<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I hope you all had a wonderful, long Memorial Weekend. I enjoyed my
time off. Did several outdoor things I'd been meaning to do, including
planting some cantaloupe plants. We've been having some terrific
cantaloupe on our salad bar lately here in the Cafeteria and it's given
me a craving, so I decided to see if I could find some plants and grow
my own. There just happened to be a few plants left at Roy's (along
with some big, juicy cantaloupes to buy and eat while you're waiting on
yours to grow). I bought a 4-pak and planted them, so we'll see what
happens. (I've read this gardener's tip that you can suspend your
growing cantaloupes in pantyhose to help support them and keep them off
the dirt. When I was younger we actually had to <u>wear</u> the
pantyhose!) My tomato plants are doing pretty well, and my husband's
squash and cucumbers are beginning to take off also. We might make
gardeners yet. If we're still feeling this good about it by the end of
the gardening season, we may plant even more next year. We are just
kind of dabbling in it this year, but with the price of groceries, gas,
etc., it feels pretty good to be able to supply some of your own
groceries.<br>

Very <b>Happy Birthday</b> wishes go out to Physical Education
instructor <b>Loma Messex</b>, who celebrated her big day yesterday.
I hope she had a great birthday and has a great summer, out picking
blackberries and living the good life.<br>

Well, we survived the first wave of Gear Up camps this summer, and are
now waiting on the arrival of our Upward Bound campers and the second
Gear Up group. That's when it will really get busy around here! <br>
<br>
Mildred and Susie wanted me to let everyone know that we will be having
breakfast items in the Cyber Cafe if you get hungry and miss the
regular breakfast schedule.<br>

I believe today is the start of the Business Office and other offices
in the Library Building moving to their temporary location in Choctaw
Hall so that their old offices can be remodeled. This is going to be a
confusing process. I'm such a creature of habit that I'm liable to be
all the way over to the Library building before I realize they "don't
live there anymore", at least for a few months. This is just one of
the first steps in some wonderful renovations to take place on our
campus in the near future, so please be patient with any inconvenience
it causes. It will definitely be worth it in the long run!<br>
<br>

Smoked sausage with roasted peppers, onions and potatoes<br>
Baked beans<br>
