From Kansas City to Jonesboro-Memphis

We leave tomorrow with Grandma and Grandpa for Jonesboro where we'll finally get to meet the newest member of the family. It was a very short work week for us since we didn't get back from Kansas City until Monday. However, we did get quite a bit accomplished. The new Smart Board is now up and running in my classroom and Dale and I are having so much fun discovering all the different things that can be done with it!! (For those who don't know what a Smart Board is, it's an interactive board where a person becomes the mouse---anything on the computer can be projected on the board--it also has the capability of giving a 3D affect to items--along with showing movies and TV programs.) I've also finished cleaning two thirds of my classroom now that the teachers have gone. I still have next year's supply order to make up and place, help interview three prospective teachers, and clear a space for our new art teacher. Then, I think I'm done for the summer. Dale is helping me clean when he's not busy with his computer lab, setting up programs for teachers, and assisting in tech ways--another words he's as busy as I am at school!
We had a great time in Kansas City. Chris gave Grandma a perm and pedicure while Grandpa, Dale and I went to some flea markets. Chris had recommended two for us--one was VERY yucky and I won't be going back--too junky for me, but the men thought it was just fine! The other is a terrific place that has over 300 vendors. Grandpa didn't think he'd be able to go through it all, but he did and even went back for a second look later in the day!!! We all found treasures to take home and are looking forward to stopping by next time we get to KC!!
Now we move on to Jonesboro--Grandpa has a special place he wants to take us to--even more treasures to look for. We're looking forward to our visit with Susan in Memphis. Chris and Tony will be joining us for a couple of "extra" days--we have tickets to take Grandma to see the Cardinals play (Farm Team) on Monday night and are going to play "tourist" and visit some of the other sites of the city. We'll travel home on Wednesday--Grandma and Grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary day. There's something for all of us to be proud of!!!!
We're also looking forward to our visit with David, Monte and wife. It'll be nice to see all of them.
Hope everyone else has a great weekend planned! Wish we could all be together. Loves and Kisses.
