This is what the last day of school looks like - periods 29 minutes long, room pretty much "packed up" and kids doing puzzles and Connect Four.
I also taught them to play "Mormon Poker" but called it "One-Eyed Jacks" instead.

One of my 8th graders brought me flowers!!
This is how it looked as I walked out on Wednesday - this is Mrs. Thomas' old room - for Bonny's sake, this was also Mrs. LaBreque's room.
The Jacaranda are in bloom - usually a sign of spring, but we've had lots of "June gloom" for several weeks now, so some things are blooming later.
This 214 Hillcrest - Hartmann's old house - minus the giant pines that have been there for forever - but no more - when you turn right on to Hillcrest now, it really looks like something is missing!
The garden is flourishing - we will be eating produce soon!!
The deer have left my roses alone for sometime now - but I still wish I had lots more of them.
I went to the doctor - who said my residual pain is arthritis - yikes!! And tomorrow is my last p/t appt. - I'm going to start swimming and going to the Y - to get fit!!
Went to lunch at Wangs - new location on Lemon - with Norma. Fed the elders a "Barbara Meal" - and they seemed to enjoy it.
Need to plan what to pack to go to Portland.
Am helping Sue C. with a shower for J.J.'s bride-to-be.
Sent out a plethora of cards - b-day, graduation, Father's Day, general good will - I am getting caught up!
I may even finish the Anniversary Posts!! (No promises though!)
And I got an email saying they might be using my letter to the editor in the LA Times.
I'll let you know if they do!!

They didn't - but I got farther along in the process than I usually do.
I will have to look for another issue that concerns me, I guess!
