For one of his finals in December, he had to do two engineering problems that took him all day to figure out and six pages of equations! He had quite a feeling of accomplishment figuring out these solutions and earned an A in both of his classes. Continue reading “Josh and His Studies”

Bonnie had never been to Kennedy Space Center, so we spent one day 0n the Space Coast.” Unfortunately, it was a damp, drizzly day, not the warm and sunny day we enjoyed on our visit in June. Continue reading “Thanksgiving 2012”
