June in Georgia

Hi Everyone - I hope I am writing to everyone but lately it seems Andy and I are having a dialogue. Where is everyone else? Andy, it sounds like your summer is going to be very busy editing two books. I admire you for doing something so intellectual. What are the titles of the books? I certainly wish Kristina well caring for her mother. My Mom is now 88 and doing very well considering her age. Her memory is definitely going and she can't hear anything which causes for much confusion. Aging is definitely a challenge!
I'm glad to hear that you are registering to vote. This year has certainly been an exciting election season. I too would like to see Edwards on the Obama ticket. I have no idea who it will end up being. Ron's primary is on July 15 and his campaign is in full swing. He has already had 2 debates and I believe there are 4 more scheduled. With 3 candidates in the primary, no one will win and there will most certainly be a run-off. We are just hoping now that he makes it to the run-off. We are going to participate in a local 4th of July parade. The cars in the parade are supposed to be convertibles, but Ron received special permission for my Smartcar to be in it. I always run in the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th (it is an Atlanta tradition and the world's largest 10K with 55,000 runners). This year I will run the Peachtree and then try to make it back across town to walk with Ron and the Smartcar in the parade. I just hope I can make it to the parade in time.
At the end of school, I was elected Teacher of the Year for my school for 2008-2009. Of course Milford is a very small school, but I was grateful to my colleagues for giving me this honor. My only other news is that Ron's daughter, Erica is expecting a baby so I guess I will become a grandmother in September. I don't like the name "grandmother". I've got to come up with another name for myself. Any suggestions?

Everyone, take care! Lois
