No, I've not fallen off the face of the earth....


...but I am in the home stretch to the end of the school year.  16 more "kid days" left!   Wooo hooo!  Things have been hectic and I'm having a retirement dinner at my house for a coworker this coming Saturday.   

 

We like to give little gifts to retirees so I snuck around behind Mary's back and called her DH about what she might like.  According to her husband, Mary would like to play softball in retirement!

 So....  I went online and found these gifts for her...



Hard to see, I know...  I'm such a lousy photographer!   The cap reads "Peace Love Softball"...  the mug reads "Don't let the cuteness fool you... I play softball!"   I think you can read the shirt okay...


Someday soon, I'll have time to sew again...

    Cute! I imagine the end of the school year is very hectic. I know you will be glad when the kids are on summer vacation.

    Very clever gifts for a wannabe softball player.
    Glad to know you are still with us--the edge of the earth can come upon you quite suddenly!

    I've missed you! I am not even involved with a school or school kids, but I can't wait until May is over, either. See you soon!

    When my sis retired I made her a clock that had words instead of numbers on it. Words like Dream, Nap, Sew, and Whatever. She loved it.
    Love the softball gifts, especially the shirt. You did good!
    Hugs

      Your clock idea is the greatest. I'm going to have to remember that for a gift for someone...
