What beautiful flowers you're all posting... and Cindy... that fishing trip sounded so fun... I just know it was great for you to get away a while.

Well, that 4th of July party last night was a real extravaganza... I just know that everyone who was anybody in Tyler, TX was there... These people know how to go overboard for a party. 300 people were there... Valet parking... orchestrated fireworks show... they rented the house next door and moved out the furniture to a storage box type thingie, and set up the catered buffet and all the foods in the downstairs part of that house... and their house was crawling with people... sheesh... they had clowns and balloon guys for the kids... they had a party planner that was milling around to make sure everything went smooth.
When we left, Mike asked me if all of our 4th of July parties were so big... I said "NOOOO"... it's usually just a backyard ta do with a few friends who all bring their own fireworks to blow up... that was just way too big of a deal.

And, today we're driving into Dallas with Don. We'll drop Don off at the stadium then Mike and I are spending the afternoon at the mall. We'll meet Don back at the stadium to watch a real professional all American Baseball game... then let Don drive back home...
I do Not like to drive in Dallas... much less to and from Dallas.

Tomorrow is Mikes last day with us... and YES... some tears have already been shed... He's been a perfect first student for us... and will be a hard act to follow for all the rest who pass through our hearts.
This is my favorite picture of Mike since he's been with us... sitting in the bleachers at a track competition with his friends.
This one will be framed and go on our wall with all the other students yet to come our way.
