Happy Mother's Day!

The spring semester is winding down at Bradley and we are into final exams.  A few days ago, Bradley hosted the High School Chemistry Contest, where high school student from an 11-county area in central Illinois got to take a test, get lunch, see the campus, and see a a chemistry demonstration show.  Kris got to go from her class, so I pulled her out of the audience to help me with a couple of demos that she was familiar with.  We had fun.  Weather has been warm and juicy.  On Friday night Katie and I saw several fireflies (and I caught one, too).  We have been getting rain, too - in fact we got about a third of an inch of rain a couple of hours ago.  Today was Mother's Day, and one of the last days in the Peoria area for some friends (the Blands).  We hung out with them during church and later at a park.
