When I'm 64

So much family time! Dunlap family time, Hinds family time... I'm familied out. Today is Memorial Day. It's also Dad's 64th birthday.

We kept it small this time around. It was just the four residents of the house in Richardson, and I came with my fella. Mom made food; I made drinks. 

It rained again today. Of course. And this moment from Forrest Gump came up: 

Sounds pretty accurate. We're having near perpetual flood warnings lately, and local bodies of water are nearing overflow. 

I have nine days of school left this year, and I just updated my website for the second-to-last time this year. I know the students are ready for summer, but I doubt they know how much their teachers are eagerly anticipating the break. 

It's definitely time. My theory is that summers are vacation from school so the teachers have time to miss the kids. In August, we like them and miss them and such. In May, we need to take some time apart. 

Target date: June 5. That's when they become somebody else's responsibility for a few months- and not a moment too soon. Almost there.
