Event: Christian Brothers College, 10/17/09

Cadettes and Juniors of Tipton County had the opportunity to go to Christian Brothers University to learning about "Society of Women Engineers". They learned about different types of engineering. They built simple machines, and gliders from styrofoam board, and had lots of fun. Thanks you to those involved which made this possible.

Christian Brothers University - Hosts "Society of Women Engineers" for Girl Scouts

On Saturday, October 17th, several Girl Scouts had the opportunity to visit Christian Brother's University. While they were there the "Society of Women Engineers" taught the girls about different fields in the engineering. They got to build simple motors, and design their very own gliders. This program is usually for high school students, but our fifth through middle school girls grasp the concept and ran with it. The instructors were amazed at their thoughts and concepts far surpassed what they typically see from high school students. WAY TO GO Girl Scouts!!!

Heritage - September 13, 1928

Today my grandmother turned 81 years young. Several years ago she has a mild stroke, but to this day she still mows her own grass, loves to work in her flower beds, and lives life as best she can. I love and admire her. She's old fashioned and quirky, but has the best intentions. What a blessing. It puts butterfly kisses in my heart to see with her great grandchildren and see her smile.

{Summer Vacation} A day at the museum...

......A day at the Pink Palace Museum.

My children love to go to the Pink Palace Museum, and see all the dinosaur bones, visit the planetarium, and on this particular trip they got to see the animated dinosaurs. If you haven't ever seen them they are quite a sight.

Summer, Vacations, and lots of FUN!

Every year the children get to visit with their grandpa. It is always seems so short, but we have a wonderful time, and so enjoy his visits. This year we went to a couple of different favorites of the children. I will enclose more pictures in another post.
