It's already Tuesday March 3!! Time has flown by since the last time I caught up with all of you. I went scrapbooking over the weekend and finished my Wine Weekend album! I'm very happy with the way it turned out and wish I could show it to you.
Yesterday I went to my parents house right after work to deliver my mom her birthday present. It was a heritage scrapbook of her parents from baby pictures to the point when they got married. I also included some letters from her mom and her grandma. Again I wish I could share it with all of you!
After delivering my mom's birthday gift I went to visit one of my oldest and dearest friends. I saw all the work that her husband has been doing on the house, it looks amazing! Then we went out to happy hour and spent the next couple of hours talking non-stop. It was fantastic. I didn't get home until it was almost my bed time.
It always amazes me how time gets away from me. I will be catching up with all of you after work today!
All along one of the streets in our little town they put up banners of 11 youth's artwork. One of the youths is Dancing Daughter. Last weekend I was able to get a couple shots of her banner.
Here is DD with her banner.
And here is a close up of the banner so you can better see the art.
She's pretty excited to have her art displayed!
All last week DD stayed at school until 6pm learning the Drill Team routine so she could try out for the team this week. Unfortunately on Friday night she went bowling with friends, got a strike, jumped up in excitement and landed badly on her ankle! Now it's sprained and she is hobbling around. Luckily they are going to let her try out without doing all the marching and other hard leg moves. She will try out doing all the arm movements. I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
Now time has gotten away from me again and I need to get ready to leave for work!
Have a great day!
That is so cool--does she get to keep a banner?

Good luck to your daughter! Hopefully she can do it without the ankle.
Congrats to her on having her artwork displayed. YAY!

Congrats to Dancing Daughter on her art being shown! I guess there is no trying out for the Drill Team w/ a sprain, huh?
Just FYI... Our daughter did the exact same thing & ended up with a blood clot in her leg, which took nearly a year to totally recover from. So, if pain continues for long, you might get it checked out.

It is nice to take part in a art and culture festival. I think it is a lovely gift to your mother on her birthday from you.

I am always encourage the art events. It is nice that Burien celebrates art and culture. It is important to introduced our culture to the world.
