A little rain ruins nothing in our family.
Great Music
I am the type of person who prefers to have music on no matter what I am doing. It is part of my soul.
This morning as I am working away, a few tracks of the wonderful album called High Society by The Silver Seas have popped up on my playlist. My fave song on the album is called “We’ll Go Walking”. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it anywhere to play for you. So instead, here is another song called “She Is Gone” so you can get a feel for the type of music on this album.
Have a great Saturday.
Which Is The Kid?
Tonight was our Annual Corporate Putt-Putt Challenge. It was a lot of fun. But in this picture, it is hard to figure out which one of these individuals is the kid! Jayme and Jeff had an ice cube fight. I think Jayme wore him out. I’m not sure who won. Thanks for being such a great sport Jeff.

HOBY
Our oldest daughter finished up a four-day leadership program at Denison University today through HOBY.
Thought I would share some great quotes from the program:
"Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them." – John Maxwell
"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." – Dwight Eisenhower
"What makes leadership is the ability to get people to do what they don’t want to do and like it." – Harry Truman
Congrats Savannah. We are very proud of you!

Enjoy.
18
Monday my husband and I will celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary on May 21.
At our wedding, we gave each person a parting gift – a plant stem of Lilly Of The Valley. This plant is a perennial, which means it will come up each year. We asked everyone to plant it and to think of our wedding each spring when it blooms.
Tonight we went over to visit my dad who recently had some surgery and I walked by the patch of Lilly Of The Valley that my mom planted from our wedding, 18 years ago. It is still going strong and smells beautiful.
It was a nice reminder. Thanks, mom.
What A Dork
No, I’m not talking about Savannah, my daughter. I am talking about me. Just dropped her off at Denison University for a 4 day leadership conference and am teary-eyed.
Get a grip, Cheri.
Not sure if it was because I helped her set up her dorm room or because I had to actually say good-bye. No matter, I am such a dork.
I will be a total wreck when she leaves for college, which is in two years.
Jeez.
Leaders
Congrats to our middle daughter, Heather, for her second year in National Junior Honor Society. These are the future leaders of our country, so I am pleased that they are learning about leadership at a young age.
Pictured here are Sam, Heather and Vinnie. What a great group of students!
