Cajun it Up!

We’re here!  I have a few moments on a hotel computer so thought I would send a little update.  We made it to New Orleans yesterday afternoon (Sunday) around 2 pm.  Before we could check in, we went and walked a couple of hours around the Riverwalk and Bourbon Street.  None of my seniors have [...]

Saying Goodbye

I’ll be heading out in a few hours for our senior trip.  Final quick post before I go.  My post from last night/early morning needs to be updated.  It does appear that I have a virus and it took over my laptop this morning.  I have some connections that are going to take a look [...]

Life Transitions

What a crazy, busy week it has been and will be.  Good but incredibly busy.  There are so many big project things on the plate right now as we head into summer months so I’m a little under the gun.  But I know it will all work out and things will fall into place.
Tonight I [...]

Wide Awake

Since sleep is not coming tonight, I’m up and at it again.  You’d think I’d be tired.  Let’s see . . . 4 hours of sleep Wednesday night; 8 last night….  I guess I’m due for a shorter night again.  I just finished off the last of some chocolate chip cookie dough; Duke Ellington is [...]

Senior Dinner

Tonight was our fancy-smancy senior dinner.  Each year, a couple in our church and a team of helpers provide a five-course, elegant dinner for our graduating seniors.  Tonight was our feast night and it was a beautiful and delicious night.  The seniors are always so amazed with the whole process.  I don’t think they have [...]
