Say goodbye to a good car
We have lost our VW Jetta. Kayleigh got into a car accident on Sunday, and the insurance totaled it today. It was a good car with a lot of good use still in it. I am not happy about this situation. It is difficult to have teenage drivers in the family. This is a difficult [...]
Pretty Drought-Tolerant Tulips
These are pretty drought-tolerant tulips in my front yard. Notice that the leaves are also very pretty. I am so happy it is springtime and that my flowers are beginning to bloom. Now I just hope it stays warm like today and stops snowing like earlier in the week.
Another cold, snowy day on Tuesday

Kayleigh’s fancy ball gown
Kayleigh went to a fancy high school dance on Saturday. She has been preparing for a month, including renting a beautiful dress (and hooped slip). She was so pretty, and she had lots of safe fun.

Ray guest lectured in a class I am taking
I am taking a teamwork class this semester from Ray’s graduate advisor. My professor is wonderful, and he helped Ray to finish his Master’s degree. Ray is asked every semester to guest lecture in this Teamwork class. He did a really good job talking about how different types of technology have different value levels for [...]
