Busy, busy, busy.

J and S were here last weekend. It was loads of fun, except I have been sick with a cold since then. In spite of that, I have been subbing and am booked for all of next week. J helped to several things while he was here. One of them was driving my car (bribery) to help take some wood to the neighbor's. S is practically almost done with the bath. No dancing in the streets yet.
S did J's parent teacher conferences (I was very proud of him) and J is doing very well. He has 8 classes and is getting 5 A's, 2 B's, and one C-. The C- is mostly because he just doesn't turn in the work. His last test in that class (pre algebra) was an A- and it was a good thing he got that. His grade before that was a D-! Not sure about all those minus grades. I haven't had a teacher give those in ages. S said J's band teacher couldn't say enough about how wonderful a student J was. He said his prior teachers in music gave him an excellant grounding and he would love to make clones of him!!! (I don't think so!!!!!!!!) He said J is always aware of where he is in the music, pays close attention, and shows great understanding in class. So, Kudos to Mrs. Henderson and Mr. C for forming another musician! He is even playing louder, which I believe is Bethany's kudo (she gave him a few lessons before school started).

Other than that, if you are in Tillamook, you know it is raining cats and dogs. Nope, I take that back. It is saber tooth tigers and Mastedons! It has been really windy (both of our for sale signs were blown over!) here and T is experiencing Tornado warnings and watches in Ft Knox.

It sounds like your "boys" are doing well. Congratulations to Jonathan for a good school report. I'm glad he's doing so well in band. --Mrs. H
