Text Books and Pioneer Day

.sorry no pics the camera is still missing, and after rearranging the office and our bed room and cleaning the house its still is no where to be found....I may have to settle with this horrible feeling that Benjamin may have accidentally put it in a garbage can!....

Well, I've now been able to acquire 1/2 of my needed textbooks...and I already have 8 !!! Gosh, these professors at Purdue must be nuts. I've ready two of the supplemental books all ready and they were interesting I'll try and tackle another one this week....it can't hurt to have a head start on this "light reading".

Today is Pioneer Day, we will be celebrating it hopefully with a TON of friends. We've sent out an invitation to all in the area, to have a potluck dinner at 5. We'll provide the homemade root beer and ice cream so hopefully that will be a good incentive for people to stop by!

Thinking of Pioneers, Jeff and I recently spent an evening perusing through Grandpa Joe's Life History, what a man! A missionary, father, husband, good friend, frugal, wise, self sufficient, and even a friend of Ronald Regan! I am so thankful for my ancestors who have left me such a wonderful legacy to follow!

Ann,
We won't be making it tonight. This our only night to actually be at home as a family and not running around somewhere, so we are staying home for some R&R (and maybe some fort building)!

You know-I think that the Borrowers are on a roll-my keys went missing almost a month ago and all 5 of us searched every possible nook and cranny for days...I even searched the garbage too! We still haven't found them!

I am so excited for you Ann- about school, not the camera. I hope you find it!
