Back from Greece!!!

Hi Everybody, I am back from my school trip taking 19 students to tour Greece and the Greek islands. We saw so many incredible things there. It was fantastic and the kids were so good, I think the best group ever I have taken in my many years as a teacher! We got many complements on their behaviour. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot too. I am very tired, and still so much going on before I can leave to come home. I have a dinner for graduates on Friday night, my anniversary is Wednesday (9 years!), and all the other closing stuff we have normally for school. I will just probably close the door on my messy office until I return and use the planning time to sort out this rats nest here! I have the door prizes for our bash and door prizes for my 40 year class reunion (Provine High class of 1966) which will happen on July 1st. I hope that I do not forget anything when packing. Oh yes, that big job too!!!! I only have an allowance of 100 pounds of luggage (2 cases) so I will have to choose carefully for that! Looks as if everyone is doing fine and we have a lot of new folks having surgery! I wish all the very best of luck and although it is a hard road to travel, the end results are fantastic! I am down now to 153 pounds from beginning weight of 235 and less than 10 pounds from my doctor's goal of 145. My years anniversary is June 28. I am still losing slowly and feeling good with no big problems so far. I think that the surgery was a good choice, and besides, how would I have gotten to know all of you? I am looking forward to meeting so many of you when we have our get to gather in Brookhaven on July 15th. See you all soon! Cheryl

I'm SO dissapointed that I won't be at the bash. We'll be driving back from Wisconsin on that day. UGH!!! If there is anyway we could just meet for a little while when you are in Jackson, let me know. Can't wait to hear all about the class reunion! HUGS Kimberly

I am glad you had such a great trip to Greece. Be safe and have a good time on your trip back to the states next month. Hugs, Danielle
