A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Here it is, hump day already, gonna be a short week.
Coffee is dripping and the toasters out for toast. Enjoy.
I'm so looking forward to telling my kids I'll be there to take
them home, they will be very happy. The other driver followed
me on my other run yesterday afternoon so she could see where
the stops were and then during lunch she'll drive it in her bus and
I'll ride along to make sure she turns where she is suppose to. There
is only one little one on that run she will have to look out for, all the
rest are 4th and 5th graders. She will do fine and theres only about
45 kids, and the majority (37) get off at the first stop. Told those
kids goodbye and to be good for the new driver. I get so wrapped
up in my job and my duties it still amazes me to this day how we
can form attachments to things like that.
Well, its time to pour myself another cup and have some toast
now, have a great day and be safe.

Good Morning, All!!!

Looks like rain here today....but that's okay....I plan to do inside stuff anyway....

Thanks for the coffee and toast, Ava....Have fun with the kids....

Okay, not much to offer here right now, so I'll get back to my cross-stitching....

Have a great day, all...........

Ava, you sound like the kind of bus driver we all wanted for our our children when they rode buses....a professional that had pride in doing a good job and a caring adult that took time to see them as individuals and let them know that they mattered to them ans did their best to keep them safe

I agree with Tina, Ava. You sound like a wonder, safe, caring driver!
From first grade until I was in high school, my oldest brother was my bus driver. I think he was harder on us brothers and sisters than the other kids. We couldn't eat on the bus and he turned me in for sucking on a cinnamon flavored toothpick!
Another cooler day, in the 70s, chance of a shower. Very Fall-like. Yesterday as I walked Choco I heard the sounds of leaves skittering down the street.
Today I take said Choco, in to get his nails trimmed. They grow so fast and it's hard to keep them short as the quick is growing out more also. I had the vet cut them on my last visit and she was amazed at his nails! I've have to have them trimmed every 2-3 wks. to keep on it.
Saturday I'm having a mini GTG with a gal from another forum. She wants to see Little Missy and I'm proud to show her off only I have to do it as soon as she gets here are my SIL is borrowing Little Missy for him and my 2 GDs to sleep in after a surprise birthday party at their friends. I guess there are going to be at least 6 other rigs there.
Also today I'm off to Target to pick up some of the last items for the rig.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all. I've been to hairdresser for haircut and to the grocery store so far today. Wish it wasn't so hot and humid outside....I need to do some trimming in the backyard jungle and pressure wash the house. Can't breathe in this weather so it will have to wait.

Ava, bus drivers are usually the first school personel that kids see in the morning and how they are treated on the bus will often make or break the day for them at school. I know all the teachers appreciate bus drivers like you who care enough to "get wrapped up" in their lives and help them start their day in a positive way.

Bluepinecones, glad to hear your niece is doing better, and that your sister will be occupied in her care. I have that situation in my prayers. You have been a great help to her at this difficult time, but I realize how stressful it is for you too.

Wishing everyone a happy, carefree day.

So I had to ask, what's a crupper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crupper
Maybe I don't want mine up. Good afternoon, anyway. Sure enjoy this site.
Such fine folks.

LOLOL!!!

Here's a placque with a poem and a real horse's crupper that a friend of mine made for me years ago. It is one of my treasures, and it's at my leanto by my pond. He and I invented a toast one night, (CRUPPERS UP!) after we learned that the part of a horse's harness that goes under its tail and holds it up away from its poop hole is called a crupper! (Used in parades, very often, to make a nicely arched, clean tail!)

He is long dead, and I miss him, but I still toast him very often with a hearty CRUPPERS UP!!
