Lamenting the woes of her difficult kitchen life.
Andrew accompanied the Reagens to Luke’s college graduation party in Lawrence. Congrats, Luke!
We received word late tonight that the Northern Lights were visible in Des Moines. The whole family quickly hit the road and drove to a golf course outside of town. We’ve done this before and failed. Tonight was a major success. The pictures are way more amazing than the live experience, but the live experience was still very cool.
Lucia played clarinet in the band this year. It is Nate’s clarinet from the 80’s and Ian played it as well in high school.
This past year Lucia and Rose attended HopeKids Sunday school at our church. They thought it was OK and probably better than going to church every Sunday. Susan and I volunteered once per month as leaders.
There was an eclipse. We couldn’t travel because of some obligations in town, but we made the most of it. Cracker Barrel came through with some last-minute glasses and we pulled the girls out of school. It was fun.
