June 2010

June brings the official start of summer and the end of the school year.  Although I teach at a year-round school, I still have a summer vacation.  This year, vacation officially begins on June 10!  I am looking forward to a summer filled with books, swimming and relaxation!


I am fortunate enough to have sister with a wonderful pool and a float similar to the one picture!  I do believe that I can accomplish all 3 goals though a visit to Auntie Kara's house!

I have quite a few books I'm hoping to read this month.  I won't list them for fear of not reaching my goal, but hopefully I will amass a long list of reviews by the end of the month!
