November's 10 on 10

We had company today! My cousin and her husband were traveling back home to Vancouver, BC and they stopped for the night in Spokane. We took them down to Riverside State Park to show them our suspension bridge over the Spokane River. Years ago I had spent time with them at their home and they took me to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. http://www.capbridge.com/ Fun memories! We realized it'd been at least 25 years since we've seen each other. So tonight we made new memories. It was really starting to get dark so we didn't get a lot of pictures and we'll take them back today in the daylight! The last two pictures are of the cats and dog who kept us entertained.

This past week....

...has been a blur! I taught all day kindergarten all week long inbetween two weekends of hectic driving and visiting. Last weekend I drove down to Goldendale to see Jen and the puppies. Too cute! See for yourself.....

My cousin Gigi with me at Jen's house!

And this weekend I went over to beautiful Puget Sound Country (aka Hansville, Poulsbo, Auburn and Tacoma) to do a few errands. This is Point No Point Lighthouse in Hansville where my mom lives. I had dinner in Tacoma with my aunts, uncle and cousins.




Needless to say, I'm a little exhausted from driving hundreds of miles and not a lot of sleep. I'll have to work on the sleep part. But I had a wonderful time seeing everyone!


Back to Kindergarten this week -- I've learned all of their names and have really enjoyed teaching them! Lots of daily hugs and laughter with learning all rolled up together. I love it!
