English Class Follow-up

Zachary asked me if I remembered how hard he worked on his last sentences/paper for English class. I responded that yes I did remember. I mean, how could I forget?!They won't let me forget! Then he showed me his grade that he just received. I was prepared for another C. But to my surprise, he had a perfect score with a note from the teacher asking if she could use his for a future example. I did notice a couple mistakes that the teacher missed but apparently she wasn't taking off for those kind of mistakes anyway. Nate got an almost perfect score on his but wouldn't allow me to share it on my blog. I'm so proud of the progress they have made and I'm grateful for a teacher that makes them work hard.

Girls' Weekend in Minnesota

Tessie Snow invited several of us to come visit her at her house in Minneapolis. Four of us loaded up the van on Thursday at noon and left for her house. Britany Dicus had moved to Texas last year so she flew up to Minnesota Thursday morning.

We had a lot of fun talking, laughing, shopping, and eating. When Tessie suggested a trapeze class, I volunteered to be the photographer. Jennie quickly said she'd join me. I wouldn't have even made it up the ladder let alone fly thru the air. We also visited a mansion museum, IKEA, and a waterfall park. Tessie drove the Jennie's minivan and accidentally went the wrong direction on the on-ramp for the highway. It was pretty scary when we saw headlights coming at us. She quickly jumped the curb and got us onto the proper road.  Things got a little heated when someone brought up politics because Tessie is a liberal.  So we tried to avoid that topic.  We did well, for the most part.

We will be talking about that trip for years.

Me, Jennie Hendrix, Kathleen Lindseth, Tessie Snow, Britany Dicus, Lindsey Anderson
