The week was spent mostly at home keeping busy with the usual tasks and the necessary upkeep, including defrosting the freezer (me) and fixing the water heater (Mike). Also our regular outings:
--Robotics (Mike), they only need two days now (Tuesdays and Saturdays) and fewer people to make the final changes in readiness for the first regional competition next weekend.
--LITE (Life Independent Through Exercise, me) meets twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. I have been teased about the following photo and headline in the local newspaper.

Today, Saturday, was a big day--Kayla's dance competition and Stephan's 40th birthday.
Results posted by her mom on Facebook:
Two Gold Medals for two solos ~~as group 5th and 4th place ~~ Special trophy in solo called "Beautiful port de bras"(movement of your arms) and group special trophy "Real Explosion" (good facial expression, and strong moves). What a way to end her final year of competition with Center Stage!
We watched her solo dances in the morning and then went to Stephan's open house.
In an earlier blog today I asked a question. What do you think, from looking at this photo? What if I tell you that nearly all of the many cards he received contained jokes.
Another fun week is over. It is time to go to bed, after changing the clocks.
Fun week! I love making pottery! And those peanuts looked oh so yummy!
ReplyDeleteBlessings on the week ahead!

How nice to visit with your extended family. Sounds like your week is very full of activities. The recipe for garrapinadas is similar to my candied pecans. I am sure they are very good. Congratulations to Kayla! You must be so proud.
ReplyDeleteI am working tomorrow. I don't know when we will all get together. :-(
Have a good week.
Another busy week at the Kochs! :)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the multitude of "over the hill" cards Stephan probably received. lol
That's great news about Kayla's many medals!!! She's such a lovely young lady.
The peanuts are making me hungry. I haven't had them yet...must remember to look for them next time we're in Bs. As. in the colder months.
Funny newspaper photo :) "Rita the Elderly" sounds like the name of a book. hahaha
Congratulation to Kayla! Wow! What great accomplishments!
ReplyDeleteIs that a bird bath I spy in the middle of the pottery?

Thank you for your contributions to Stephan's birthday party! He enjoyed himself, and thanks to your Horchata, I didn't have to make punch!

I was just talking about sugar coated peanuts with my dad - my housemate in Zambia used to make them all the time. Yum!
ReplyDeleteStephen looks like he's about to burst with happiness in that last picture - happy birthday to him!
P.S. Elderly? Really? Pshaw!
