The Weekend Cheongsam Dress


Lots of Portugal nostalgia as I pulled out my mission stuff
Heritage Night at the our elementary school
A's kindergarten friend in her traditional Chinese cheongsam dress next to Amelia in the Minho outfit
(How many ancestors do you think were smiling down on this? I wish I would  have gathered all kids in traditional dress together.)
Visitors at my Portugal table asking "so where is Portugal again?"
Lots of interest in my old lady shawl
My new friend Smita's description of her mom's sari collection
Chatting with Renata about Brasil
Jubilant African dancers who forced me to get into it
Not many photos to show for the awesomeness of the night
A stack full of new books from the school Book Fair
Saturday morning breakfast date with Dan
Friends for an afternoon playdate and dinner
French toast with spiced apple topping
Last minute speaking assignment for Liz
This thought from another talk:
Wait on the Lord. "It comes when you start." Choose to act.
Freezer dinners. I love it when I have those.
Choir practice for Liz and kids
Discussion with the youth (aged 12-18) for Dan
