Howdy!!!

Just a note to let you know what is happening in sunny and hot North Carolina....Nothing. Just kidding! Pam and Alysse will be returning on July 6th from their 3 week vacation in Germany, Poland, and Paris France. It was a trip they were looking forward to and I stayed home to scoop cat poop. The sacrifices we make. They are having a great time and it was a well deserved vacation as both Pam and Alysse worked very hard during the past school year. Pam does more than she should and took work home with every night. She is a very diligent Director/Prinicipal and I am very proud of her success. Alysse is the stellar student finishing her freshman year ranked 7th out of roughly 200. Yeah, I may be bragging a bit on both of them as I am proud of both their accomplishments. Thank goodness Alysse has Pam's smarts!!! I on the other hand contine to golf and make some cash on the weekends and still work part time at night as a host for Logan's Roadhouse. It is kind of like a Applebee's or Ruby Tuesaday regarding the food offered but they have peanuts (like the old Ground Round in Wisconsin) were you can eat them and throw them on the floor. Great atmosphere and they pay me a stupid amount to work four nights a week. I am getting use to this thing called retirement! I will be heading back to the land of Cheese (WI) on July 7th with arriving at the folks on the 9th. Looking forward to seeing all I can as this is my yearly trek back home. I will be passing the cat scooper to Pam and Alysse so they will not be coming back with me. They are looking forward to coming home and relaxing. That is the price you pay for having pets unfortunately. I will be in the land of Cheese for roughly 2 weeks as I need to get back before Alysse starts tennis with the High School this fall. She should be the number 2 or 3 seed on the Varsity this year. Being gone this summer, she will have to practice a bit before official practive starts just so she can knock some of the rust off. She will be fine. Pam will slowly get ready for the fall school year, as she will be heading back to work a day or two a week before the school year kicks in. Can not think of alot of anything else pertinent from down here. Hope to get a chance to see all of the Wisconsinites as I can, but I know how schedules are tough. I would like to wish everyone a Happy and safe 4th of July and remember our servicemembers both active and retired (includes the Guard and Reservists) during this time and have them all in your prayers. God Bless!!
Bill, Pam and Alysse
