May is simply one of those overloaded months a lot like December. Between Mother's Day, derby (pic above), weddings, retirements, graduations, end of season sports, other celebrations - it is packed full of events. All I heard on the radio this morning was the events happening this week in Bowling Green. Both DJ's were talking about graduations and how they needed to play Vitamin C. Because the month flies by with activity, you soon realize half the year is already complete as June rolls around.
We celebrate our Pap's birthday this month!!!
Mother's Day Celebration at Shannon's with my favs & Ice Cream Cake!
Two more school days is all I have before the youngest in our family enters into his Senior year. I gave him a big hug this morning and thought to myself...where did the time go? This giant human is almost finished with high school! It's a weird feeling. Karson will also enter her final semester at UofL this fall. Her graduation dress arrived last week and is stunning!
We are gearing up for golf season. Because we had such a nice turn out last year at our pancake breakfast, we did a repeat this year to kick off our fundraising. It was a lovely morning and many came out to support our team. One of my Skyctc co-workers Art McFadden (above) lives close by RP Market and came to the breakfast. It was such a kind surprise and made me grateful for friendships made through work. We're looking forward to an exciting season of high school golf which is right around the corner.
Speaking of golf, both of our college kids worked the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Course in Louisville this week. Karson had received a email months ago about week-long employment with the tour and thought it would be a neat opportunity. She shared it with Isaac, and both of them were employed within a week. Isaac had a very quick turnaround because he had finals the week before they were to start training. He took a final Thursday morning, packed all his things and got home that afternoon. He and Karson left early Friday for Louisville. The first two days of training were a little long and boring, but once the practice rounds began on Monday, things really picked up.
Overall, I think it was a muddy pleasant experience for them. They got back late last night, about the same time Miles got off work at Southern Lanes. I know they are both happy to be back home for the summer and have a break.
Miles, Matt, Paul and Evan got to be spectators at the PGA Championship this weekend. They had originally planned to go on Saturday, but a coworker at South had some extra tickets for Sunday as well. Matt purchased those and was able to enjoy the tournament twice. Miles had enough energy for one day (Saturday), and his shoulder blade has been bothering him a lot lately - coupled with the fact he worked until midnight Friday night, left early Saturday, was on his feet for 8 hours - standing in one place for about two - he had no interest in two days of PGA. It was a special treat getting to see the tournament and professional players up close. He also enjoyed being with his cousin Evan!
Championship Day at Valhalla with Brad, Seth, Matt and Paul. Matt had an extra ticket and was able to sell it immediately when he got off the bus that morning.
While the guys were away, us ladies were able to celebrate Ansley Vernon's upcoming graduation. Our kids were raised in small village together, and she is our bright star this year! We're excited for her next adventure at Belmont in Nashville!
