Hokey Pokey

Because that's what it's all about.

Reconstructionary

Yesterday I posted exterior before and after the reconstruction of Minnehaha Academy.  Back in May, we went on an alumni tour of the new buildings.  Today's blog is a short slideshow of some of the things we saw.

I didn't take the time to label the images, so here is a run down of what they are:

– A partial view of the new library, with a lovely view of West River Parkway.
– A partial view of the new college-grade cafeteria.
– A partial view of one of four science learning labs.
– A partial view of the library rooftop green space.
– Construction of the Beauty for Ashes Prayer Room.
– Lots of windows and open spaces.
– Construction of a courtyard amphitheater.
– Loose brick shingles, handmade in Denmark, used as siding on the top two floors.

Restority

On August 2, 2017, a natural gas explosion tore apart my high school, Minnehaha Academy; killing two people and injuring others.  This August, the newly rebuilt campus will welcome students back.

My friend's cat, Gypsy, keeping an eye on me.

Fungosity

As I was getting ready to leave for work this morning, I noticed all the cute little mushrooms in the grass by my truck.
