My Birthday
I had a great birthday on Tuesday. I received phone calls from my family. My mom called at 6:50 AM so she wouldn't miss me before work. My brother Tim called as well as Jen, Kristen, & Eric. Tommy and Sherry had us over for a birthday dinner and fun with the kids. Tom gave me flowers that we used for a centerpiece and I've been enjoying them since. Fresh flowers are such an extravagance which makes them special gift. I also got a beautiful gold and silver bracelet from Tom. Very thoughtful gifts.
Jennifer sent a box of goodies from Bath and Body Works which are my favorite. Kristen got me a subscription to the magazine Arizona Highways digitally. She said that way I don't have to have it forwarded, it just comes on my computer every month. That way whether I'm in the UP or Phoenix or anywhere in between, I will get my magazine.
You can see the fun we had with the kids. Sherry made a delicious meal of my favorite things. I picked tacos which was very fitting for Cinco de Mayo. Since I work in three Hispanic schools, I thought I would see many celebrations for Cinco de Mayo but I was disappointed to learn that nothing special was going on because "they don't have time." There is too much curriculum that has to be covered-even for Kindergartners. That is really sad. But it shows the pressure that the Grand Rapids Public School teachers are under.

Eric & Jess got me two domain names-which gives me my own place for my blogs and eventually email. You can access my blog like you always have or you can now use these addresses:
My kids are so techie and I love it. I'm looking forward to learning more about my web domains which I may be able to develop into a web site.
River Bank Run is this weekend. Joyce and I will be running for the 16th time. The weather doesn't sound good but we are used to running through the worst winter can bring so I guess a little rain and wind won't bother us.
