Howdy from one of the folks!

Still no news regarding my interview, the word is they will make an announcement after April 30, 2010

Sarah has another job interview down in Burlington, Iowa on Wednesday at the Notre Dame Catholic School for the 5 - 12 grade band teacher position.  I hope everybody will keep her in yours prayers for that position.

We went to Sarah's community play last night.  It went really well and Sarah did an excellent job, along with the other members of the cast.

After the play was over we were standing around talking to Sarah and another member of the cast came up to Sarah all excited and said "Oh!  is this part of your family?  I want to meet your folks!" 

So I thought, that is a shame that my folks and Caroline's folks are not here to meet her.  Then the light bulb turned on and I realized "Wait a minute"  that "Folks" term referred to Caroline and I!!!!!!

We have just moved up to a different level of terminology!  We have now been classified as "FOLKS!" We are no longer "The parents of .........."  or "these are my parents"  but now we are "Folks!!!!!"  I wonder what new duties and responsibilities are required now that we are "Folks"

It was chilly and rainy this weekend.

I harvested my first batch of Asparagus yesterday.  I have not cooked it up yet.

have a good week everybody

Robin Hood Schnoebelen!

Philomena went to her first Archery tournament today, she was entered in the Junior division.

She smoked the competition! and won first place in the Junior Division!  She won her first medal!  She was not just a little happy, she was A LOT HAPPY!  And so was I.

The 4-H club has started an archery club, she joined it and doing quite well at practice.  It paid off at the tournament.

I think she is ready to shoot an apple off of her mom's head!

Philomena shot trap for the first time last Tuesday, she did  well busting 8 out of the 25 for the first time shooting!

Daniel received a 2 rating on his French Horn Duet at music contests last Saturday, Good job for Daniel!

I took Sarah up to her job interview last Tuesday at Lake Park, Iowa. She will know the outcome on Tuesday. It is a nice community, I hope she gets offered the job.

Still no word or decision regarding my interview last Friday.  It has been over a week now.

Happy shout-out birthday wishes to Anna, Marcy, and Michael!  Hmmm, someone young, someone older, and someone younger!  No Wait!......... that is a wedding thing!.....or I just made that up!

Interviews

I had my interview last Friday, and I believe it went well.

I spent the next day going over my answers and saying "Oh, I should have said it this way" or "it would have been better if I said it like this"

But it is over, and we should know the outcome in the next few days.

Sarah has an interview today up in northwest Iowa west of Spirit Lake so I offered to be her driver so the drive would not be so long and tiresome.

Things are warming up and turning green so that is nice

The kids have gotten down their bikes and are taking to the street to ride them

Philomena is going to shoot trap at the Ventura gun club tonight, and she has an archery tournament on Sunday.  She is doing very well in archery.  She cannot shoot an apple off mom's head yet, but pretty close.

Daniel had a camp out last weekend, they went up to a scout camp north of Stillwater, MN and they made 6 dozen cinnamon rolls for Sunday breakfast for the scouts who attended.

Daniel and I are going to try our luck at Turkey hunting this spring so we are going to go out during 4th season which is in May.  We will try our luck down at the 80'

A Happy belated Anniversary to John and Arlene

Birthday shout out wishes go out to Joey, Val and Mathias and also to Anna whose birthday is creeping up next week

everybody have a good week
