Actually, I’m not sure how much “etc.” there is. We’ll see! Donna came down the weekend of the fourth of July. She got here on Friday afternoon, and we went to the folks’ for supper. Saturday we spent a lot of time there as well, swimming and eating. Then we went to Marana to see fireworks. There were supposed to be all these activities and stuff, so we went early. Well, the activities were all spread out and not really where we were exactly. But once the fireworks started, it was great! Then Sunday we went to breakfast with the folks’, went to Bookman’s to look at their used books and turn some in for trade. Then we went home and took a nap!!!!!!! Yes, I was pooped! I’ve gotten to like summer naps!!
Friday (yesterday) morning I took Del to the airport for a trip to Cape Cod. It’s a bit nippy where she is!! Some of the days she’ll be gone, the high is expected to be 62! As I was driving home tonight, the temp was 109. A little difference! While she’s gone, I’m taking care of her cat twice a day, visiting and giving her meds. Then on Sunday (the 19th?) night, I’ll pick her up from the airport. She doesn’t live that far from here — 15-20 minutes, and I don’t have to deal with the dog since he’s at “camp” while they’re gone (Del and Laura).
The state has an approved education budget finally, but it hasn’t been signed yet. The superintendent sent a memo saying that actually around 1000 employees have been affected by this, and they should be done recalling RIFs by the beginning of August. That’s like two weeks before school starts!! Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
