This has been a busy week. I’ve had a lovely visitor and we
did plenty of running around, shopping and mostly talking! We ranged fairly far
afield and came across some pretty sites. Here are just a few pictures.
My friend is now safely home with her husband. I have no
doubt she is happy to be in his loving arms. But I think she had a great time
visiting too! We had a great time.
So you’d think I’d just be relaxing today from all our
running around and that should be the plan. And it would be except for Mollie.
How she did it I’ll never know but she managed to talk me into going on a field
trip with her and her third graders. I might have told you she said she wanted
someone with a teacher voice who wasn’t afraid to use it. That’s me. So I guess
it’s back to teacher mode for me.
But after that I should be getting back in the grove. There
is editing to be done, post to write and a special project I’m working on.
After all that I may actually get back to writing books!
Hi PK,
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a wonderful time together, the photos are awesome! Enjoy the field trip. Hooray for getting back into the writing groove :)

That field trip just wore me out! Looking forward to relaxing Saturday.
DeleteLove the photos, so pretty. Happy you had wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the field trip:)
Love,

It was great. The photos were taken at one of my favorite places.
DeletePictures are lovely - happy that you had a lovely time with your friend.
ReplyDeleteThe whirlwind of this past week sounds like my life. Welcome to retirement.
Have a good weekend.
I like visitors, but I also like the quiet life. That's the type retirement I crave.
DeletePK,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you have a good time with your friend. Once you know how to use your teacher voice, you always have it at the ready......... retirement or not!

That's the truth. They were a noisy bunch, but seemed to listen fairly well. They seemed fascinated that I was their teacher's mother.
DeleteThe pics are so pretty, we're still firmly entrenched in winter here. I admire you and Mollie, a field trip with kids of any age would be one of my worst nightmares. Clearly I'm not cut out to be a teacher.
ReplyDeleteThat day was beautiful and today was in the mid-70s. I'll take it. Teaching is not for everyone. And it's not for me anymore!
DeleteThose pictures are gorgeous! So glad you enjoyed your friend's visit. By now you're probably back from the field trip and hopefully have your feet up and a drink in your hand! Sounds like you're going to be keeping busy for quite a while with all that you have to do!

I got home in time for a drink and a nap and it was heavenly! Yes, I'm going to be busy.
DeleteHi PK your photos are beautiful. Nice you and your friend had such a good time. Relax and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs Lindy xx
We did have a good time and I'm going to take your advice.
DeleteIt all sounds like a lot of fun for you. Enjoy some down time now and do what you love. Your pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurel. Love visiting and I love writing, so it's shaping up into 2 great weeks.
DeleteHappy to hear you had a wonderful visit ... and such beautiful floral pics! I can just see the 3rd graders trying to figure out the teacher Mom connection ;)
ReplyDeleteGive yourself a bit more of a break and take some time to enjoy your weekend with your man before getting back in the groove ... nj ... xx
I guess most third graders can't imagine their teacher having a mother! I got some writing in while Nick played golf.
DeleteLovely photos, PK. Glad you had a good time with your friend. I once helped out on a school field trip, it’s not a job for the faint hearted!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend before getting back to being busy.

Thanks Rosie, it's been a great weekend. The field trip went smoothly, but it's not for me any more.
Deletebeautiful flowers and I am glad you had such a lovely visit. no flowers here yet which is good because they would be covered with snow... Hugs
ReplyDeleteIt's summer here one day then three days of cold. No snow here, but we did have some in a half hour away today. Cold spring.
DeleteLove those tulip photos; they're my favorite flower.
ReplyDeleteHope the field trip was fun, and you didn't have to use "teacher voice" too much! I still pull mine out now and again!
They were so beautiful! The field trip was pretty good - but tiring. So interesting seeing my little girl as 'the teacher'!
