How you feeling these days, Mama Kay? Are you staying cool? 😊 

I’m good, my dear, thank you! Yes staying inside, in the AC. Enjoying my time with my family, and keeping busy with organizing for the big shower in August. How are you Laraae 💗 

I’m good, too—thanks for asking! I’m sore this morning from doing too much yesterday. I was already feeling iffy yesterday from working out pretty hard on Friday. But I was determined to go through some boxes and get rid of some stuff (when I retired last year, I pretty much brought my entire classroom home and it’s all over our basement!), and of course, I did too much 😬. So I’ll just take it easy today. I have family coming over to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. He died 2 years ago, but my mom makes his favorite cake, and we swap stories about him while eating. I hope you get to enjoy today, too. 😊🎈 

Your tradition sounds incredible. I should really start doing that for my dad! My mom was a schoolteacher and so was my dad, so when they both retired they did exactly what you did and brought their classrooms home with them. My mom still can’t part with some of her stuff and it still in a box or two. It’s like you have to see it all in front of you in order to process it. I’m sure that you have a lot of processing to do. As far as being sore I would definitely have an a tub full of Epson salt 1 cup at least and soak in that for 20 minutes. It’s an old sports medicine trick. Enjoy your time with your family my dear 

🥰👍🏻 

What a nice tradition to remember your dad! 

Thanks, erika. 😊🎈
