We had just gone to see the rabbits who live a few blocks over. Fed them some clover and dandelion leaves. As we walked back home, Charlie saw the fire truck down the street and watched as it drove by. Waved to the firefighters as they passed. They waved back. It sure was a looong truck. A little excitement in the neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.
Something smoking in in the culinary room. You know how easily the smoke alarms go off when you burn toast at home.
You always know it isn’t just a drill when you hear the trucks come. All was checked out and fine.
And two girls were waiting for me at my classroom door yesterday morning, bouquet in hand.
What a surprise! Thank you girls. That was so sweet.
and at the Double Wide Grill after school, a colleague brought the two retirees, another lovely bouquet
A good day.
Friday the last day with students, Two classes take finals. Then it is clerical days next week, gradebook entries and RETIREMENT begins.
Thank you Cynthia. The flowers are lovely.
One more gallery of New York City. I’ve been home a week.
By looking at the photographs, I’m still enjoying the time I had with my sister.
I was a tourist for sure!

“Still Standing”. The Seagrave Truck made in Clintonville, Wisconsin has an amazing story on the Ten House website. On the side of the building is the Bronze 9/11 Memorial Wall. The garage door was open part way.
