The Kassel Family Project Life 365

I am sure that Jim says to himself every night, “Thank you for bringing water to your bedroom, so I do not have to go downstairs!” In reality, that is my water…

The baby of the family had made his college decision.

John will be attending Southeast Missouri State University where he will study pre-veterinary medicine with an emphasis in veterinary technology.

Go Redhawks!

In honor of the Western Illinois University Women’s Basketball team making the NCAA tournament, it is “Leatherneck Love” Lavender Lemon soap! Of course, it could also be “Kewpie Love” for you Hickman High School alumni. Go Leathernecks!

And, for extra fun, I made a Lavender Creamsicle Sugar Scrub.

Who knew that melt and pour soap could get me started on making all these fun, different things? I love it, and I always feel so much more relaxed when I get creative.

Three more bags of clothes have been removed from my closet. There is no gaining weight back now as I have no larger clothes left.

John had a busy day at what is probably his last Troop 706 campout. He helped chop wood for the fire.

He made his trail meal for the Cooking merit badge, and it should come as no surprise to anyone that he chose a Macaroni and Cheese recipe.

He wrapped up the night leading the Campfire program for the Communication merit badge.

He has six merit badges to finish, but he is nearly done with three of them. It is a race to the finish to earn the Eagle rank.

I guess Jim is going camping too…

I think it is amazing that Laura and her best friends from high school always try to get together when all four are in town. Tonight, they enjoyed dinner together and then played some Dungeons & Dragons.
