Well, fall is upon us, and I for one am ready for things to get underway. For those of you who don't already know, I will not be returning to the little one-room schoolhouse on the prairie. I miss it already. I miss the kids, the routine, the wide open spaces, and all of my friends, but I am glad to be with my family.
If you teach, or know someone who does, please keep me in mind when you're looking for a substitute. That is how I will be earning my keep this year, along with the occasional theater job. I hope to be able to make enough to move into an apartment here in Missoula. Oh, and I just started graduate school at the U of M. That's right, I'm going to be one of those spinster librarians with the beaded glasses and a zillion cats, knitting the nights away in contended solitude...that's what my brother fears, anyway. We shall see...
My second niece is due in October, and Avalon is going to be in for a big surprise. She is talking more and more every day, not always in coherent words, but she definitely knows what she means! Dan took her to school with the kids she babysits, and Avalon didn't want to leave the classroom. I'm guessing she'll like school, once she's old enough.
I hope this finds you all healthy and energized for the fall season!
Samantha
