Lukas has Graduated

   We had Luke's open house last Friday, all went well and a good time was had.  We have been to many open houses for Luke's friends and they have been enjoyable.  Graduation was at MSU Auditorium June 3, on a misty day.   The campus is under construction so we had to detour to park but ended up pretty good, and we sat in the back lower row of the balcony so we got a little breeze.   Last Thursday I cashed some dated savings bonds and brought $500 home and when I went to look for it Friday morning I couldn't find it or really recollect where I put it.   I spent 5 days retracing the possible places where I might have hid it, and praying.  On Tuesday morning I decided to  look again in the church envelope boxes and take everything out this time.  The first one revealed nothing different but when I started pulling everything from the second one green appeared from the front of the box and thank you GOD there was where I had put it.   This is a sign for me to take my time and think about even simple things and to take time to appreciate the good family and blessings GOD has bestowed on me.   Jane and I worked at Luke's senior party and he won a mini-frig., which we finally decided to return to Sams Club for the credit so Luke can get something else he wants.  Phillip pitched for the JV baseball team and did a very good job as well as playing first base.   Jon is still in Valpraiso taking a business class and is going to work there at a grocery store.   He also had another encounter with the Delta Township police Friday morning of Luke's open house, when I got a call from his cell phone asking me to pick him up in front of Runaway Bay apartments or he would be going to jail.   Life never is dull with 4 boys and sometimes we all get lucky learning lessons.
