Summer Vacation

I'm a teacher. There's nothing I enjoy more than the first days of summer vacation. Ah...freedom! Freedom from school routine and office politics. All the glorious free time that looms before me. I always think that I'll do all these great and wonderful things with all this free time. Projects get identified and listed, and some even get started. Today's project turned out to be this blog. I never even considered the possibility before, but suddenly here I am and it's done.
Now I have this place to come to and set down my thoughts about whatever. What an accomplishment.
I have spent the last two days in Dallas visiting with the the Munchkin Princess. How I love that child!! Last night when changing clothes, I caught just the teeniest whiff of that wonderful milky, Johnson & Johnson baby fragrance and I missed her already. Today she is two months old and she is learning how to smile. She favored her GiGi with several, but Grandmom only got one. Considering the situation, I've decided that she recognizes who is closer to God.
While on this visit we saw Dr. for first innoculations against dreaded baby diseases. It was easier being the Grandmom in this. The Mom came out of the examining room in tears. But GiGi had read that a dose of sugar water administered either just before or after the injections had been found to reduce evidence of discomfort. I don't know if the greatgrandmother wisdom worked or if it was all in the baby Tylenol, but the little girl recovered quickly and slept soundly post trauma.
We took our four generation picture while on this visit. I have a feeling I'll be receiving a 5"x7" for my birthday next week.
