A Pool for Herky

The rescued baby duck now has a pool. He loves it. He wouldn't dive under and swim for us as he had just gotten out before we got there. He would get in and swim around. He even tried to fly and I almost missed the picture. He loves to eat bugs. Ants aren't safe. When he is done, he will hop into an opened palm and snuggle down. He is getting bigger and the fuzz is turning feathery. (He doesn't know he is a duck!)

Finally Completed!

Marg, did you give me this one? It's tough. Jill didn't even want to try to add a piece when she saw it. "No color picture!" You need it, if you have tried it yet, both Marg and Mary Jane.

Graduation!

After the big party everyone relaxed at the graduation ceremony. My pictures are never very good in that gym. There is just not enough light, but you get the idea. Abbey was honored for honor roll. (That is what the gold cord means. The white is National Honor Society)

More Pictures

There are more pictures from the omelet breakfast on facebook. I'll get around to a couple from graduation also. Abbey's quilt that Teresa made turned out lovely. Cousins and little brothers got put to work too. And here is a picture of the Fields table. (Calvin has on the wristbands from everyday at the state track meet. He may wear them forever!) Jeff finished 8th in the 100 meter run as did the 4 x 100, ninth in the 4 x 200 and 20 something in the 4 x 400. The team tied for 13th!

Graduation Day for Abbey

An omelet breakfast was the graduation party highlight. Here are the cooks (that did a great job) with our graduate. I should get more pictures up tomorrow. It's been a busy day.

State Track

Jeff will run twice tomorrow at the State Track Meet. First in the Open 100 meter where he had the 6th fastest time and later in the 4 x 100 where they had the 5th fastest time and broke their own school record again. They were 9th in the 4 x 200, so missed by one placing of qualifying. The 4 x 400 had tough luck when the # 1 and 2 runners dropped the baton and were last when #2 got started. The # 3 runner gained one place and #4 runner (Jeff) gained another place. (This picture shows his first track medal. It's from the Bell tower Festival, when he was about 6.)
