• Satisfying Saturday

  We got up and headed to Springfield.  Picked up Jimmy John’s on the way…kind of a standing order for lunch when we visit Jax (and his parents).  Jax had bananas, peanut butter sandwich and goldfish, with a chaser or milk.  He and Pepe are buds now…since Pepe babysat for him yesterday.  He’s on pretty good terms with Mimi too.  Mom & Dad are always the best. While mom was cleaning out the car, Jax decided to show off his driving skills. 

  After Jax went down for his afternoon nap, we chatted with Matt & Sara for a while. Sara’s part-time job is now full time.  Fortunately her hours are flexible and she can arrange them with Matt’s schedule so they don’t need daycare on a regular basis.  Matt is signed up to take his first Actuary exam in July.  Exciting times ahead!

  We got back to St. James in time for Brice’s college graduation party.  His sister, Lana, in the Air Force and is in Afghanistan, but his brother Jimmy, a Marine, was able to make it.  Jimmy & Matt are friends, so it was great to see him again. Last weekend he & Matt were in Gulf Shores for another friend’s wedding.  Later this summer another friend is getting married…in Nebraska.  Not your typical destination wedding.

  Irises are peak blooming.  Peonies are just starting.
