From Coop to Coop

 Another day, another one leaves (though she'd only been here for two days after moving out of her apartment in Des Moines).

A few last minute things to stick in the car...the crew out on the lawn to watch Kendra leave for a year of traveling to various PA rotations.

The first one will be in Warsaw, with a doctor who she's shadowed  many times (our prayers are with you, Dr. Pitts....).

Clad in cool shades and armed with a triumphant grin, it is time to head out!

The trip took a couple of extra hours this time around, due to an accident near Iowa City. Traffic had to be rerouted, but Kendra finally pulled into sister Sharon's homey chicken coop just after 8:30, or rather, 9:30 Indiana time.





Back at the Hoytstead, the two youngest plowed their way through 1.5 math lessons. The same tomorrow and then their final test on Friday.

I'm working them down to their numerical nubbins in a last gasp effort to finish math in two more days. I did not like the thought of coming back to math after a break for Vacation Bible school, next week.

We still have odds and ends, and there may be more to finish after our big Hoyt reunion the third week of June, but at least math will be done. Math takes a lot of time and is the source of much frustration for both of them and for me. But we won't go into that, now.

Tomorrow is more academic work, but of a different bent for Carolyn. I'm driving her down to Cedar Rapids to work with a teacher who's had experience in prepping students for the ACT. Carolyn will be taking it for a second time, a week from this Saturday. We're hoping for another point or two, though she did quite well the first time around.

Anyway, another big day tomorrow. Seems like there have been lots of big days, of late....
