Hot Florida Days and Warm Nights

Rhonda and I have so enjoyed our time here in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  We have been able to catch up with family members old and new friends.  We so enjoyed visiting with my cousin Bruce.  Bruce and I were room mates in college and a lot of time was spent laughing and remembering.  Bruce and his partner Carlos were such good hosts and we love them dearly. 
We also were able to have lunch with Rhonda's cousin Terry who runs Bike America here.  We had a great time catching up and boy did I learn some history about the Poore family.  Terry's wife is from Columbia and she was home with her dad who is suffering with cancer. We look forward to meeting her in the future.
The days have been really nice but today got pretty hot.  We have enjoyed a great time of eating in great restaurants, visiting with family and friends, attending a Broadway Production of "Mama Mia" and in general getting some down time from school.  We will leave on Friday and head back to Oklahoma City where I will report for school on July 27th with classes beginning on August 1st. I am so looking forward to teaching and beging out of the rat race of the superintendency again.  I can now afford it since I retired in Texas and will be drawing my retirement there and working in Oklahoma as a teacher.  Life is good and we plan on it getting better.

Hugs and love,
Danny and Rhonda Cochran

New Adventures in the Cochran family....

Danny has resigned as superintendent in Darrouzett and accepted a job in Oklahoma City Public Schools.  He starts school on August 1st but teachers actually report July 27th.  Time is swiftly approaching that date.  Danny has rented an apartment in OKC and we have our house on the market.

We are in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on vacation.  We will get back to OKC on July 25th just in time for Danny to go to work.

It is amazing how quickly the summer goes.  We look forward to the new events in our life and will try to keep you posted more frequently.
