Reality Check

It was back to school and back to reality this week, although the week was quiet. We are getting ready for AIMS testing in another week................

I have missed doing my blog, but haven't quite figured out what I am going to continue to do this on. Most of the things that happen at school aren't things I can write about on the internet--at least not until I retire!! Then watch out!!!!!!!!!!!! My cousin, Phil, loves my stories! I don't think that he believes that these kinds of things can happen, but they can and they do!!

I am hoping to do a few more "roots" kinds of things as soon as I can find a letter that my uncle Matt wrote several years ago about a trip that he went on to Leadville, Colorado. My grandparents and great grandparents moved there for the mines and the railroad before moving to Arizona in 1912 and 1903 respectively. If you noticed the picture of the house on the side of the blog, that is our house in Douglas in 1932. It still looks pretty much the same. My aunt Teresa was born in the house and still lives there. It has been in our family since 1918! I grew up in that house. There are so many wonderful memories at 858!

My day to day life is rather boring, which is a good thing because school certainly isn't! I do intend to tell a little more about the leprechaun in Limerick, but I have to wait until I get some pictures downloaded onto this computer. So that chapter is yet to come............
