Well, Rockwell had a blast on the motorcycle.. He will have even more fun when he makes his hand strong enough to pull in the clutch to change gears! I have to say, this IS a great motorcycle to learn on. First gear top speed is.. not fast.

Hannah is going to RTX this year, so she is working on improving her Cosplay costume. She is making a Chainmail sash for it.
Ill have to get an example of the produt itself… But here is a process pic.
And I scanned a bunch of Hannahs art projects from this year, This one was too big to scan so I took a picture of it. It is called “Through the Keyhole” and she received an “A” for it. She had a narrative.. I have to look at it again.

My sister asked where Hannah will be staying, and what language they speak.
She will be staying at Kathi’s sisters house in Lucerne Switzerland, and be immersed in Swiss-German.
It’s all so exciting.. And, I have to say, Teri and Juerg’s house is in, lets say, a picturesque location? For instance, this is looking (East I believe?) out the Kitchen window. Yes. That is looking over a Vineyard, onto lake Lucerne, with the Swiss Alps beyond that.
I mean.. really? This is a postcard, not a view from a normal persons yard. jeesh. In case you are wondering, they are not independently wealthy.
This is the view to the south I believe?
Breathtaking.
Here is a map of Lucerne.

As you know, Hannah was dissapointed in not getting into the SCGSSM (Gov. school of Science and Math). But don’t ever let anything get in your way. Kathi’s sister Teri found a Science and math School in Switzerland that was very interested in Hannah attending. They said they dont often get female exchange students that like Science and Math! Well; They got one now.
A note that Teri mentioned on facebook:
I will add here (not too much pressure ) Kantonalschule Alpenquai is the best highschool in Central Switzerland. We have 4 levels of HS when kids leave 6th grade if the have an 5.2 grade pt ave out of 6 they go to Kantonalschule. Next lower is Oberstufe A, then Oberstufe B and then C level. Hannah will be with the top top students all around.
No, not too much pressure.
Lol.

Good Job Hannah. Good Job. I am proud of you. You were a conscientious student, and took your responsibilities seriously. That will get you far.

I think this might be remembered as the summer of motorcycles.
I broke down and purchased a used Honda XR100R.. The epitome of starter bikes. You almost can’t find a better bike to learn to ride on. Melinda and Rockwell will have a blast on it. Got it for 500$! Could not pass it up.
And Hannah has expressed interest in rebuilding the old Honda CB175 that has been hanging around (Literally and figuratively.. lol) for 25 or so years. (Got this one free on the south side of Chicago in the 80s! (NO its not stolen!))

Happy Birthday to my Oldest Daughter.. Sweet 16! We had a lot of fun this weekend. We had the SuperHappy Block party (That, even though it was sort of rained out, was still a lot of fun), and we went to Carowinds amusements today.
Here is a video of us going into the Park and trolling the Parking attendant. she thought it was funny.. You cant see what happened, but she tried to scan the pass, and had to pull the scanner way back in order to read it.
Amber was not excited about her assignment. lol.
getting on the fighter jet ride!
A video of the wooden rollercoaster at Carowinds. It was the shortest line, and considering, pretty thrilling!
Near the end of the day. We all had fun.
Hannah texted Kathi and told her that Amber and I took off and left her in North Carolina.. Then when she called freaked out, Hannah texted her this picture. (The park is half in one state, half in the other.)
Waiting on the last ride. We are WORN OUT.
Afterwords we found the only culvers in the south! The Birthday angels were smiling on HannaH.
The day before we spend some time at the SUPERHAPPY BLOCK PARTY That was organized by my friends at the Clubhouse. It ultimately got rained out, but we still had some fun. Here is Hannah being silly.
Here is a Friend Chris Krug showing off his Turbine Minivan.. lol. (I made that CO2 powered model Racetrack (White strip) for the block party. I hope the rain did not wreck it so we can use it more…)
