1, 2, 3, BLASTOFF!

Every year, the 3rd grade builds rockets and shoots them off.
Xander was just sooooo excited about his rocket, Ruby & I had
to go and watch.
Little did I know it was a long and dangerous affair.

Patiently waiting in line after an hour of watching others.

Disregard the mohawk.
Xander is in a phase and loves gelling up his
hair in different ways.

They set the rockets up in pairs.

Then they show the kids how to blast off.
Many of the other classes came out to the field
to watch during class.

1, 2, 3, Blast Off.... Was the chant heard repeatedly all morning.
It was a wonderful experience watching these kids learn
physics at its best and get excited about it.

This is Xander's rocket having lift off. His made it about 10 feet up
before it fell. A few shot straight up and spit out their little
parachutes on their way back down. Many others
shot sideways, backwards, towards the guys shooting them.
Ruby & I stood behind home plate with the sky high fence.
Wouldn't you know it, a rocket just missed Ruby by mere inches on its landing.

12 Wonderful Years

Saturday was mine and Larry's 12 year anniversary.  We enjoyed an absolute wonderful weekend together.  Larry was able to get off work friday at a decent time and did not have to go in on saturday.  And on Sunday, he did not have the early morning church meetings, so we were able to drive together.  As a matter of fact, we were able to enjoy a beautiful Christmas cantata on a gorgeous Sabbath morning. Friday evening we enjoyed  Don't ask me how I talked Larry Denzil into this, but I did and I enjoyed every minute of it. This was such a happy, girlie movie and I truly did enjoy every moment of it.  I love musicals and especially love music of the 70's.  I could remember so many of the songs as if they were new.  Listening to them in my dad's '73 camaro as he picked me up from the day care. Wow, how time flies. On saturday, I enjoyed breakfast that Larry prepared with the kids.  It was so nice to not have to cook.  Notice I did not say clean.  He did leave the mess fo...
