The Beginning of the End

This chapter, Adventure 57, is fast coming to a close. Only 2 weeks of school left and only 1 week left for students. We have a small graduation exercise on Thursday, a beach picnic on Friday and the kids are gone. There is one more week in the classroom for staff to finish paperwork and clean. Then its over. I can hardly believe it. I've learned a lot this year and enjoyed living here, overall.

Last week end I spent in WW with my D & SIL. Then I attended a pre-planning meeting for next year with the staff at my new workplace. They are very personable and friendly. It is a small group. They listened to my suggestions and implemented the ones I felt would work best for my classroom. Wow! What support! I was also paid for the day...Can you say, /WOW!!!/! I'm more anxious than excited for the job and move itself. I am excited about living near family and my first grandbaby-boy!

I am renting a place near their home, but far away enough that we will not 'bug' each other! I have looked for a house to buy, but finally have tabled that idea for now. I need to work on some finances first (of course, that's been my lifelong goal....I'm still learning!)

For the next few weekends I'll be more than glad not to travel. I plan to be in River City June 27-28 to pick up/move a few items to WW. Then I'll return to River City for a few days and be back home for July 4 fun here. I'll be packing with fury during July. My moving truck is set for July 31 (another Budget run) and I plan to be in Walla Walla by Aug 2.

WW is actually closer to River City than OH, so it will be even easier to come visit me. There won't be as many lovely, quaint places to visit, though. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
