So we decided to combine the three occasions for one big party, so as not to totally ruin 3 Saturdays in one month for our families. I’ve been slowly buying supplies for …

College…a time of learning, a time for independence, a time for stress. And that’s AFTER application time! I crack up when I think of how I got out my electric typewriter to neatly fill out the applications; I’m sure everything is now submitted online now. I still take great pride in the care I …
