The Kassel Family Project Life 365

My home office is complete as everything is now back in place. The new sofa bed really stands out now.

This is my desk area.

This is looking at the closet door and window area.

What I love most is that everything pops now – especially these paintings from the kids.

I love the blue so much. My office is complete!

Andy did all the trim work and edging.

I did all the rolling.

By the end of the day, the painter’s tape had been removed, all the outlet and light switch covers had been put back, and the furniture was in place.

Tomorrow, I will rehang everything and my home office will be complete!

I spent part of the evening taking down all the pictures and then taping the trim and doors in my home office. We paint tomorrow!

We attended the closing for Camp Redhawk and discovered that John’s “nest” placed first in the competition.

John said that Camp Redhawk “wasn’t bad”, and he was more excited about attending SEMO in the fall. That is really all we can ask! After picking up John, we then went to Jack’s house to join his family for a tasty lunch. After that, we left for home with a very tired John in tow. It did not take him long to fall asleep though I was not expecting to find him sleeping like this.

I will call our short vacation a success!

Andy and I went to the Bollinger Mill State Historic Site today to check it out.

It was a working mill that began operations in 1867. It was neat to tour the facility and learn about the different iterations of business. We also got to meet the mill cat named, “Flour.”

We also got to see one of only three remaining covered wooden bridges left in Missouri.

We were only there for about 90 minutes, but it was fun to see a small part of Missouri history.

While John attended Camp Redhawk, which included both a trip to the SEMO Bookstore…

…and a trip to the downtown area,…

…Laura spent the day with Jack.

Since both kids were occupied, Andy and I took the opportunity to visit River Ridge Winery.

We also went to Cape Rock, and enjoyed the beautiful views.

We had dinner at Top of the Marq, a great restaurant with sharing plates and fantastic views.

We wrapped up the day at one of the local bars for a tasty drink and a walk along the riverfront.

It was a fun, relaxing day, and the weather could not have been more perfect.
