Fifth Grade Wax Musuem

Blythe did an excellent presentation on Gloria Steinem. 

A real job

Oh my goodness.  Taye is working and has the cutest apartment.  He's 30 mins from work, but right next door to a hospital where Tyrone does a lot of call.  That way Tyrone has a place to chill that is not the hospital.  Tyrone helped with deposit and furniture and first 2 months rent.  Taye pays from here on out. It's in a stunning new building, in the downtown of a small town, and right next door to a brand new YMCA.  He can walk across the courtyard to workout.   We all met for dinner one night to see his new place.   So much fun all hanging out and talking and eating.  Amazing sunshine.  And I loved seeing every ounce of wall art that used to be in my house. Same way I've been gathering stuff from my mom's house over the years.  Called Derick too and gave him a tour and let him "hang out" with us.  So many things from Grandpa Ripple too.   Nightstands, pencil holder, bowls, carved owl, bench, chess coffee...

Weekend Party

 The Foster girls basketball team made it to the first round of the Division III NCAA championships so Blythe and I made plans to go see them play in Pennsylvania.  Super close game and they lost in the last 30 seconds by 2 points.  Stayed at Courtney's overnight and then up the next day for a hike up Mt. Tammany Met Fosters for lunch.  Big kids went to water park for the afternoon.  Grownups went to watch Tobias play drums in the orchestra.  Of course a serious games of Nertz.  And then a few tears when I read a few of Matt's parents love letters to each other. 

End of an era

  Took the carpool kids to ice-cream one day after school.  Elementary school graduation is coming up fast.  Little brother John was spotlighted for his successful company. More flowers from Mark. Final high school swim banquet. What a fun run that was. End of another basketball season at the Y.
