School started this week and I only drove by once to see what was happening with the building plan. the school where I taught was built in 1951 and an addition was added in 1961. After all these years they are building a new school.
ON Wednesday night Cathy Geyer and I went to Kramer and drove around the crushed gravel road to see what changes have happened. The hill where we used to go sledding is now a big hole for a basement. The busses now drive around to the back black top to drop kids off for breakfast and school. I guess they dismiss out back too. In the front there is all parking. No more grassy area by the gym. But the kids can still play on the back playground. I wonder where they have Phys. Ed classes? I think I should take a picture. Maybe tomorrow morning.

What To Do If you are a Retired Teacher?
This week had some interesting events occur.
It rained some so I didn't get to swim, but I did walk three days. Whoo! Whoo! Not for long though. I must not get discouraged.
For the first time in a long time I got to have lunch with the retired Kramer lunch bunch. I heard some funny stories about former students. I enjoyed soup and salad. And I have two prayer requests. Susan Gresham and Marilyn Young have cancer. We also learned that the teachers at Kramer have no where to park. The parking lots are where the new building is going to be. So glad I retired. Its also going to be a hot first week of school and a five day one at that. School starts on the 17th of August.
ON Tuesday morning I went to have blood drawn at the hospital. Now you sign in and wait a long time to be told to walk down to the Lab. The technician found some blood in me, and took out 7 vials for the tests I have to have done. I still have a bruise. It is fading though.
Thursday I did some running around to Richmond, Indiana and got tickets to the Indianapolis zoo. We are going tomorrow for Lita's birthday. And I got Lita's presents.
Friday, daytime I cleaned the OBF kitchen. And then last night I went to a Missoula children's theater. The kids there preformed "The Little Mermaids" not the Disney or Anderson version. It was a bit long for me as I didn't have any children in it. The story was cute and the kids did a great job for one week of practice.
Also this week I had two nights of cards playing Hand and foot. Fun family night.
Trying hard not to avoid people and to have a good time. Even if I am a retired teacher. FYI I have only bought a few school supplies: two boxes of markers, two erasers and one package of notebook paper. Total spent $3.00 yeah me.6+*999999999999999994555555555 thanks for the help cats!

MId year check up
Have I mentioned I hate growing old?
Discovered a new problem last weekend. I can't swim under water any more. Well, I can. I just can't go as far or as fast.
So today I resolved to exercise more. Seems like I said that before. Like everything else, you just have to do it. FYI medical bills are not what I want to spend my retirement on.
Checking up on my goals for this year: I did go to Lita's wedding. So that is a done. That is about all though.
I promise to do better in the next 4 months.
