The World According to Leslie

 Anytime I can get Chasity to dress up, we do not have many reasons to around here, I try to get her to let me take a lot of pictures of her.  I do have to warn her ahead of time, and typically, she is cooperative.  Easter 2019 was one of those cooperative times! I think I got some good shots.  I typically take them on my camera instead of my phone. That is why April 2019 is just now being posted. I need to get better at posting soon after I take pictures.  NOTES:  1. The sun was bright and I use a point and shoot camera.  2. I am much better at nature photography.  3. I love taking pictures of my daughter!   That may (or may not) be picture overload!   Let me know in the comments if you have suggestions for better pictures. (Be kind!)

 In April 2019, so over a year ago, we went to visit Liberty University .  This was during the Spring of Chasity's junior year. This is one of the first schools to which she was accepted.  We were able to see the entire campus. It was truly beautiful!

I'm hoping to see some snow, and hopefully she will be able to start whittling down her choices.  I have a feeling, considering her choices, that Chasity is going to choose a mountain school. We just have to wait on all the acceptance letters and scholarships, grants, and financial aid to come in!

 Back in August, we visited Chowan University.   The campus is small, about 1200 undergraduate students.  When you pull in, you notice the simple beauty of it.  Entrance Gazebo Columns Building They are decorated for Christmas, but everything is Chowan blue! While we were there, we talked to her admissions counselor, he gave us the tour. We also talked to financial aid!  Oh my!  If you didn't know already, college is expensive! (No matter where you attend!) Finally, we spoke with the athletic director. If Chasity attends Chowan, she will probably be on the bowling team. With her average and skill level, she should fit in well there.  The best part of the long drive to there and back was the cotton fields. They were EVERYWHERE! We found the closest Wal-Mart to Chowan, and there were cotton fields on three sides of the parking lot.  I wanted to touch the cotton, but I never got out of the car to do it. I should have!! These were the fields near Wal-Mart. These are the ones that were
