Omgoodness, 😲 your temperature has cracked 100!! Well, mine was about 65 today, so if we shared a some of each other's, that would give us both low 80s...perfect!! 😁 If you also get humidity, that's a deal breaker lol! I'm only used to dry heat. I've been to Hawaii once and know that humidity stuff is not for me!!

Kat, your mom's story sounds amazing, and yes, very 50s, if indeed her mom was young and unwed. I'm not too familiar with adoption records laws in Canada, and Canada seems to be very protective of primary records (birth, marriage, death), but I'd be very happy to look up anything you might be interested in. In my own family, I think my great-great grandfather was born out of wedlock in New Brunswick in the 1830s, as there were rumors of some "secret" about his mom. He had the chance to find out what the secret was, but he would've had to keep the secret from his wife, and he wouldn't do that. I've been studying that line since 1989, but it wasn't until a few years ago that I learned of this supposed secret from my grandmother. I've since learned his mother's first name and some of her married names, but not her maiden name, so that line is at a dead end for me right now.

My first 9 years of teaching was 3rd and 4th grades in a two-room public school in a small Oregon town in the coastal mountains. There were 6 two-room schools in the state at the time. The other classroom was 1st and 2nd grade. I taught all subjects, including PE, but not music. I was also the head teacher. I stayed home with our sons until they went to school. We put them in a private Christian school (elementary and middle), and it wasn't long before I was offered a job to teach there. I was the librarian for grades K-8 for a couple years and then went back to classroom teaching. I taught K one year, 5th grade for several years, and my last position was 6th grade homeroom (teaching Bible, Science, Reading, and Soelling). I also taught some of the grades in the Comouter Lab and was Director of Curriculum. I had to retire early due to my severe narcolepsy. I loved both schools, the kids, parents, and staff. I have been one blessed girl!

I'm so sorry you're not getting an SUV, but whatever you get, you'll make it look good going down the road! 😎 My sister and her hubby have a Fiesta. It's his commuter car, and he loves it! You're so right about it coming loaded. It's got a gadget for just about everything, I think! I'll be anxious to hear what you guys think after your test drive on Thursday. How exciting to get something new and shiny!!

I am looking forward to this surgery because the foot is painful. I was supposed to have surgery back on 19 May, but my vitamin D level was super low, 11 points lower than the lowest the surgeon will operate at (vitamin D helps bones heal), so he's got me on 8 weeks of mega doses of vitamin D. I have one dose left, but just got a call today to go ahead and go in for a blood test to check the level. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying I'm at least at 20. 🙏🏻🤞🏻 If it's lower than 20, surgery will get rescheduled again, and the pain continues. I can't take that much longer!

Sorry this is so long!! Sending hugs! 🤗💖🤗 🐾🐾
