is more ready for summer, me or my scholars! 
My room is all packed up, put away, sealed up, turned off, covered up, unplugged, & report cards are finished, all important information is put away in the office. I am so excited for this year to be at an end!
(So this isn't my real school, 
...but I love old pictures...and this was cool!) I would like to teach in a one room school house. I think it would be fun, interesting, challenging, and rewarding all wrapped up in one. I mean, I teach multiple grades now...so it wouldn't be much different. 
We will be busy this summer with the two grandbabies, my niece, and we will also be hosting a young Japanese student for a month. Next year, if he is still interested, our youngest son will have the opportunity to go to Japan for a month, in the summer, to spend it with our student and his family. If he goes, then all our children will have been worldly travelers! Our oldest son went to Peru for a month several years ago on a mission trip. Our daughter went to Europe/ Great Britian for a month as a study abroad experience, and our middle son went to Belize with 4H for 2 weeks, 2 summers ago. Now it is our youngest sons turn to experience another culture/country. DH and I have only been to Canada...we both would like to visit Ireland, Great Britian/Wales before we become to old to enjoy it! I personally, would love to visit any Asian country! & Egypt!
We are trying to decide how to heat the house next winter. We have been heating with a corn stove. (WOW the heat is great!) But corn has doubled in price, and gas will cost us over $600 more for the year. We are looking into wood pellets...UGH...next step will be to look into solar and wind power!
Well, enough for now...Have a blessed day!

Hope you're enjoying the start of your summer. My husband is having me look at wood stoves, but it's too hot right now to even think about heating the house! We have an endless supply of wood, but those corn stoves are nice. I forgot about the price of corn going up.
