Shakin' in the Midwest!

I am in the middle of recovering from my tonsils being removed last Wednesday, April 9. Yuk.

Oh my, my ex-roomie Anna was not joking when she said the recovery was awful!

I finally stepped out of my grandma's house today and went to my brother's soccer game where they beat Dowling 2-0! : )

Well, the weirdest thing happened last night. I was dreaming, and all of a sudden I felt like I was in a plane crash. My body shook and I thought the plane was going down. Fairly quickly, my dream turned into a horendous nightmare ending in a awful plane crash!

This morning, I woke up to find out that the shake I felt was actually the tremors of an earthquake! What?! Craziness!

So, after recovering from the mini-earthquake, I am still recovering from my surgery.

My throat still feels terrible, I can't talk, and eating is painful. Hopefully, I will feel better soon!

Two of my precious students from Miami sent me flowers today!!! Oh my goodness!!!! I almost started crying; I was so touched! : ) They wrote a really sweet note with the GORGEOUS BOUQUET!!! Thank you both so much! I miss you dearly!

Catch My Disease by Ben Lee

See Key West! It's the Best!

I have now been to the Southernmost Southernmost point in the continental United States and I am incredibly proud to say so!

Elaina, Mel, and I went down to Key West for the day and had a delightful time. The drive down there was beautiful...through all of the Florida Keys, over The Seven Mile Bridge, past the various beaches, and with a spectacular view the entire drive.

I love nice weather.

We pretty much just wandered around Key West. The day could not have been more perfect. I could to experience Elaina and Mel's first time eating Key Lime Pie! Mel's face was great... "Oh my! This is tart!" Yes...it is lime pie.

Here is the point that marks 90 miles to Cuba. I have to say this is pretty swell! I would love to go to Cuba. It is on my List. Other places on my list are Israel (Jerusalem), North Korea, raising a child in a foreign country, and buying a family a goat.

Definitely go to Key West. It is wonderful!

Key Largo, Montigo, Baby Why Don't We Go to Jamaica or the Florida Keys?!
