Sprenkle Kin

first week of school OVER!!!!!

Well, it has all gone well. Good start to the year. Big classes, and fortunately good kids.....so far! We are starting on some really fun projects and I am happy with it all.

Fired a very full bisque kiln today so will have to start glazing next week. The High Road tour is in a month!!! Time goes so fast.

Valerie has had a good start to her school year too. Likes her teacher and of course just likes being around her friends. Her teacher is the wife of a teacher I work with. He is a really nice guy. PE teacher.

Everyone is doing well. Still no word on the car, so guess the insurance co. will start the paper work for payment this coming week. It is such a hassle. Alan is giving Jessie a '96 Buick Riviera. Shes not wild about it, but coming around. Thinks its "too big"??!! Anyway, we haven't gotten it yet, don't know when they plan the trade. Trying to stay out of it as much as possible. Alan does a lot of bartering so he has a few boats, a truck and apparently an extra car.

Well, the rain is at it again. We have had rain (26 in for the month so far) and it has been raining for a 6 weeks now. We have had lots of flooding in different parts of the city. And Hatch (where most of our chilie is from) has been flooded twice!! Not much of a chille crop from there. Bet it is as expensive as gas this year.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer, beginning of school, or whereever they are in their year! Love you all....and Aimee....I love this space!1 Thanks! Cindy

  • Sounds like you are off to a good start. It is so neat to hear what you and everyone is up to. Thank you ----Hope the rain comes our way. I am not doing anything but work. I may go to the zoo tomarrow with a gal at work and her 2year old boy. She is expecting a new one in Dec. Both her and I can use the exercise if it is not too hot. I LOVE YOU ALL AND MISS YOU.---BE KIND TO EACH OTHER----later Ellen JO

  • Wow!! I can't believe you've had that much rain...crazy. Hope they get the railroad ties in your back yard stabilized. I'm glad school is off to a good start. Hey, looking ahead, how about Thanksgiving in California?? I'm off the whole week and maybe we could get Mom to fly out... Maybe with Teresa? It's a thought to entertain.
    We had a great trip to the River and Ty actually thinks he might enjoy the comm. college. He and some buddies went backpacking over the weekend and camped up on San Gorgonio. Nicole is enjoying her break, I think.
    Doug and I worked on some landscaping and put in 5 skips of pebbles (two and a half tons total). Boy were we tired... had to help each other up and all the moaning and growning you'd of thought we were 100. Now with the addition of some small boulders and various cactus it will be really cool. One of these days Ty will teach me how to add pixs to the blog and I'll do that.
    Well we are off shortly to have dinner out with Klye and Linda, it's their 18 anniversary.
    Hope they get your car replaced soon and Jessie gets one of her own...too big or not, if it's reliable...thats all that should count till they buy their own.
    Take care...
    Love Kath
