Hi all!

First of all - cats and/or other predatory creatures suck. They just do.  Right after I posted about the sweet little birdies that had hatched in our hanging basket, something ate them! All I could find were sad little gray pinfeathers on the ground - Mother Nature can sure be harsh! So I will never allow myself to get attached to little critters again! (On the other hand, I then recently saw a mouse -TWICE - run by our sliding glass door along the patio - to which I say, “At ‘em, cats!”.)

Now…on to my life lately. It is all about preschool, preschool, preschool. Decker is attending his speech program again this year (and very happy to be back!), but also will be starting an additional school that will run concurrently. This wouldn’t seem so complicated, except they are on very different schedules! So one school goes MWF in the mornings, and the other runs T-F in the early afternoons. So each day is going to differ where we are, whether we are in a hurry to get from Walnut Creek to Pleasant Hill, and whether or not I am co-oping that day or not! It’s gonna be crazy for a while, I get the feeling! But I’m psyched for Decker, and I think he will enjoy both experiences. I’m psyched for me, too. I kinda miss the whole community/committee thing (much as I may gripe about long-running meetings), so I think it will be enjoyable for me too. If I can remember where the heck I’m supposed to be that day!
