Hannah caught Primo, Arthur’s turkey. He really is quite friendly. He still seeks Arthur out, and sits on his lap. Right now he hangs around in the woods with some other turkeys Arthur got.
I caught this one just by luck.. Rockwell kissing one of the chickens. We really are quite fond of them.

So, after the Makerfaire convention in New York that we (sort of) attended (virtually), we were excited to get our Arduino micro-controller kit in the mail.
The first thing we did was flash an LED..More fun than you might expect, simply because you can change the flash rate, and change the persistance and see how fast you can flash it before you are just really effectively adjusting the brightness.
Then the next challenge was to load a program that played the first few notes of “mary had a little lamb”. Interesting, not complicated, as it was programmed already for you.
But then the interesting part. Hannah went into the program, and programmed the rest of the song into it.
Now that’s what I’m talking about! That’s the first step to WAY bigger things. Neat!

I don’t know why I find this so entertaining, but I do.. It’s so funny watching the chickens chase after these bugs!
Last night Was Rockwell’s first “official” race as a NBL member. He did really well! He is down to 1 minute from the gate to the finish line.. If that does not mean anything to you, consider that that is my same pace! I can’t believe he is already as fast as I am.

If you would like to see mom one more time, this is a good setting.
My Mom, Verna Mae Theresa (Rourke) Elser Died today.
What a wonderful woman she was. Full of success. A full life. She slapped down adversity with vivre. A Christan that lived it.
The world could use more people like you, not less. You will always be with us mom.
We will never forget. 😉
Love, E

Hannah is running for student council president this year. She is giving her speech this morning, and I believe the vote will be today.
Wish her luck!
