BECAUSE OF MY DIAGNOSIS OF

MADE THE DECISION TO RETIRE.

BESIDES ALL OF THE ABOVE, I ADDED:
CLEANING OUT ALL CUPBOARDS
CLEANING DESK
MAKING NOTES FOR A NEW TEACHER
CLEANING CARTS
THROWING OUT
THROWING OUT
THROWING OUT
(BUT NOT THROWING UP)
DECIDING WHO WOULD GET WHAT
I SPENT 3 SATURDAYS FROM 6:00 A.M. - 7:00 P.M.
ALL WHILE IN A BOOT, CRUTCHES, AND WHEELCHAIR.

I HAD THE BEST HELPERS OVER
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!






AND, NOW, MY MAYS LOOK LIKE THIS:

DANCE FESTIVALS AT 3 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS
HIGH SCHOOL DANCE RECITAL

BEST OF ALL, BEING A 
"STAY AT HOME AUNT!"
