Jay and Katie spent a few days at the cabin, and brought their cat with them. I guess she had a great time exploring the cabin, all the rooms, under all the beds, in the art cabinet. This tube arrangement looks pretty perfect. Eating shrimp late at night, one of the fam. Love, Mom
Here’s a picture from another year–no in person trip this year for graduation. The family had a big plan to go to Omaha for this occasion, but damned pandemic. Bummed as we are about the lack of celebration, we are still just as proud and excited that you have GRADUATED, and are going to go
