Pastor Dave's Highlights

[Bruce]

First Day of school tomorrow. It was a short summer break!

Back to school already? We start the Wednesday after Labor day.

Schools around here usually start back the Wed before Labor Day. That gives them a 3 day week, then a 4 day week to get back in stride.

Theae guys get a Fall Break of abt a week that we probably got a day off for. It was probably midterm and we had parent-teacher conference on Thursday night. Then, the following day off but grounded as a result of conference.

They get extra week at Spring break and abt two weeks at Christmas too. I imagine one of these days we will have a month for summer break and add that other month of days to the other breaks throughout the year to extend them all a little.

We get 1 week off for Christmas/New Year. 1 day for Columbus Day but for my son's school district they usually schedule the day after Columbus Day as Superintendent's day (no school) so it's a 4-day weekend for them. A couple of years ago they were closed for Columbus day then Superintendent's day then Yom Kippur, 3 days in a row. It was hard looking for child care that week as those were working days for both DH and I.

 

[Pastor Dave]

Yah I imagine. I don't know how parents juggle summer break and work and snow days and work or a student's sick day and work, etc. My mother was a stay at home mom. My wife is too, and I have the office across the drive in the church, but with Wi-Fi, tablets, and laptops, I can work in the parsonage. It has to be a real balancing act.

Today is The Day. Minor surgery today at 10:30 EDST. Small incision over hernia sight, just left of center abt 4" above naval. Supposed to be back and at it in a few days and only 4 weeks weight restriction. Got everything done up to this point I can think to do to be ready or make it easier for Jill. Finished processing rabbits yesterday, mowed a little yesterday, ran to town for more school supplies that didn't make it on the overall list for that grade, and quit eating and drinking by midnight. Good to go I reckon.

Thinkng about you and just know this will be an "easy fix".

At least you feel caught up with work at home things & can relax. Good job.
