Recent Activities May 2009


Since the little girls have been gone, I have had a dramatic change in my activities. I have so many very good friends who help to make my life fun and interesting. We've been to an opera, a dance concert, and a few other concerts, today we went to the wonderful "Reflections of Christ" exhibit in Olympia. If you haven't seen it or you can't, please Google that title, you will see and experience something extraordinarily beautiful which will touch your heart.
I don't have any pictures to go with this yet, but I might be able to include a fun one because I just learned how to scan at Kinko's. I also have a new camera which I am very excited about. When I brought it home in the box, I followed the directions and read the manual first. Two days later as Iwas ready to try it....no camera! I had the box from the one on display. So I got a new one and a new box.
My piano lessons are wonderful. This time I am really making progress. I can do a lot more than I could on the organ, but I still practice the one in the church too. My piano teacher invited me for Mother's Day. She lost her mother recently. She was a good friend and I have good memories of their family when they were little kids, and her sister was one of my campers at Girls' Camp. So I had a nice day.
For eight weeks I will be taking a drawing class called "Faces and Features." I started doing this several years ago, and then I had to drop it. But I am enjoying it again. I am the least capable in the class, but Grandma Moses started at 90, I believe.
I also continue my gym workouts and I'm tutoring a couple of young boys in math. Well, I'm making myself tired just thinking about doing all these things.
