Time to be Me, to be Free

  I finished my last week at Elmwood with field day on Friday the 9th and saying goodbye to the 4th graders, Mrs. Mosher, Mrs. Holland and Mr Haas walking through the students at day's end. I worked 4 days in Holt at Washington Woods in 6th grade the following week. I am now back at Silver Sneakers at the YMCA 4 days a week. Last Saturday Jon, Sharon and Silas were here for Jim and Peggy's surprise birthday party in Mason. They also told us Silas will have a new sibling in December or January. We went to Christina Lound's daughter's open house in Holt on our way home from Mason. Phillip was also here for Father's Day which wasn't an official day until president Johnson's proclamation in 1966 and permanent until Nixon in 1972. No wonder I have no remembrances of celebrating it as a young boy.  They have been tearing up Willow now for 2 weeks replacing pipes, curbing and raising dust and making noise. Our mailboxes have been moved to the church parking lot and during the week can we only go east toward Waverly Rd. We had 3 days of 90+ temperatures last week and this week a couple of inches of rain after a dry spell. Summer is here and it stays light out until 9:30 making for full day to stay busy. The new kitchen counter is in with a back splash and the dishwasher gone a true improvement! " Kow Kow calculator turn on your love light you smooth operator let it shine".
