STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE - NOT

Just made shortcakes for breakfast. And while waiting for the oven to heat, decided to clean the berries. I bought two big containers of them last night.

Woops.  This is all that's left.  I guess the boys decided to have a few after I went to bed.   Darn it!

MICHIGAN ADVENTURE

Sergei (in back, with hand up) at Michigan Adventure yesterday with the Summit Secondary.  This is not all of the kids, obviously.  I felt sorry for them all day because it was so cold and rainy, but apparently it was not raining there and it wasn't as chilly - and no one, hardly, was at the park - so they had an enormously good time.  I'm so glad.

A REFRESHING DRINK

 I bought this beverage at the Vietnamese market, for an adventure.  What an "interesting" flavor.  I was overwhelmed, it smells and tastes just like a greenhouse - redolent of dirt and fertilizer.  Craig said, "It tastes Iike dirt, with a side of hospital."  Ilya took a drink and said, "It tastes and smells like Kroger."  (Our grocery store.)  The weird part is that we are all right. 

CHAPEL

Hm...if my students had a camera I'd take it away from them.  Was I distracting myself, or what?  Actually, I could tell you what he said.

MOTHERS DAY

I think this is the first non-school Mothers Day gift I ever got from a child  (Aidan and Lydia sometimes remember as adults).  My sweet Sergei made this for me and had it waiting on the table. What a dear boy!

CHAPEL

Zhen and his friend carried the flags at Chapel today.  All tge news that's fit to print.
