The baby robins on the support beam for our deck will be leaving the nest soon. They have grown so much and are beginning to flap their wings.
Final Concert
We went to John’s final concert of Junior year this evening.
All the bands sounded great!
It is hard to believe that we are so close to another year of lasts.
Mother’s Day
This is how Momma Kassel does Mother’s Day. I dug in and helped my returning college student unpack.
It was a long few hours of cleaning, but we got a lot done. We cleaned out her entire closet, staged a box to pack for storage, cleaned out clothes she no longer wears from her dresser, cleaned every shelf, built a pile of clothes for donation, built a pile of things to store from her childhood, built a pile of things to sell, and threw out a full garbage bag of junk and trash. Even though our upstairs landing and guest bedroom are full of more things to put away, I spent the day doing what I love most – just being a mom.
Now, it is time for some relaxation, wine…
…and dinner with my family.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Campout
My Scouts are off enjoying a weekend at Camp Hohn.
John is finishing up the cooking portion of the Camping merit badge. He needed to make a snack, dinner, and a dessert.
They had a beautiful weekend for camping!
Scholarships
Laura received a letter in the mail today from the Boone Electric Community Trust. She was selected for one of the at-large scholarships for returning college students. She will receive $2,000 for next year!
Also, she received notice last week that she received a National Eagle Scout Association scholarship for another $6,000.
Congratulations, Kid! We are so proud of you!
Year One Complete!
Andy drove to Cape Girardeau to pick up Laura today. They finished packing and emptied her dormitory room.
They loaded the car and drove home.
Then, we all helped to unload the car.
Our girl is home. Year one at Southeast Missouri State University is complete. SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER!
Makes It Better
It may have been one of my worst days at work on record, but this makes it better – a happy son and his beautiful girlfriend.
