Wow! It's been way to long since I've posted anything here! We went to Lawrence on Monday and came back yesterday with most of Jessica's "big stuff". Thankfully, we had no rain on the way back, though it looked pretty threatening most of the trip. Jess is heading home Thursday after her last final and should be home mid-afternoon. It will be good to have her here this summer.
She was so tired when we saw her Monday; she had pulled another "all-nighter". Not an unusual circumstance for college students at the end of a semester. She worked a few more days than she had originally planned and consequently didn't have as much time to work on her design, drawing and photo projects.
She checked us into the hotel and looked so professional with her black blazer on. During our stay, she informed us that there was a German Baptist gathering south of Lawrence, so there were many German Baptists there with all their children. They made quite a picture with the women in their prayer caps, calico dresses and capes and the men with their beards, hats, slacks, vests all in black. Also staying at the hotel at the same time were some Nigerian dignitaries both men and women and their "guards" or assistants. Their dress was very showy and beautiful...the women in long colorful dresses and headpieces...the men in their long white flowing robes and hats.
Breakfast in the lobby was interesting with all the diversity! It occurred to us, that Jessica has had some valuable experiences working in the nicest hotel in Lawrence. She informed us that the "Russians" would be coming back next week--a group of four Russian men who visit about once a month! She hasn't had the nerve to practice her Russian with them, because they have such a "stern" appearance.
Anyway, our trip was pleasant...we enjoyed our time with Jessica and we got home safely. Can't ask for more.
