Rain and Busy Days

Thursday was another cool, rainy day.  John and I just hung out around the house in the morning taking care of a few household chores.  Following a quick lunch, we headed south to Detroit Lakes for Sara's graduation from the two year Radiology course she took at the Minnesota Technical College.  The class had a total of 15 students and they attended classes and clinicals for two straight years with only a few breaks for holidays, etc.  Sara was the top student in the class and received a special award along with getting "pinned".  She is taking her state boards tomorrow and then will start work at the Centers for Pain Management where I was treated earlier this week.  Following the ceremoney, Sara's dad treated 13 of us to a delicious dinner at one of the many lakeside dinning places in the area.  Needless to say we are all very proud of Sara and all her hard work over the past two years.

Today stated off with heavy fog and misty rain which left us wondering if the two track meets for today would be canceled; however, the skies cleared in the late afternoon and we had beautiful weather for the meets. The varsity meet had been canceled earlier in the week and moved to today where a jr. high meet was already on the calendar.  We had to decide which one to attend.  The junior high meet won out as this was their final one of the season.  Sara went to the varsity meet as she would be staying overnight in the Fargo area to get to the testing site on time.  Sam won the 100 yard dash and came in second in the open 200 and 400.  At the junior high meet, all of JD's boys broke the six minute mark in the mile, Jenni won the high jump and did well in the open 200 and 400. Rachel and Josh also did well in their races.  JD has had a very successful first year as a track coach.
