Good Morning Everyone! Jim made it through finals and had their senior lock in last night until 5am this morning so this is his first day being done with classes! Whoooo Hoooo! Jim and Maren picked up Gram from the airport last night before he left for his senior gathering so the relatives are starting to come for the graduation tomorrow. Just riminding you all that you are invited to help celebrate this upcoming milestone with a few different opportunities in case you have to pick and choose. The actual graduation ceremony is tomorrow-5:30pm at Memorial Field next to the high school. Right after is our open house from 7 to 10pm at 1112 Peterson Drive, Northfield, MN and then Sunday morning-Senior Service at Bethel Lutheran Church, where all the seniors from our church will receive their memory quilts and Jim will again sing the song, "All Good Gifts" We would love to have you be a part of any of the activities going on this special weekend. Know that you are all very important to Jim and our whole family! We would like all of you that are able to come share in the celebration. Again, consider this a personal invitation. Well, I better sign off as I have the day to prepare for this gala set of events. We will be in touch. Blessings on your day. Cathy
