I'm very fortunate to be a High School Teacher. Teaching adolescents can be very trying and Summer break allows me to recharge for another year in the classroom. Unfortunately, I feel I often "waste" some of this valuable time. This year I decided to document my 10 weeks.
After the usual good byes, I headed home yesterday. Job "one" was take the dog on our regular 4 mile walk. I intend to take a good walk as often as weather allows. Hopefully this will help in my goal of loosing 15-20 pounds.
After returning I started weeding one of our flower beds. I have a lot of yard work to accomplish this summer, but yard work is just the tip of my "Honey Do" list. I got a lot further than I thought, washed up and took my wife and daughter to the airport. They are doing a couple of weeks in Rome and Florence while my Son and I hold down the fort. Without any distractions I should get plenty done! Maybe if I keep busy I won't miss them as much. :(
I took the long way home through Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks. The Seven Lakes Drive was absolutely beautiful as the sun started setting in the west. I listened to the Met's botch another game as I made my way home.....
