Kamishibai Training

The training was GREAT! At least I did not cut off my fingers!

Flickr Pic

Found this picture on Fickr! We have a Mongolian hat like this at home on the table.

I can not remember what the hat is used for, but I loved the photo!

Dinner with the Mongolian Ambassador

Archers practice for competition at annual Naadam Festival in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

I wonder if they will be shooting arrows nearby???

Found a Lost Friend

Last night , a long lost Girl Scout friend and fellow trainer appeared on Facebook!

What a great surprise!

Paint Sample Journals

So, we finally know what to do with all of the paint samples we "borrow" from the stores!

The teens are making small journals out of the samples. We are folding over the flap - like a match book - and stapling in small pieces of paper.

Enjoy!

Volunteers are Awesome!

Our volunteers are OUTSTANDING!

I had a program today on finger weaving with over 35 children. It was wonderful to have extra hands to help out all of the children!

If you have not tried finger weaving or you have forgotten how, check out the following sites:

We had a great time!

Mongolia Calls

A call actually came from Mongolia last night! Allison called!!! It was raining so hard, I couldn't even hear her!!!! SAD!

Fun and Games!

The weekend was spent doing yard work! I finally planned the flowers in the front flower boxes and on the post. It is amazing how much time that takes! Now, I am planting flowers in the backyard.

Kennywood Day!

Today is Kennywood Day!

School Day at Kennywood! I remember riding the coasters and screaming! It is hard not to enjoy the french fries and the corn dogs! Did you ever win a prize from the person who guessed your age or weight???

Check It Out!

Check Out the audio books that are available through the library catalog. I typed in the word fiction and WOW! I received quite a list of choices. I choose:

Death Dance: An Alexandra Cooper MysteryUnabridged.
by Fairstein, Linda A.

Now if I had some sort of techno device to download the book to, that would be really great--

Alas, I do not. My children have all sorts devices--but mom does not--maybe some day.

June - Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit!

Today is the Day!

I was brought up to say "rabbit - rabbit - rabbit" at the beginning of each month - it is suppose to bring Good Luck!
