Saturday wishing

Well, we FINALLY put in a full five days at school! A full week has been few and far between since Thanksgiving. I am happy about the full week, but I could tell by Thursday morning some of my students were starting to show some 'wear and tear' from the work load!  LOL!  A few of them still had enough energy to try and be funny by asking me if I used to ride a dinosaur to school (geez... who will they have to pick on when I do retire). So cute and comedic... I told them I sure did but finally traded it in for a mule... that I had to walk 4 miles through the snow to get to before I could hop on and head for school 12 miles away. Actually, they're not being disrespectful - just trying to 'connect' with humor. They know where and when to draw the line and we do have fun! They also think it is more than awesome they have a teacher [female no less] who rides a Harley! It is always an event when I roar up to the school on Dyna.

As I could not sleep well last night, I baked cookies until 1 A.M. and then scanned through [and started following some new] blogs. Now that it is definitely daylight on this gorgeous Saturday morning, I find myself with Saturday wishing. I am wishing for a nice warm Saturday morning so Telephone Man and I can enjoy our coffee on our front porch -- then head out on our Harleys for a Saturday ride on the back roads in our area.
 Those two wishes will just have to wait a bit longer! However, I am thankful for this wonderful day and look forward to 'date night' with Telephone Man tonight.

We will be celebrating Valentine's Day a little early; it just fits into our schedule better. We're taking TM's mother with us as the restaurant  is a favorite [out of many!!!] of ours and was of TM's parents for years [his father is deceased]. I already know what I will order: French Onion Soup, their famous Iowa Pork Chop, house salad, and a nice glass of dry white wine. I may even sneak in some cheesecake if I have room left. Okay, so I am trying to act like I may not have room left -- I will have a piece of cheesecake!
I haven't bought a card for TM for Valentine's Day yet. So I will end this post with an addition to my Saturday wishing -- I wish for many more years with Telephone Man by my side! I love you, honey!!
Happy Valentine's Day to you and to all our new friends in blogland!!!!!

    Hello Dyna, I usually try to make contact with my new followers by sending them a Hello email. I didn't se an email for you, so I'm leaving the message here.

    Welcome to my blog and I hope we can get to know each other thru blogging.

    2015 may seem like a long time from now, but it will be here sooner than you think. I have been working very hard for a year on the house and on downsizing. I estimate we have another 10 months to go and then the wait to see if it sells.

    I like to hear what others are doing to get ready. It keeps me motivated, and I hope I can do the same for others.

    So, lets share some ideas along the way!
