I hope things are going well for you this spring.

My life is not all pearls. This week we have two important graduations in our family.

John & Sarah

Thursday night, Sarah, our youngest daughter, graduates from the local junior college. She was honored beyond our farthest dreams by receiving the college's highest award, the agriculture department's highest award and the USA Today's Coca Cola Silver Scholarship, putting her into the top 100 junior college students in the USA. All this at age 18!

Saturday, John, our youngest son, will graduate with honors from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in political science. That afternoon he will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the US Army. And he's only 20!

I home schooled all 7 of my children until college. John & Sarah requested to start college classes at age 16. Their success shows that they were ready for the challenge. I am truly blessed to have such conscientious children!

Now a bit about pearls.

I love hearing about your natural pearls! Thank you for all your emails and new fans on FaceBook!

I'm on Twitter too! See you there!

Someone emailed me today and said, "I'm not sure whether you are person or a business formula."

I'm glad they asked. I'm a person with a winning business formula.
