Seems like a fun idea until they are fifteen minutes late coming home and you start imagining a million terrible things that may have happened. However, I'm sure she is happy and should be. 🤔

In 2011 we had 90 days that were at or above 100 degrees here, 3 of which were in may.
Plus, that year and 2000 both gave us our all-time static high temps of 112.
Last year was our 3rd hottest year with 51 days at or above 100 degrees.
I’ll easily trade it for not having to deal with ice and/or snow for 3-4 months, or more, out of the year...!!! ;):)

That is the same year as here in NC, so we must have all been part of that weather pattern. That was when I moved to NC. I arrived here on April 17th and the heat wave was shortly after that. May, June and July sounds about right. BTW, those ice and snow seasons up north last a lot longer then 3 or 4 months.

He said they decided not to do it because they don't really have the extra money....they will be content to go on the ride. I'm considering giving it to them as a birthday and anniversary present, since my BIL will have a birthday while we're there, and their anniversary is a week later. We'll see.

I'm kind of ticked off. Last Wednesday, the scores for the 6th grade end exams were supposed to come online, and teachers could print them off and give them to the students, and then the official score letter would be sent a week later (today). Some friends of mine already got their kids' scores last week, and we were still waiting. So, they should have come today, but instead, we were told they will get them NEXT week. Apparently they didn't print them off because 20,000 kids' scores were messed up.

There's an unbiased company that scores the tests, and you get a point value based on how many answers you got correct. That point value falls in a range, which tells you which level of school you should be doing. Apparently, this company messed up the ranges, so some kids got a higher range listed than the one in which they scored. Like...87-92 is Havo, 93-100 is VWO. But some kids who scored say....90 points, it said that a score of 90 is VWO. It was discovered when teachers were shocked to see that some kids got much higher advice than what they expected, and then some kids would have the exact same score and for one kid it might say MAVO and for another it would say Havo. So they have known about this for a week and didn't tell us. So we've been waiting for DS's score, and then he hears TODAY that it's not coming until at least next week. They HOPE to have them sent out Tuesday or Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday the kids are free and it's a holiday so there won't be mail. So if they don't send the results on Tuesday, we won't get them until the following week! So we could have to wait another 2 weeks for the results. What I don't understand is that the teacher said the points assigned are correct...it just places them in the wrong categorie. So why not just look up what his point score is and tell us and we can look up the range? And why didn't they tell us about this last week?
We planned a nice dinner out to celebrate getting his score, and now we don't get the score, so we're celebrating getting the score that we didn't actually get. And he's in tears because he's already waited a month and it was supposed to come today. They could have at least let us know there was a problem and that the scores MIGHT be late so we could have prepared him for it.

Tried the raspberry dole whip. It was yummy! We also went to Whole Foods and picked up some fresh veggie juice. That store is amazing. It has a self serve juice bar now. Wish there was one near me back home.

I love the Whole Foods on turkey Lake, some of their prices weren't bad at all and they had an excellent selection
