(Doing the Snoopy dance near the keyboard..sorry! Now I'm back!)
I'll be entering the world of higher education as of mid-September--no doubt looking about as wide-eyed as the incoming student group. There will surely be tales to tell, but meanwhile wanted to let folks know--especially those that were providing lots of encouragement & moral support. Thank you all!
It will take some time to be able to get more specific questions answered & meanwhile the list (of questions) grows by the hour. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying this little happy calm before the challenges begin!
And now for something completely different: this is Race Week--also a sure sign of summer--regardless of the temperature! Boats & crew come from all over to be competitive in our little world.
(Click on any of the pictures for a better view...)
The wind has been light this week but the weather cooperative. It's a boon for our little town when the winds are light as it often requires the course to come very close to us (rather than way out in binocular territory--or requiring a car trip to get closer).
For the last two days the boats have been turning right off the pier. After all of these years, there's still quite a thrill seeing (many) these big guys turn the corner, hear the tense shouting of the crew drift across the water & watch the scramble of work as the spinnaker unfurls & then off they go. Always some deep breaths as the near misses occur near the anchor boat--are they really gonna make that turn?!
The dog & I have been taking it all in on the afternoon walk Keep in mind, this is just our lucky view with the leash in one hand, camera in the other!
This is the view off our back deck...
What a wonderful neverland we live in! All this & a job, too! (and trees for Jim, of course!)

Congratulations, Judy! I can't wait to hear more.
Congrats Jude. They are lucky to get you. JB
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations - and as they told me when I first went to work in the school district, time will fly (even faster than it does now). First, you're gearing up for Sept, then winding down for winter break, then cranking up for mid-terms and all of a sudden, it's the end of school. You have so much to give to the students, I think you'll love it.
