wonderful day

It was a wonderful day. This evening I got to go to a potluck for the music teachers in CDA. It was so special to see old friends and to meet new ones. I'm so glad that we retirees were invited.

It makes me sad to think of not being part of the new school year. I'm grateful for the timing of the Oregon Coast trip next week so I won't be here to see the buses full of excited children that first week of school. But my friend, Pat, was talking about bus duty and that put things in perspective. There are things about teaching that aren't that fun. But I loved it.

Jake was a very patient son today. He took me to Safeway and to Costco. He followed me around while I drove an electric scooter cart at both places. I had fun turning really fast and sharp a few times and almost ran into him just to keep him on his toes. I'm getting pretty good at driving those things but it would be a shame to run into my sweet son. Just kidding.

Today I felt so good! My response to coffee always lets me know how I'm feeling. No coffee=okay day. Once cup=good day. Two cups=amazing day. Today was a two cup day!

Thank you for your love and prayers. Love, Julie
