It is so hard to believe that school is already out for the summer. It seems like they just started. Or maybe it just doesn't feel like summer yet. Angel has passed thru to the fourth grade. We are very proud of her. She had an outstanding report card. At the end of the year assembly she was recognized for several accomplishments through out the year. She helped out in the library, was a ribbon winner in the all school timed math testing and recieved a nice award for being an outstanding helper. The last award was given by the school custodian, Linda. Angel gave up her recess time to help clean the school grounds and hallways. She really enjoyed the time she spent with Linda. Linda taught all her helpers to be reponsible, caring and giving. Linda was a true role model for all our students and teachers alike.
Our trip to Iowa has been cancelled. We were going to start out on July 6th with my parents. We were going to pull our trailers and see many wonderful sights along the way. However, we thought it best to stay away due to the misfortune that Mother Nature has bestowed on them. If you haven't heard, Iowa is under water and it is going to take a very long time for them to recover from this. We are still heading out on July 6th but now we are heading south instead of east. We are going to take only 2-3 weeks instead of a month and a half. We will be seeing the sites along the Oregon coast. There are many lighthouses to see, Tillamook cheese factory to tour, aquariums and beach combing to do. We are looking forward to getting away. Maybe we can go to Iowa next year.
We would like you to meet Laffy Taffy, Taffy for short. She is a 2 month old Guinea pig. Angel loves her to pieces. She sits by her cage and reads. Taffy lives in Angels room and is her responsibility. Figured she could start with a low maintenance pet. Taffy is very active for a pig.
