This has been a hectic week.  My grandson Drew has been in the hospital with pneumonia but thankfully, he went home on Monday.  He's only 3 and it was heartbreaking to see him suffering in the hospital!  I couldn't bear it.  I am such a marshmallow and cannot stand to see people in pain, especially little ones.  He goes to the dr. today and hopefully his lungs are clearing up.

I am now tutoring 3 students, which is a good thing, since I earn $50.00 an hour.  Two of the students I tutor are twice a week and one is one time a week for an hour and a half.  In between that, I also substitute teach.  I really enjoy teaching but this is nice - teaching without the stress.  Plus, I like the extra money.  That way I can save and spend, etc.  But I ALWAYS pay my tithing first - ALWAYS!  And I have been very blessed because of it. 

Trying to make more meatless meals and still swimming two or three times a week.  Looking better without the stress and some inches off.  And we are eating healthier.  I love the taste of organic and freshly grown food.  Does everyone know about the farmer's market every Saturday on Main and Cherry Streets in Tomball.  Coolest place ever.  Pasture eggs are the best!

Teaching third grade at Decker Prairie tomorrow.  Like that campus - everyone is so friendly. 

Random thought:  I reread Jeffrey Holland's talk from conference and I'm really thinking about what it means to be a disciple of Christ. 

Have a great day and evening.

Two months into retirement and I'm as busy as I ever thought I would be.  True, I still get down once in a while but I seem to be able to pick myself up and dust myself off a lot sooner than I used to be able to do!

Been going to gardening classes at Arbor Gate and swimming exercise once or twice a week.  I'm really enjoying my freedom.  Been doing some subbing and some tutoring as well.  Anxious for the cooler weather to stay here so I can make soups, breads, etc. 

Anxious to share some of the good recipes I've gotten from Pinterest.
