Mom - you are the best. You've helped me through some tough times. I am glad you are my mother.
And Happy Mother's Day to Judi, Laura, and Kristin!!!

Schafer genealogy
Does anyone have any information on the Schafer family tree? I had gotten some info from Grandpa before he died, and I gave somebody a copy but I have lost it in all my moves. I understand many of the Schafers were from Bremen - I travel through Germany a lot and I was kind of curious.

Almost SummerTime
We all had a great time in Virginia, and now I am getting ready for our big event - Stephanie's HS Graduation and Brian's 8th grade graduation !!
Stephanie is taking some AP exams this week & next - hopefully, after all that, the work is over - just Prom, Graduation, & Summer Time !! We'll be driving her out to St Louis on Aug 20. The challenge is to fit everything in the minivan - which is probably equal in volume to her half of a dorm room !!
Brian is looking forward to lots of camp this summer - he's attending a CTY camp in PaleoBiology at Franklin & Marshall College, a 1 week church service project, as well as Y Camp at Speers-Eljabar. And a new one this year - he will be in Band Camp with Erica the last 2 week of August.
Erica is having a great year with Marching Band, Jazz Band & Key Club. This summer she'll be working as a Camp Counsellor at the local Girl Scout Camp. She's taking a week off to go on the church mission trip. Also, she'll be "Sweet 16" in July - she'll get her permit, & we'll spend some time cruisin'. She's looking forward to returning to Band & School as an upperclass Junior !!
Last year we had a great time travelling to Rome, Venice & Yellowstone - this year we're staying closer to home. After school is out we're camping at Assateague for a few days with a bunch of friends. Then it's a relaxing summer at home - quilting, local beaches, cleaning out the Aegean Stables (aka the basement).
I really enjoyed spending time with everyone !!

Laura

Toby in VA
A trip to No. Va. isn't complete without a shopping spree at Tysons Corner!
Hanging out with Aunt Val while Mommy shops.

Glad they followed the instructions!
Makes sense, doesn't it?
I'm at home anywhere!
Congratulations, Judi & Roger
