She is gaining more confidence every class and like always
making new friends.
A little sun will do ya, a lot of sun can give you a chin
lift!
Yup. Another cutting
of basil cell cancer off my face.
I'm not in denial that this will be my last one. But hoping that the next time maybe I'll be
able to have a little face lift too.
One can only hope.
Cole's basketball came to a close and for the first time his
team had more wins than losses. The official team name again this year was
Beavers but his team renamed themselves to "Dream Team".
His last game in particular something clicked for Cole (#21) as he
played his best game, scoring a few lay-ups along with a couple free throws. He
also became quite aggressive grabbing a some steals and a lot of rebounds. Overall the best season for Cole and
basketball.
Music in School
As most know, music, art and P.E. in schools is minimal at
most. So at the kids school we have
artists and music teachers come in for short periods of time teaching the kids.
This six weeks of Mexican music (Music teacher standing with
Jo) was great as the kids played instruments that were all natural. Jo is
playing a turtle shell while Cole played a drum made of wood and donkey-hide.
They also played donkey jaw bones, clay flutes, water drum and goat toe-nail
rattles.
A 1 beer window job?
Jo and I made a quick trip to help with Rachelle and
Connie's RV window along with Janis.
The on-line directions stated that this job is a 1 beer job.
Well we managed to make this last at least 3, maybe it was 4
beers? I'm sure it would have only been
a 1 beer job if the sunshine hadn't been out warming us up.
These three ladies are the best work partners ever.
Doug enjoyed digging after gofers while we were working on
the RV window.
Oh he had such a good time!
47 Years
Jo baked (all by herself) my birthday cake this year.
Best cake ever!
How does 47 look on me?
The following day as I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and I
realized how tired I was from the busy weekend. The sun was shining down on the car making it warm and
inviting. I deiced that right then and
there was a good time for a nap. So I
closed my eyes and slept in the front seat of the car parked at the grocery
store for 1/2 hour. I felt energized to
get the groceries now and as I headed into the store I wondered how old I would
have to be before some one thought I might have died in my car and called for
help.
Jo in her new dobok uniform for taekwondo.
She as / is quite excited about this as you can see.
And then they broke out into dance.
They are so funny!
Jo wrapped up her art class and has asked to find other.
Though she was quite in class the teacher stated that she
always participated including putting her drawings up for critiques.
Dark Angel
Jo drew this from looking at another drawing from a book.
Tossing in this last picture of Jo during her most recent
class.
She is really having a good time and getting lots of
encouragement from her instructors.
