I have a hard time always thinking of titles for my posts.
Does it have to have a subject title?
I think no. It's my thoughts and such.
SO I'm thinking to give days of the week as titles.
I had a interesting trip to San Fran.
Delayed flight, cold weather and all work.
I have much appreciation for the East Coast.
The book The Last Lecture...
Great book.
I gave it to my best bud Dawn on Friday.
The author died on Friday.
I found out about his death last night from Dawn.
She was watching TV and saw on Prime time a special.
Doug recorded it.
I watched it with Drew after we arrived home.
And in following his advise by "Always Tell The Truth"
We were so sad.
We remember our friend Mimi.
We miss her.
The count down is on and we are leaving in 6 sleeps for the DR.
School supplies and lots of other things to accomplish before we jet.
I will keep you posted.
Have a great day,
Missy

BIRTHDAY
Today is my birthday....YEAH!!! I have lots planned.....Housework, paperwork and a few errands.
Mariah is very excited about my birthday and has asked for many days leading up to today how many days, what we are going to do and who were going to invite to the party. Just for the record we are NOT having a party.
The fam really wants to know what I want for my birthday and I honestly have no desire for anything of material gift.
I would love a few acts of service such as a maid in NC, a lawn helper, a house painter. Yes I could add to this list but enough daydreaming for now.
I am so blessed with a great family and super friends and this is truly a happy day for me.

Camps and Summer Stuff
We are almost finished with our summer camps. Drew enjoyed Duke, UNC and the Hill Center while Mariah attended Camp Riverlea.
Mariah attended camp for 2 weeks and I had to take her every morning due to the fact that she did not want to get on the bus much less go to camp. I found it to be a battle every single morning until today and she was celebrating that it was the next to last day. I struggle with this child and question how much I should push or not. I drove out to camp this afternoon to pick her up and she was having a blast so I am pleased I stuck to my guns with the Daffron motto that we finish what we start.....
I have been spending lots of time reading this summer and have enjoy lots of great books but have missed physical activity I need to_________ ?????Just get off my butt and move. I have a birthday coming on Monday and plan to do something physical starting then and keep it up as a regular routine. On a side note does it count that I have been cleaning and keeping up with the laundry and have had zero maid service since arriving in the states. Lets say yes.
We are having a yard sale on Saturday and I hope to unload a lot of crap, I also want to not bring the crap back inside my garage or house so I think the idea would be to price it so that we sale it.
The time is going so quickly and we will be leaving for the DR soon like AUG5. I have so mixed feelings and thoughts but really want to make the best of the next year. I am committing to take Spanish class, join a gym or walk the hills of our neighborhood and do some community service with the kids. I also want to blog more and really post lots more often.
Doug has been away this week and will return home late tonight so I am going to finish some house stuff. Happy thoughts to all!!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA****
Happy belated 4th, we finally got to use half of our fireworks. Doug and lots of kids have had a blast seeing the works and hearing the noise, I honestly love to go to a professional show but can't express in this blog my hate for doing fireworks the "redneck" way. I hope I don't offend anyone but I can only think of one loyal friend that reads my blog and she loves me no matter what :}
I try not to watch or help out because I get very nervous and feel very uncomfortable. So whats the big deal other than potential burn, or serious injury. Go figure.
We have had some really great storms on our summer break and we are so enjoying the Durham, Chapel Hill area.
I have a Mariah funny. We are over at a friends house and she is breast feeding her baby girl and Mariah is asking me lots of questions about her birth and life and I am trying to answer honestly and at an appropriate amount for her in this point of her life. Mariah gets up and walks over and comes back and say "Missy" she is sucking lots of stuff out of L's boo be we may have to go to the grocery and get her a refill for her boo be to funny maybe you had to be there.
I so love my kids.

??JUNE??
Where did June go? I must say alot happened in June so let me get started.
Blackpool was a great success. We have sold our house in the Dominican Republic. We moved all of our stuff into a storage unit in a whirlwind event.
The kids finished school on June 13. The report cards were great and the Spanish is really coming along.
We arrived in Durham on Monday June 16. The summer in Durham will go by fast for us. Drew and his friend Omar have finished 2 weeks of basketball camp 1 week at UNC and 1 week at Duke. Drew plans to blog about the difference and his thoughts about the 2 camps.
We will spend another year in Dominican Republic and have found a great house with more than 1 toilet YEAH!!! I have mixed feelings about another year but am certain that this is the best for the kids and plan to make the most of it. Lots of folks keep asking me what I am doing and I have am mostly hanging out still trying to figure things out.
Mariah is looking forward to her camp for the next 2 weeks. Drew has a academic camp next week and then plans to do some traveling. We will be heading back to the DR Aug 5 and back to school at the end of Aug.
More to post soon.
