Well, Hello August!

Oh dear -- it's August already?

Yikes!

I'm not really prepared for August, are you?

Miss M starts her SENIOR YEAR of high school on Monday!

EEEEK!

So, since I am in denial about all things related to the "S" [school]

word, here are some random photos to distract myself.

National Lighthouse Day -

here's my favorite lighthouse from the Happiest Place on Earth,

of course!  Wishing we had another trip planned!

At Hollywood studios!

I forgot to finish my vacation update,

here are a few more photos!

As you may or may not be able to tell,

it was super hot -- 98 degrees every day

plus humid so heat index was 108!
I was melting!
On this particular day - we started at dawn
and went to all 4 of the parks!

On Seven Dwarf Mine Train - LOVE that ride!

At Epcot -- do you see the Eiffel Tower in the background?

Such a fun trip - even with the extreme heat.

Can't wait for the next one!

A Friend at Disney!

One of the many fun things about our

trip to Disney was that Maddie was

able to meet up with a friend

from school who was there at the

same time!

We had so much fun seeing Danielle and her Mom

there at Magic Kingdom one day!

The girls went on one of their favorite rides - 

Splash Mountain -

hoping to get wet!

Somehow, they were in the seat that did not get

wet at all.

That never happens to me and you know how

that goes . . . 

my hair suffers the entire day!

Hello Summer!

Hello Summer!

Bye Bye endless Spring -

in true Nebraska form, it's poured rain on the first day, first weekend of summer
and entire first week of summer!
We've had enough rain already!

But, no matter - we're welcoming summer!

Splash pool teapot at Disney GF

Looking forward to more pool time!

I was super-adventurous [for me] at Disney, got in line with the 4-12 year olds
and went down a slide that went thru this amazing rock configuration!
I didn't even care [much] about my hair or wear a life jacket!
Go Me!

Looking forward to more summer favorites  --
not sure about more water slides -- but definitely

Root Beer Floats!

Quick Update

Greetings all!

How in the world did it already get to be the middle of June???

I want the summer to slow down already and

let me get some blog posts done!

Yes, I am always behind lately  :)

So, when I last left you . . . Maddie had just

finished school for the summer!

Since the upcoming seniors have to complete

36 hours of volunteer/senior hours  - she's been

focused on getting those completed during the summer!

Yay Maddie!

She's working at the uniform shop at school!

Oh my word, it's a huge undertaking and I have

no idea how the woman doing it gets it done

every year!
Try folding and fitting 5,000 polo shirts in a very small space!!

That doesn't even include the sweatshirts, shorts, pants or skirts.

In other news, we took a quick trip to our favorite place . . .

the happiest place on earth!

We were greeted there with 98 degree temps

and the heat index of 106 nearly every day!

Oh my Lord - that is hot!

BUT . . . it didn't stop us from

getting to the parks, going on rides,

meeting characters and even some swim time.

It was fabulous. 

I will try to update with some photos!

So, that's my short update.

What's happening with you?
