Back from Retreat

We had a wonderful time at our retreat. We went to Silver Lake in Sharon, CT. There was about 23 of us - I think the cabin could sleep 30. We had a huge fireplace in the great room, which we pretty much kept burning morning, noon and night. The snow added the mystical element to make a perfert winter scene. We had to walk to our dining hall and 3 of our members were servers at each meal. I will def. go again and I'd like to try to organize some event up there...once classes are over I'll look into it more. But I can see a painting, scrapbooking or book club weekend get away. Of course I forgot my camera so I have no pictures. If anyone posts them I will try to put a couple here.

Now it's back to work and school...the party is over.

It's been too long

Well, one of my good friends said she noticed that I hadn't updated my blog in months...well that is because school is killing me. I am having a hard time keeping up with everything and am really looking forward to the semester ending.

I am taking ballroom and it is a lot of fun. Of course I don't know how good it will do me because Wayne doesn't know how to dance and I think I'll look pretty funny doing it myself.

English - it's a new teacher and he is learning. His tests are stange but guess I'll learn more in the end.

Math ~ once we do it a couple times, it does come back to me.

Yoga ~ Umm didn't know my body could bend this way. I really do like it.

Medical Term ~ wow there are a lot of words to memorize.

This weekend I am going for a much needed get away with a group of ladies from church - I am looking forward to it an will update everyone when I get back.

Peace all.

New Play Date

There will be an Open House this Wed. at The Basket Shop and The Carriage Barn in Gaylordsvill, CT. Please let me know if you plan to attend.

The countdown has begun. I have 3 classes let of each subject - I am close to the end that I can taste it.

We had a nice Thanksgiving Day - blessings to you all. Wayne and Matt had to leave about 5 PM for a soccer tournament in NJ. Now Brandi and I are watching Hairspray - very cute.

Tomorrow is Black Friday and I am going to try and be up for the mad dash.

Till next time....peace, Kathy

Survived Mid-terms

Well, I passed my two mid-terms with flying colors and I'm just so grateful that they are over. I got a 93 in Sociology and 100 in American Years of American Music - shocker for both. I also joined Phi Theta Kappa - after struggling so long I'm proud of myself - of course that and $1 will get me a cup of coffee. haha I've signed up for next semesters classes - 6 of them. I pray none of them get dropped because I need them all except the fun one that I am taking just to give me full time status. Yoga, Ballroom Dancing, Lit & Comp, Medical Terms, Basic Math (need a refresher course) and the fun one...Crime Scene Re-enactment!

The weather has cooled right down and all the leaves are off the trees - sad. It was pretty around here. Now I drive to class and it is already dark - so depressing. I'm getting ready to gear up for Christmas....yea.

Senior Night



This is me and Wayne at our son's Senior Night Soccer game - boy do I need make-up.

I've been tagged...

Ok...I've been tagged by my good friend Diane at http://thedianediaries.blogspot.com/. She has a awesome blog that I visit often. If you're a blogger, you know that other bloggers often tag you and give you awards. This tag is for a YOU MAKE ME SMILE AWARD. Now, I have to tell you seven things about myself and and then tag a few other bloggers with the award. (I don't know how to tag others...but I would if I could).

Seven things about myself:

1. I love cross-stitch, stamping and scrapbooking ~ just don't have time to do it.

2. I grew up in farm country and it helped me to become the person that I am. You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.

3. My favorite color is purple.

4. Before I die I want to go to: Ireland, Germany and England

5. I am going back to school and I love to learn (just wish I didn't have to work so much now).

6. I love watching women's soccer.

7. I am a secret lover of ladybugs, bees and elephants.
