Summer is here. It seems like we went from cold to warm in no time at all! Actually on the official day of summer...it started to feel like summer.
What have we done since school has been out?
I've been trying to do yoga everyday. I absolutely adore Groove Yoga! Unfortunately my knee does not like it and I have been told NOT to do it everyday. Bummer.
Looking for a place to live and getting our passports are top on the list. We have had some small hikes, biking, time at the dog park and kids setting up overpriced lemonade stands! We also checked out The Bite of Bend and experienced stuffed bananas! We went to a nice block party on Sunday, headed to Sunriver for the night and had some quality time at the river.
We have one tired dog and possibly some sunburned girls! I love the time spent outside!

Musings on....feeling blue
Today I feel blue.
We have lived here for two years and I think I'm finally getting the hang of this place. We have been renting a perfectly fine house and would probably continue to rent, but found out that the property is going to auction in July. Time to find a new place to live. Circumstances beyond our control prevent us from finding a place to buy.
I just want to settle down and have something to call our own. This "limbo" thing does not work for me. I need my own place. I think I'm also feeling a little homesick. I have not seen my family for almost a year. I don't want my girls to feel removed from their grandparents and cousins. We call each other often, we Skype, but it's still hard.
We are not heading to the east coast this summer. The first time I think. The reason being...we have to find a place to live. I guess I'm feeling a bit bitter as well.
Did I vent enough? Not sure. I need to go to my yoga class tomorrow.

Musings on....the end of school
It's the end of school! Yea!
I now have one child going to middle school and another going to high school. So hard to believe.
This whole week I have been subbing for the art teacher. It has felt so good to be back in a classroom. I miss the feel of it. I truly enjoyed working with the kids. During the week, I had one art class and two yearbook classes. I had to put up with the typical shenanigans that go along with subbing, but I really did not mind.
I love organizing the "stuff" in an art room. Lets clean the glue bottles...lets get rid of dry markers....lets organize the shelves. Call me crazy...but I enjoy that kind of stuff!
Maybe, just maybe....there will be a teaching job for me. I can keep hoping....right?

Musings on ....photography
I was playing with my camera yesterday. Took the dog down to the river for a swim. I was experimenting with aperture and speed, and got some cool shots of the river. I need to play around with it a little more....maybe a tripod so my rocks are sharper?
Musings on....my flock
This weekend I kept my hands busy and created more pin cushions. I've decided to call them Pin Cushion Peeps! I need to get some new sweaters and use more colors. Right now I would like to use as much as I can with what I have. I have no idea if anyone would find these cute....but it's worth a try! My daughter does not like the idea of sticking pins into them!
