Slight Detour tribute

My 4-H leader and high school yearbook adviser Marianne Love, who worked with Carol for many years, posted a very nice essay in Mom's memory on her blog today. View by clicking here.

Thanks Marianne.

Carol Ann Rojan Pietsch

Oct. 14, 1934 to June 17, 2009

Mom passed away early this morning at the age of 74. I thought that I would post a few pictures here in her honor today.

Spider Girls Produce


Entrepreneurs Delaney and Tiernan (with a little help from Mom and Dad) set up a produce stand in front of the house this week. They are selling flower, vegetable plants and strawberries to start. The pair managed to make $19 the first day!

Scholarship Winner!



Delaney learned this week that she is the recipient of a $1000 savings bond from her orthodontist Dr. Brad Chvatal. She received the award for her grades, community service and an essay on how she would help make the world smile. Right on Delaney!

Her essay read:

"I plan to make the world smile by . . . .

I think before I make the world smile, I'll start with my neighborhood. A path to the school is next to my house. A lot of families walk through there morning, afternoon and evening. I planted a perennials garden on the side of the path. When the flowers bloom, they will make people smile. Their smiles will make my smile even bigger!"
