Circle the State with Song

Happy Valentines Day! I had a great one. Before we left in the morning, Keith and I made homemade laundry soap. Someone had given him some for Christmas and I liked it so I got the recipe. We made 5 gallons. Only takes 1/2 cup per load, all natural ingredients and the cost is just a little over one cent per load. I will be taking some for the kids to try and our mothers too.

Keith got me a new scrapbook, pages and stickers for Valentines Day. I love him. First he brought in a new sewer clean out for the camper and said that was my gift. I must admit I was speechless for a minute. Keith took me out to lunch at the new restaurant in Spencerville, Indiana. We were on our way over to watch Kraig and Casey sing in the Circle the State with Song at the IPFW Campus. We actually got there early, just before Kurt, Chloe and Cayla. Christy was a chaperone and she went on the bus in the morning with the kids. They had been there practicing since 7 AM. The program began at 3 PM, but the doors opened at 2:30. Christy had saved us good seats. There were kids from all over Indiana. Riverdale only sent 13 students and 2 of them were my grandchildren!! They really did a great job, as all the schools had never

practiced together until that morning. We were very proud of them. After the program we went to Pizza Hut and had some pizza, wings and pop. It was such a fun day for me, spending time with Keith & Kurt's family. Forgot to mention earlier. This was the week for new glasses. Casey, Chloe and I all got new glasses this week. These are Chloe's first pair. She looks cute in them, I posted a picture of her in them.

Chloe's Flip Flop Party

I was honored to be invited to Chloe's Flip Flop (reading) program at her school today. First the teacher gave out awards. Chloe read over 100 books! Then her class did a skit "By George" about George Washington. The first picture is of her doing her reading in the skit. The next picture is of the diarama she made about one of the books she read and the last picture is of her with her award. It was an interesting and fun program. We had cake, ice cream and punch. Her teacher gave every student a pair of flip flops. Chloe got pink ones!

Snowy Day

While Keith was out of town, we had alot of drifting snow. When he got home he had to use the snowblower to clear out the driveway. It was pretty deep in places. Of course he had to snowblow a path to his chicken coop. He thought about selling the snowblower this summer, sure glad he thought again!
