John went to see Ari perform at her horse show today in Lake St. Louis. She did not place as highly as she would have liked, but it was still a good show.
Sunset
The sunset is always beautiful at Cooper’s Landing.
Internship
Laura started her internship at MU’s Raptor Rehabilitation Project this week. She will be working 2-3 times per week. Summer has begun!
Baby Robins
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!
