Congratulations April !!!!!!

Congratulations April !!!! You made us proud!!!!

My daughter April graduated from CTE and she walked away with the Top Student of the year award from CTE. Out of 400+ students, she received $500 and this silver bowl award. She also received $100 award for Outstanding student in Cosmetology II, and a $100 CTE staff award. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Ryan, I'm not sorry I missed the Kara run tonight.


Tomorrow night she has the CVU Convocation to go to. I wonder if she'll get an award from there????

Pellet Stove

With fuel costs on the rise, my wife and I have decided that we needed to look at an alternate way to heat our house. Currently we heat by #2 fuel oil which is currently $4.78 a gallon. We decided to get a pellet stove. It's 85% efficient, pellets cost $239 a ton, and it will take about 4 tons to heat our house for the winter. That's only $956 for a heating season. It is a Harman model XXV (25). The installers just left and here are the pictures.
