Wow...not sure I'm going to love this new layout.  Seems like a lot of blank space.  But...here goes for another long overdue update.

School has been out almost a week now and already time seems to be flying by.  Last Friday Squirrel and I finished cleaning my bus and got it turned in.  Usually I wait til the absolute last minute to get it done.  Saturday B, Dipstick and I went to a large swap meet that only happens 3x a year and only during the spring/summer.  We left without too many purchases but I think we all enjoyed it.  Then B and I went on a date that evening - went to Sears to look at tools.  I usually enjoy any dates we go on - even looking at tools. We did the tools and then went to a bookstore to look.  As we were heading back to the car to go find supper and maybe a movie I realized we had a flat.  B didn't believe me until we got closer to the car but I was correct.  He told me later he was proud of me for spotting it.  Anyway...we drove the car over to the car repair place to have it fixed.  Instead we ended up with 2 new tires.  All I could do was laugh about it...some date night!  We had supper and then headed home as we were both pretty tired.  Sunday was a day I won't talk about - suffice it to say Dipstick got himself into some trouble.  Monday I walked in the morning with my friend L while Squirrel ran.  Once home I got to spend the day working on my Bible study lessons and starting to clean and organize my bedroom (something that gets thoroughly ignored the rest of the year!).  Tuesday I ended up being gone most of the day - Bible Study in the morning and grocery shopping after that.  I picked Squirrel up from where he was working and he made the choice to go home and help B split a tractor instead of going to get himself an ankle brace and a new pair of running shoes.  Today was another day of running with chai (tea) with S, a massage and a couple of hours of parts runs.  Walked again - think we are up to close to 3 miles. 

The pictures above are of the strangest dandelion I've ever seen.  The seed head was at least twice the size of a regular dandelion while the flower was about the same size but shaped more like a daisy.  

My goals for the summer are to get my craft supplies organized and usable - and actually start using them again.  Of course not spending as much time on the computer will help with that.  Part of that goal involves being home Tuesdays and Thursdays while Monday, Wednesday and Fridays are the days I "run".  Not sure if I will be able to keep to that but that's the hope.  Along with that is the plan to visit Mom and Dad and hopefully spend a couple days with my sister and her family.  Not sure when that is going to work out.  Trying to fit it all in around times when Stretch is preaching, I have training meetings, 4H fair...the list goes on.  Would be nice if B and I could get in a weekend away as well possibly.
