The weather semi-cooperated on Saturday for Hubby's Dragon Boat Festival. Rain on Thursday made for less than ideal water quality in Brush Creek on the Plaza and the race had to be rescheduled for next Saturday. Third time's a charm! Saturday was the reschedule date from the original date in June. But the festival part went off without a hitch! 
There was a great turn-out, good food, and fantastic entertainment. It was terribly hot and humid, which made for good water sales! But, I think the children's part of the entertainment was my favorite. So precious! Sister and the two nieces volunteered and we so appreciate it. It takes many volunteers to pull it all together.
Hubby has worked hard putting the festival together. He has put his heart and soul into it, with proceeds going to victims of the earthquake that devastated China back in May.
I attended the MACE (Mid-America Association for Computers in Education) Conference on Thursday and Friday. Missouri's Teacher of the Year, Eric Langhorst, was the keynote speaker and is quite inspiring. Students who pass through his 8th grade history class have been truly blessed. What an amazing credit to the profession! It was good to spend the two days with teachers doing so many amazing things in their classrooms.
Not much on the schedule this week. Help one of the nieces prepare for a math test, work on plans for school, and make a couple of trips to the gym. Oh yeah, and stay cool.
