I'm back after a very long break.  I switched to Facebook for awhile, but for various reasons decided I like my blog better.  I think when my kids are older they will appreciate this much more becuase it is a record of our lives that I can save.  Who knows if facebook will be around then...doubtful looking at their stock. Since I am now teaching 4th grade full time I need to be careful about using social media, especially in a small town.   I do love to read your comments so I know you have been here!    I am beginning with our summer vacation to Colorado as this picuture nicely shows (I took this from the car window - wow).  We returned home around 2:00 a.m. this morning.
