Well since this blog is sort of cat themed. Every now and again I need to post some feline pics. Here is my cat Penny with some green eyed deep stares into infinity.
Green Eyes
Bring on the Steam
We went to our favorite Indian restaurant. But instead of the usual buffet, we ordered off the menu. We got a chance to try new dishes and Jasmine got the tandoori chicken, served fajita style. My dosa was delish and leftovers lasted about three meals.
Fishing Around
My past work place, Columbia Springs, had their annual Kids Fishing Festival. We got there early so there was no wait this year. (Last year was an hour in line). Jasmine went right up and caught her first fish instantly. It was a nice big juicy one. I was so proud she threw it back. But the second one she kept.
The weather was great, but really really windy. I got a chance to catch up with my former co-workers, we got fresh grilled burgers for lunch. (Meat and veggie!) And Jasmine got a tee-shirt to take home. Everyone had a great time. Except the fish.
Dance West 2013
Every year I take Jasmine to a dance performance. Right down the street from us is the Beaverton Arts Magnet school. We’ve been to their Dance West shows in the past, so I keep an eye out for new stuff.
I was happy to see the theater to be more filled up this time. Lots of great acts. We especially liked the tap dancing and the original senior pieces.
in Jasmine’s words…
“Today I saw the most incredible dances in a life time. There was hiphop, ballay, tap and gymnastics. The last dance was african.”
Poetry Coffeehouse
Jasmine’s class is finishing up a lesson plan on poetry. Today was their show and tell.
Parents joined their kids in the classroom to work on a family poem together. We also glanced through our child’s poetry journals. Then we all marched to the cafeteria to become the audience for poetry readings. Oh, no clapping is allowed – but you can snap your fingers in appreciation.
