When those 'surveys' come around through email--the ones where you get to 'know' your friends better by their answers to questions--there is always the question "What is your favorite day of the year?" My answer is always "the day after the last day of school". Don't get me wrong, I love teaching (well not the paper work or politics or correcting or...I'd better stop). But after spending almost ten months with the little darlings I need a break from them and they need one from me. Hasn't there been a time when you are driving to work and you imagine what it would be like to just keep driving out of town, out of the state? I think back to a tv show decades ago called Route 66. Two cute guys had a Corvette and just drove from place to place, getting temporary jobs and then moving on. It all looked like so much fun! I know...I watch too much tv....I'm a tvaholic. I'll admit it.
Well, these days instead of daydreaming of going off on an adventure I like to speed home to see Jack. He is just too cute and becoming quite a little tyrant. When I get home he likes to come to me because he knows I will follow where he leads (actually I will take him where he points cuz he can't walk or talk yet).
In the not too distant future I will have another grandchild from my daughter Jessica. Unfortunately she and her husband live in Maryland. I am hoping that they will eventually come here to live.
