Wow! Where did May go?

We really haven't accomplished much this past month. I have been busy with real estate, Loretta is going through various changes at her work place which calls for longer hours, and DJ is moving up to the 5th Grade where I am sure he will remain his usual high flying self! The photo on the right is of DJ at his year end Orchestra concert at Brinton Elementary. I cannot say it enough....well rounded!!!! The other photo is of DJ and one of his best friends, Andrew.

Little League officially ends tonight with the closing ceremonies after the championship game. My team, the Dodgers, did not make it and we did lose our two opening games so we were knocked out of the tournament rather quickly. I never judge our season by wins and losses and unfortunately too many parents stress upon their kids that is how you have a "good" season. Do I want to win? Absolutely! At all costs? Never, because you then compromise who you are and what you stand for. My opinion of a good season is judging how my kids improved. Too many parents yelling at their kids from the stands instead of encouraging. Just once I wish the parents would just drop off their kids at the ballpark and not be allowed to enter for just one game! Talk about just being able to enjoy the game....WOW!

We are trying to keep Devin busy for the next month or so and all of you back in New Mexico will see him at some point during the week of June 12-18. He is flying back on June 12 and LJ and myself will drive to pick him up on June 18 and stay the weekend. We are planning on going to Los Angeles and Seattle the last two weeks of July. Not sure if I want to be on the road for up to six days, but I guess when you have time to spare and all day to get there......we'll see. I hear good things about Seattle so if anyone has any opinion, good or bad, please let me know.

A goal without a plan is just a wish. Antoine de Saint Exupery
