The baby of the family, aka Maggie, went out with an accomplished-filled bang on May 7. She graduated from high school 10 years after Cole and I did that exact same thing. Whoa, has it really been that long. Anyways, let's no dwell on how old we are getting and instead celebrate Maggie and wish her all the best as she venture off to do noble things at that other school in Kansas (K-State ...). . . .

Say hello to the USS Hornet. It's the one on the left.

Okay, it's not just a boat. It's an aircraft carrier. More specifically, this is the USS Hornet. We arrived here by happenstance. We had just left a warehouse sale, and while we were navigating our way out, we could turn right and head on our way, or go left to visit the USS Hornet museum. Which way did we go, obviously left, even though we still hadn'nt had lunch and it was 4 p.m. Military history wins when Cole is behind the wheel. . . .
