News from Hi Point 5/6

Mother's Day Weekend! Ok, so maybe not the world's most exciting holiday but I like Mother's Day. Too bad my Mom is not in Reno, but I do have people who "mother" me in lots of ways and I think this is a good year to honor the people who take care of me. So, shout out to you, Mom, but also a thank you to the many moms in my life who make it all so much fun and who also make it easier on the hard days, happier on the sad days and better all around. :)   Thanks, y'all and tell your moms you love them!

We're gathering these shared thoughts, stories, memories or pictures and putting them in a book to share with others at Hi Point. So, think of your favorite stories, come write them down at Hi Point and read what others have to share.
