You know, it's been forever since I've updated, so sue me!  We've been rather busy the last few months; you would think with school being out (meaning College), things would slow down.  But NOOOO!!!  There are still lots of stuff to do and activities to attend to even though a lot of the local students are either back in their hometowns or working their behinds off.

The BSU still has their English Conversation meetings on Saturday mornings during the summer, because there are still international students that stay in the country during the summer months and take classes. Our main group is the Chinese students, and we are trying to get some of the other groups to join us.  I don't always get to attend, but when I do go it's quite interesting depending on the subject matter.

Along with the conversation help, they also take those students to different area historical places to even further help them understand American culture.  They have been anywhere from our local history museum, to our National Battlefield, Wilson's Creek.  We also have had a couple of cookouts, which some of them have never experienced. For the 4th of July, we took a group to Branson Landing for their fireworks show. And we had a drive-in movie night planned, but it rained that evening. Unfortunately a lot of those students will be graduating and leaving soon, so we have very little time with them. 

So as you can see, even summertime is busy at the BSU.  As long as there are students on campus, the BSU will have opportunities for fellowship and just having fun.

So I will try to update this more and more, and add pictures, etc.  But as always, here is a recent picture of our granddaughters eating watermelon on the 4th:

Aren't they adorable!!!  =)
