We are leaving tomorrow morning for Estelline, SD! I am happy to be seeing my family over the 4th of July. I must admit, if I don’t do something fun for the 4th, I get depressed. More depressed than an uneventful Christmas or New Years. Any holiday but the 4th can be boring. I have a lifetime of family good time memories wrapped up into this month. My moms birthday is July 4th. As a child I thought everyone put on the BEST birthday party all for my mom! I was amazed at how cool she was. I’m still amazed at how cool she is. I don’t need to whole nation to celebrate her birthday to know that I have the best mom EVER! Even though I will not be spending moms birthday with her, I will still be with my South Dakota family and I am so thankful for that.

After the holiday, we are doing another round of teaching all across Iowa. We are now booked solid with classes until the first week of September. That feels like such success as a company. I am so proud of what we are creating!

Richards birthday was this Saturday. We had a great day. Working from home with many kid play breaks. I made my first Vegan Dessert. A chocolate torte and it was delightful!

Lots of packing and prepping to do! I hope everyone enjoys this week. It is my favorite time of year! Happy 4th to you all!!!!
