The Kassel Family Project Life 365

I went for dinner and drinks with Amanda at Shakespeare’s Pizza. It was nice to have a night off!

It is time to begin the 2024 Shutterfly calendar! Just maybe, I will get it to the grandparents on time this year…

I spent part of the day sorting Legos by the different colors. We need to put together the different sets that we have, so we can begin selling the different sets. I have to get the sorting done by Thursday because it is time to prep the guest bedroom for Thanksgiving!

Laura was selected to play in the Honorable Mention All-District Band.

While she did not particularly enjoy the conductor for their group, the band still sounded good. I am proud of her for auditioning because she typically has a very difficult time with auditions. Congratulations Laura!

Laura got another college acceptance letter today from Wichita State University.

She has also been accepted to Southeast Missouri State University…

…and the University of Missouri.

We are just waiting on Purdue and Colorado State.

I have to say though… Wichita State wins the award for the best notification letter. It is simply awesome. The rest of these universities need to step up their game!

Congrats, Kiddo! Your Dad and I are so proud of you!

We stopped at Robbler Vineyards in New Haven on our way home. This is our favorite Missouri winery. We enjoyed a great bottle of wine and a snack lunch.

We stopped at a couple of other places in Hermann and then went home. We arrived back in Columbia just in time to pick up Laura from school. It is time to unpack and get back to normal life.

We explored more of Ste. Genevieve today. There is so much history here! So many buildings date to the 1700s.

After lunch, we went to Charleville Brewery and Winery. It was a beautiful place to spend a gorgeous afternoon.

We wrapped up the evening with dinner at the Anvil Saloon and Restaurant and then a bottle of wine at our house.

It was a great day spending time with my love.
