I registered for two classes that start in August. I am taking Philosophy and Spanish 1. It should be a fairly easy semester, and I am slowly getting classes done.
My boy is all registered for his new school. In August we will have an orientation for parents and children, which is a switch from the other school. It will be nice for my boy to meet his teacher again and bring all his supplies into school before the first day of school. We also need to get new uniforms, this school is a little more picky about the uniforms and have very specific uniforms available at one store. We will go in August for that.
I am somewhat hesitant enrolling him in another Christian school. I've discussed the Christian school issue with two people I know that have actually been school teachers at private Christian schools. Both indicated that they were somewhat surprised how every one is treated. I am not surprised anymore because I saw it, and lived it first hand this past school year. I have to admit the behavior was somewhat shocking to me this year. We'll see how it goes. It saddens me to think that "christians" treat each other this way. I understand why people back away from a church.
Not a terribly busy summer for us. We will be going to a couple of concerts in the fall, and we are going "up north" for a few days. We are all excited about that.

Forty years ago......................
Wow, just writing that out makes me feel old!!
Forty years ago, I spent the summer in New Jersey with my relatives. My sweet grandma, my great grandma and my aunt and a family friend drove out there and they all left me there and I flew home later in the summer. It was a definite summer to remember.
I stayed with my Aunt that I have written about occasionally and my Uncle and cousins. It was a fabulous summer. For July 4th, we went to the shore for fireworks and it was beautiful to see the fireworks over the ocean while sitting on the beach.
We did a lot that summer. My one cousin and I went to the Boys and Girls club often and met people there. There was a trampoline there. I met a boy and I have stayed in touch with him all these years. Just recently, he sadly lost his son to a drug overdose. His only son. He is heartbroken and I am heartbroken for him. No parent should ever live to see the loss of a child.
My other cousin, who is like a sister to me, is the cousin I go visit each year. This year I went in the middle of May again. We had a good visit.
I will always have fond memories of that summer and all the people I met. It was a special summer for me.
