June 12th 3:30 a.m.

It has been a week of adjusting to not getting up at 4:30 in the morning--- a week of resting, working in my garden, going back up to school to re hang the screens that were falling down, check the security of the tennis area, visit my dear friend, Sara Williamson at the library--made a dentist appointment-- got a massage-- bought more used books at Half Priced Books--got rocks for my ex dog's grave by the back patio---watered my garden, picked tomato's, exercised in my gazebo that my husband put up for my Birthday----shopped at Big Lots--- helped daughter with three girls when she was sick----visited my neighbor--Mr. Hudson. Mrs. Carol Hudson died a week before the retirement banquet-- Lupas and double pneumonia-- she was such a kind and gentle lady who gave us donations of food and drinks for the tennis players--- we gave her and her husband a Helping Hands Award in 2010.

Our dear daughter in law, Kelly Hrncir, flew in from Maryland Thursday. We are enjoying her while we have her--- always busy-- those young folks.

Next week is the beginning of six weeks of swimming classes at Klein High School. This is my 17th year and I am booked well in advance-- packed-- no walk ins. My high school friend Marg. will run the front desk & help everything run smoothly. Can't let her in the pool--- she is always in demand-----we both wear hearing aids------she always clues me in when I am in the pool.
We have always had a good program.

Also,Davis Cup adventures are around the bend-- July 8th, 9th and 10th-- Austin Texas--- USA VS SPAIN. We are thankful that the Wayne Bryan Family is providing us tickets and hotel reservations. North Forest will provide us transportion and meal money if at all possible.

THIS IS MY LAST BIG ADVENTURE AS HEAD COACH--- I AM THRILLED.

AD for Klein was very positive about the minor changes to my swimming schedule due to use leaving July 8th-- Blessed to have great folks in my life.

Guess I'll try to go back to sleep till church time.
I am blessed.

REMEMBER A SLOGAN THAT COACH LANG GAVE ME: IT'S NOT WHERE YOU GO IN LIFE, IT'S WHO YOU HAVE BESIDE YOU THAT MATTERS.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING

COACH LORETTA ANN HRNCIR

The following was a face book-- from my husband and my high school doubles tennis friend, Rita Maldonado Hanson-- semi retired--counselor from Austin ISD

FINAL COUNTDOWN: FOR LORETTA ANN BLALOCK HRNCIR If you have given 40 years of your life to over 10,000 students,inspired and motivated them, fed, clothed, transported, furnished homes, and taken into your OWN home those in need, prevented arrests and suicides, and treated all as your own family, YOU ARE ready to retire from teaching! ( Husband Robert)

Rita added: If you have found volunteers and mentors to assist your program, written and received grants to supplement a non existence budget for your program, recruited professional sponsors-- Wayne Bryan Family-- traveled all over the United States and Europe to attend Davis Cups, always with students in tow, advocated for students with disabilities and kept the motivational climate up on your campus, you have EARNED RETIREMENT!
