Mini Homestead Happenings for 7/1/2009

Posted by Shannon Buck on July 1, 2009

So…Zowie spent last weekend at home, and will be home again from Upward Bound late Friday. She is having a great time there, and is loving the peer counseling that she was accepted to perform. It takes up a lot of her time. She tells me that she will have her college essay written by summers’ end.

We went to a jewelry party on Friday evening, and went to the beach Saturday. It was a nice weekend visit.

Hope you are all doing well.

Shannon
