Blessed

I had an amazing vacation!
And I'll blog about it one of these days soon.

But first...

I had to teach down in Boynton Beach this past weekend.

But because of vacation, we did a "split" class.
(Weekend 1 was before vacation,
weekend 2 was after... with a break in the middle)

That's certainly not ideal.

So all my "serious" students finished up on the off weekend
at another class.

Saturday I only had 4 students left.
But one of them had to leave early.
(His company called - major snafu - had to go back to work.)

And then there were 3.

One told me his son was starting college on Monday
so and his wife were taking him to his new dorm on Sunday
but he would be back in time to take the final exam.

And then there were 2.

The 2 that were left were "back row" students.
Nice kids.

But they didn't show up on Sunday morning.

And then there were none.

I hung around until 10, just in case,
and then cancelled the class.
(Let the Dad know, so he didn't rush back for nothing)

Drove home and enjoyed the rest of the day
with Rod and Kyle.
Then Jim and Sabrina called and invited us to dinner
at their place.
Chicken, green beans and cheesey taters.
YUM!

This morning, I got up, fed the animals, got ready and jumped in my truck.
It was Dead.
Not dead.
DEAD.

My giant diesel has two batteries under the hood.
It takes a lot to start that baby.

They were BOTH dead.
DEAD.

It could have happened at the airport in Orlando
in the middle of the night.
It could have happened in Boynton Beach over the weekend.
It could have happened at my office on the other side of town.

But instead it happened in my driveway.
Next to a spare truck.
With two capable mechanics sleeping inside the house.

I am SO BLESSED!
