Shopping






Today I went shopping with my very good friend Hannah and her mom. We went to the Countryside village together and shopped the sidewalk sale (in the rain). We stopped at a florist shop and one of the employees gave us a mini botany class all about the flowers, I loved it!! Later on we went to string of pearls ( a yarn shop) and tried on the shawls and sweaters there. Thank you Mrs. V for bringing me shopping with you!

In the Studio




Today I was at a recording studio with some of my friends from our bright lights group. We recorded a song together, for the new Bright Lights Ministries CD. Thank you Rachel for being so patient and gracious with us.

Stitching




Today I found a new setting on my camera! How it works is you can take up to three pictures and then the camera will "stitch" the pictures together. Here are just a few of my attempts to try it out. I still need to work on it.

Good friends

Breakfast this morning at the Vogltanz house.

Jazz on the Green



Last week we went to jazz on the green at Joslyn art museum down town with some of our good friends. We enjoy listening to the music, visiting, and playing tag "on the green". Before the music started and during intermission we went inside the museum and looked around. What fun!!
Elliot and the other boys helped some of our fellow "blanket neighbors" look for a lost screw in the grass for their fold up table, sadly the screw was never found.

Pierogies







This week and last week I have been making a lot of pierogies. Pierogies are polish dumplings, you can use potato, cheese, cabbage, or fruit filling. Last week my Dad taught me how to make them. My favorite kind to make (and eat) are potato. This week I taught a group of friends how to make them, we had a lot of fun together.
