In my memory, I will always see a town that I have loved so well

When times got tough, there was just about enough, but we saw it through without complaining.
That's not true; we complained plenty. But click here anyway for the rest of the Phil Coulter song.

Vaya con Dios, my pals and housemates


Ms. Rose, I'll miss you so.


Rock on, Ms. Hogan!


See you in New York, Mrs. Andrake?


Say it ain't so, Mr. G!



You've been a great boss, Boss!


XO, Ms. Kristin. Muah!


You're the best, Ms. Cindy.


Thanks for everything, Ms. Grace.




School's out for summer


Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces



Picnic at Mundo Lake on the last day of school.




Rockets












Our big kids spent a few days at the New Mexico Museum of Space History. They built model rockets and launched them for us on the last day of school. The device above is used for measuring rocket trajectory.



Izzy's New Mexico birthday


My grandson, Kainoa Robert Francis Waikiki (sometimes known as Izzy), brought his mom and sister to Lumberton for his fourth birthday. He got to practice being a 4th-grader for a while, and celebrated his big day with a picnic, birthday cake, and piƱata at Coach's house.
