Freshman Year is Over and Done

It doesn't seem that long ago that we were moving you in. My youngest child was starting his freshman year at Wright State University.

 Today was the day we went down to bring everything back for the summer.

It all fit, but truthfully we had made a partial trip earlier this week.
Welcome back home, Sean!

Summer is officially here for the Hastings-Reed Home

First concert of the summer - Avett Brothers at the Fraze.  It was an awesome night and an awesome concert. David Mayfield surprised  everyone when he came out and played for the encore! Here's to many more nights and days of music to come this summer!

Time for brunch on the deck and then being able to share with Kitty.

I unapologetically love Hillary

There are many beautiful things blooming in my world.

Ray Bradbury died today

I loved reading Ray Bradbury and I loved teaching him to my students. It was through his stories that I truly came to understand and appreciate what science fiction as a genre is, a cautionary tale as to what the future might hold if we don't pay attention to our lives and the directions we take in our societies.

Thank you Mr. Bradbury for enriching our lives and causing us to think.
