It Was All About The Schedule

Graduation for Keri Hanson Olson

May 16, 2009

University of Wisconsin

School of Nursing

Arrived in Milwaukee on Wednesday the 13th. John and Josie were at the station to meet us. We slept in on Thursday then went to John & Keri's for the afternoon. Keri had one more powerpoint presentation to make -- a review of her life leading up to graduation. We had lots of fun looking at pictures and being silly. That evening we packed up the kids (all 4) and headed to MacDonald's for the antique auto show and dinner. Jim found a red GTO convertible but not a 1964! On Friday Keri and I headed out to run errands. And, she introduced me to Jimmy John's Subs. I'm a fan of the Vito. Yum! Then the schedules became important.
