It's Friday

Rachel survived her very first paid day of teaching! When she got to school she was told, "I called you to sub in 4th, but now I want you in 1st." But that way, she got to meet some of the kids who will be in her 2nd grade class next year. She did so well the principal asked her to come back on Monday. Thank the Lord for giving her a good experience.

I helped Andrew out today with a last minute ticket order--it is rather amazing that tickets for tomorrow night's playoff game can be received and resent here in Dallas in the afternoon for a game in LA tomorrow night. It is a flat world.

Gary has lots to do this weekend, including trying to get our lawnmower to start working. If he doesn't, I'm hiring the two little boys who mowed and edged last time for $30. We are planning to attend a birthday party at the Spaghetti Warehouse tomorrow night too. Gary thinks he's too busy to go, but I'm insisting he not work ALL the time. He's busy getting ready for two presentations at a conference in Denver next week where people pay $1000 a day to attend. (If they pay that much to attend, why is he doing this for free?? I ask.)

The hot, hot weather has left us and now we're having some nice spring temperatures. And we've had rain the last two nights, so that will help the wildflowers.
