How did this Teacher Spend the Start to Summer Vacation ~And then...a Package to Lift my Spirits ~~Thank you, Pam

It was last last contract day of the school year.

Hubby thought we should celebrate at our favorite neighborhood restaurant.

We often share a Burger and each get our own side.

This one is topped with cheese, bacon, and a fried egg.

Hubby orders the Hash Browns,

and I love the Steamed Broccoli.

Sadly, there was more work to do in my classroom...

textbook inventories,

fine lists,

packing,

grades,

and the budget.

So my first day of vacation was spent working at school.

And I wasn't the only one...

Full office staff and plenty of teachers.

I am happy to announce that I turned out the lights 

and closed the door on this classroom.

Perhaps just one more morning and I can finish what I need to do

 in the Foods Classroom and in the Teacher Planning Center.

So, I did not end the school year with that 

giddy excited feeling that I have so many years before.

When I pulled into our driveway, this was the pick me up that I needed.

A few days ago, I learned I was the winner of

a GoPro Camera, and coupons for Purina ProPlan

Cat Food for Callie and Lucy.

Thank you so much, dear blog friend, Pam.

As soon as I get an SDcard and chance to experiment,

I'll be back to show you photos and videos.

Happy Summer!

Take care,
