Hats
All these hats were packed away in a box for many years. They all belonged to my grandma, grandpa, and great-grandma. My parents recently gave them to me. Yeah, they will get dusty now and won't be protected as well, but what's the point in leaving them hidden in a box?
G: Who wore the flower hat?
Me: My grandpa.
G: Really?
Me: Yes.
G: That is so cool!

VegFest 2010
Neither one of these girls have eaten meat their entire lives (except for one unfortunate bite into a burrito once).

That's my girl!
Miss G had a very busy weekend. Thursday and Friday night she had her play performance. She had lots of parts in the play and even had some solo singing bits. What a brave girl! She was great!
After the play her science teacher from last year said to me, "You know, I really like G. She's really unique and sure of herself." I told him thank you and that was very nice to hear. Then we both laughed at ourselves and said that we were the complete opposite when we were her age.
Her dance competition was on Saturday. Her team are the girls at the top of the bleachers in the blue T-shirts.
Dancing
After the competition they had a drill down. This is where G always shines. She competed against more than 200 kids, and she won!!!
The top 10:
(She doesn't usually wear make-up. It was for competition and the entire team wears it.)
R and A were there too...
We are all very proud of her!

The Church Band
The Church.
I've loved them for years.
Perhaps I should clarify.
I've loved the band called The Church for years.
I've hated the church for even more years.
I've been listening to The Church for about 25 years.
I've been not listening to the church since before I can remember.
The Church played in Portland last night.
It was a great show.
They did a number of songs that I've been listening to for more than half my life, which pleased me....
Hotel Womb
Reptile
and of course
Under the Milky Way.
New album -Untitled #23 - is great.
Steve Kilbey
Marty Wilson Piper
What stood out most about the show...
Steve Kilbey's voice is unbelievable.
Marty Wilson Piper is the most amazing guitar player I've ever seen.
MWP clearly loves to play. Seeing the joy he was experiencing made me joyous.
MWP's appearance has changed so much.
SK and MWP interacted with the audience quite a bit, which is always a bonus.
Must try the veggie burger at The Lamp.
Pass on the fries.

In just a little less than a year, she'll be a teen
We celebrated G's birthday at my parent's house yesterday. G wants to buy a marimba and so she told everyone she wanted money for her birthday.
The beginning....
The middle....
The end...
She started counting her money, which of course was interrupted and had to be restarted thanks to her grandpa...
So then her dad sat with her and made sure grandpa wasn't able to pull off another one of his shenanigans ....
She didn't get quite enough money for a marimba, but she'll get one soon because her dad is going to cover the rest.
It was a good day. I'm sure I'd have different thoughts if it was a drum set she wanted.
Noodly boy loves the camera....
