Last Week of School

Only two snd a half days of school left. Not sure if the kids are more anxious or I am! We went on our annual picnic today. It was very hot and humid, but we managed to find shade. The weatherman forcasted rain so we didn't complain too much.

June 10th will be the closing on the house. Guy will fly down. I will do my part via mail. We are ready mentally to leave, but we have a lot of tossing and a garage sale to set up. I dread that part.

We are waiting on our passports to come in this next week. The cruise is just around the corner. I will need it by the time we get to Texas!

Mother's Day 2006

Our nephew, Clayton, and the Hanrahans joined us for Mother's Day at the Country Club. It sure was cold for May 14th!!

More toys!

The Quilts

Grandma Rogers made all of the grandchildren beautiful quilts. She is one talented lady! (I found these photos still on Guy's digital camera. )

New job in August

After a conference call interview with four teachers and a principal, I will be teaching fourth grade at Ashley Elementary in Frisco. ( And I will not be the oldest of the six!) The school opened in the fall of 2005 for K-5. From the map, it looks like a ten minute commute. When I go down to Texas in June, I will get a tour of the facilities. And in July, I will meet my team. So I will be off on a new adventure!!

Not yet........

Wish I could tell you that we closed on the house and we were now home owners, but I can't. After two and a half weeks, the owners did not repair everything from the inspection agreement so we postponed the closing. They will have to pay to have it re-inspected and THEN we will a walk-through.

I did have an excellent interview with Bob in HR at Frisco ISD. I am quite confident that I will receive a call in June to interview with some principals.

So...there we are! Just a few more weeks of school and then we pack for the move!

Easter Sunday!

Visited Christ Church Episcopal in Plano on Sunday. It is huge! I didn't know that there were that many Episcopalians anywhere! We had a wonderful time with our children and look forward to many, many more when we move to Texas in June.

Enchanted Meadow, Frisco, Texas

This will be our new home in about three weeks. Master, one bedroom, two baths, two living areas, and kitchen on the first floor and two bedrooms, one bath, and one living area (loft) on the second floor. 2,891 sq. ft. of Texas living space on a corner lot. We are extremely excited!

Sushi with the Thrones

We sure do miss Pam and Tom, but every now and then we meet in Lawrence and have sushi! Bring your own wine and beer. And of course, we have to have it on a boat!!!

Warm sunny beaches!

PowellGardens

Took some great photos of Powell Gardens today. Trees were budding and flowers were beginning to bloom.

Need to cruise!

As we go through the the first weeks of spring and put the winter behind us, I spend my time daydreaming about the upcoming cruise to the Eastern Caribbean in July with the Rogers, Kelleys, and Basses.

Rain!

Well, we did bring rain to Texas! And it was needed! Grandma Rogers loved Garth and Kate's house in Carrollton. We spent all day driving around neighborhoods in Frisco just to get the feel of the city. Found a couple of houses that I'd like to look at.....that will be the next visit in April. Now I am looking at houses on the web and using Mapsco to locate them. I keep telling Guy that we need a house with a pool or jaccuzi so that the kids will want to visit us!
Our niece, Ashley, and her friend, Amber, met us for dinner at Babe's on Saturday night. Sure will be nice to have family so close to us again.

Bailey

As we get ready to head Dallas this weekend, all I can think about are the bluebonnets. I hope that they are blooming by now. In the spring, the Texas roads are ablaze with wild flowers. This is a photo of Bailey taken by Garth several years ago. It has always been one of my favorites.

Going Back to God's Country

Steve told us about another lake that allows you to build a dock. Has anyone heard about this place? You can go to http://www.northstarpointe.com/ and check out the website. We are going to Dallas next weekend to look for a "location" of where we want to be. Then the next step will be finding land/house. We haven't ruled out Granbury for a lakehouse, and we are still looking at Frisco because of the job opportunities for me. No matter what....we will be moving to Texas this summer!

Comments

I believe that I have now edited the comment section and you can now type something without having to log on.

Okay Steve

Steve said that it looked like he and Tray did not attend the wedding! So here is one of my brother and I. He will have to send some of Tray. I think he was too busy playing soccer outside whenever I had a camera out.

Enjoyed seing my aunts and one cousin. We should get together more often.

Jaime and Matt's Wedding

We just got back from Jaime and Matt's wedding in Killeen. Flew into Dallas and drove down with Garth and Kate. Meredith flew into Killeen on Thursday so she could go to a luncheon and the rehearsal dinner. She was a bridesmaid and looked beautiful in her dress. It was wonderful to be back in Texas and to be with all of our family.

Just Getting Started

After reading so many blogs lately, I decided to start my own. Looks like a good way to share photos and notes about the Rogers.
