Last day of school!

Maddie's last day of finals was May 23!

Yay -- junior year is in the books and it was a good year!

The Landscaping Club was fun for her and as she said,

a very chill club - no drama at all - gotta like that!

Last final is over and done!

Her classes were good and she especially enjoyed

U.S. History with Sister Jacquelyn.

Sister J is an amazing teacher and all the students

love her!  So happy that M had her for history

and worked hard every day to do a good job!

And on to summer break!

A little trip is planned and lots of volunteer work and

even working in the Rickster's office sometimes.

She and I have a big, long "summer bucket list!"

Happy summer!

Landscaping Club!

Did you know there's a Landscaping Club

in high school?

So many club options these days - not 

like in the dark ages when I was in high school 

and the only club was Pep Club!

Maddie and I helped design a decal for 

members to put in their car windows -

a trend that is very popular in high school . . .

at least around here!

Options 2 and 3 were available.

The Vice Principal nixed Option 1 -- I think

it reminded him of my wild and frizzy hair! 

:)

Last week the club members pulled weeds in the courtyard area.

Spring cleanup of school grounds is scheduled in a few weeks.

At the club meeting the other day,

they learned how to make wrist corsages!

What a great talent and so useful with prom coming up soon!

Speaking of landscaping, I've started spring cleanup in our yard!

OH MY WORD!!

The heavy snow this past winter really

hammered the yard!

Leaves are packed down deep

and very, very, very dirty!

There's a lot of work to do

but happily I finished most of the front yard.

Super happy to see so many signs of spring!

Happy Spring!!
