I snapped this picture, and shared it with the Mister, knowing exactly what would happen.  Roughly, 2 hours later, I had my very own, IKEA inspired teacher storage desk for Room 450.  Thanks, AP for your timely project completion, and helping me create a space to store all my hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes.

 

Alright, kids.  Let's do this.  School is going to start some how, some way.  We may not be sure exactly what it will look like, yet.  But we can be sure of one thing.  WE NEED TO STOCK UP ON TICONDEROGA PENCILS!!!  (aside note:  There is a difference in pencils.  Teachers are not being picky when they request this specific brand.  And, while I don't get paid to endorse this company, I whole heartedly will shout their praises from any mountain top.  Do the right thing.  Buy the pencils.)

 

Ok.  It's time.  I can no longer bury my head in games of cribbage, wood fire pizzas, reading in lawn chairs and early happy hour.  Riverview Intermediate - I'm coming for you.  Whatever this year may bring, I'm ready - or I'm pretending like I am - either way, it looks the same.

 

Last year's Rainy Lake camping adventure was such a success, that we immediately booked a return trip.  And this year was even better, thanks to the perfect weather and giant pontoon.  I will never camp with amateurs, but I will always camp with these Prose.

We will be back next year, Rainy.  That's a pinky promise.

 

Thanks for the red sky tonight, Grandpa.  Happy happy birthday. 💙

 

 GP: Thanks for marrying me. 💙

AP: Thanks for staying married to me. 🤣

Cheers to 15 years, Mr. Prose. Only for you will I sleep in a ⛺.

AP: Hey, do you think your dad would let us borrow the pontoon for our Rainy Lake camping adventure?

Me: I'm pretty sure he would.

Me:  Hey, Dad, think we could borrow the pontoon for camping?

Dad: Sure!  You can have it any day, for as long as you want! Do you want me to bring it to you?  Do you want to meet somewhere?  Here's 2 spare tires, just in case.  And, an extra set of keys.  Its clean, and whatever you do, don't fill it up with gas when you are done.

Me:  Thanks, Dad.  We will stop for ice cream and be right up! 

We will really be able to social distance with this yacht!
