Spring Break is over

Spring Break is over and it is finally feeling like Spring (now that we are back to work and school).

Mark is looking forward to the semester to be over. He will be driving home the end of the month. He has about two weeks of heavy school left to finish before summer is here for him. Mark is planning on taking some classes at the local community college and helping out at the church again. His plan is to be totally finished with his BA come December 2010.

Brian just spent a few days with us. He has signed up for one of his summer classes. He will also take a week of training for security this summer as well. He can sign up for his fall classes come April 15th. This past weekend he came over to see the oral surgeon about getting his wisdom teeth out (which is happening next weekend) and he caught a few fish.


David is counting down the days until graduation. He is at 40 days and counting. He still has prom, grad night, and his last concert to complete...besides tests, papers, and exams. David has been excited that spring is here because he gets to mow the lawn each week. He is getting really excited about attending UNF this summer. He moves in the dorm on June 22. He will be getting his wisdom teeth out on June 10th. Here are some pictures from his senior trip:


I too am in the school is almost out mode (so are my students). My students are getting ready for their AP exam and their senior projects. There is a lot of stuff going on and yet the clock seems to be going faster than before spring break. When school gets out on May 21st, we will be going to orientation with David the following weekend and then I have the opportunity to grade AP Government Free Response Questions. It is a great opportunity and I am really excited about it.

Here is a picture of the antique that Niel and I found in our church thrift shop.


Niel has been busy with work and with projects around the house. He has finished his wall around the pool area which really looks great. Right now he is working on a project in the garage.

Enjoy your spring...spring break is over but spring is here until summer arrives. Looking forward to the pool warming up so we can enjoy it. With the cold winter and spring, it still is too cold for this Maine girl to get in.

Spring Break 2010

Spring Break of 2010 is almost over. Today is Easter Sunday and then tomorrow back to work and back to school but we have totally enjoyed our break...except that I need a break from my break. This morning we started with Easter Sunrise Service in the village, it was really nice.

I, with the help from Niel, repainted my bedroom (including the furniture) besides moving other articles around the house. We did the "spring cleaning" as we ventured through the house on this Spring Break. Most people come to Florida to enjoy the beaches...we live here, so we worked on Spring Cleaning and changing up the house. Here are a few pictures:




David basically had two weeks of Spring Break. His senior class went to Puerto Rico the week before we had Spring Break. He had a great time.During his offical spring break he worked many hours at Chic-Fil-e. He is saving for a motorcycle.

Brian was on Spring Break as well and he spent his time helping Memaw & PopPop in Ocala. He did manage to get some fishing in when he headed this way. We want mention how he got his truck stuck fishing but will mention he did catch some keepable trout.Chelsea and Brian's spring break was on different weeks but she was able to head this way with Brian to enjoy Easter with us and her family.

Mark stayed in Oklahoma for Spring Break with a trip to Kansas City to see his Aunt Laura and Cousin Amanda. They had a great time visiting and Amanda showed the the local jazz clubs. Mark even had a huge snow storm during his spring break when he made it back to Oklahoma. Janel was able to come home to see her parents during her Spring Break. We were able to have lunch with her and her folks one Sunday when she was home. It was nice.

Niel really did not have a spring break. He took a few afternoons off and a day as well but I managed to have a list of things I needed help with.He purchased this piece of furniture I was wanting in our church thrift store,it has found a home where the old desk used to set. It is nice. He helped me with the molding around the room and he was able to finish the retaining wall around the pool. I think he needs a vacation from my vacation.

It finally feels like Spring is here! If we had time, it would have been perfect beach weather but it was perfect weather to spring clean as well.
