Last day of e-learning for the week! The foster twins headed out to another foster care situation. We wish them so much good fortune! Final dress tonight for It's a Wonderful Life (more). Jamie had to create a new little make-up kit as his "Sound of Music Box" is locked in at First Company from the March shutdown, right after the second performance of God's Favorite.
That cigar reamer is the bomb! |
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... |
Matteo's commercial art project - a cereal box design. |
E-Learning Day number.... Oh, who knows. More of it. We finished up delivering all the TimberCreek Church Kids Christmas bags. Another rehearsal for Jamie tonight. Filming is Saturday and that's it. Get tickets to watch it online here.
Matt is sending back rave reviews of the Beaver Creek Lodge and its Alpine+Antlers restaurant. |
Hump day. And a birthday! And lots of e-learning continues. At least we hope they're learning something. Just saw news that some area school districts were considering the continuation of e-learning into January. The lack of wisdom and courage in our leaders is astonishing. Nana and Papa had a great "outdoor" lunch at P.F. Chang's in a tent they put up in the parking lot. Toasty warm. Loved the Korean Bulgogi Lettuce Wrap. Matt's out at Beaver Creek Lodge for a book-finishing retreat; says it's an amazing place. Lynn and Jamie are planning a stay out there next week...

On the parking lot. |
Two "smoked" drinks at P.F. Chang's. |
Happy Birthday! from P.F. Chang's, card and all. |
And from a real store. |
AJ made the top for Jonny. Still needs the stick trimmed. |
Tada! Fina's handiwork, a pillow case. |
Matteo and Papa were in line 50 minutes. Not bad. |
AJ made cherry dump cake. |
Nana made beef stroganoff from scratch. |
E-learning continues. Tonight's movie was Alien Xmas; don't bother. Puzzle work has been very limited since the foster twins arrived and e-learning began.
AJ's helping Jonny with a school project. Making tops. |
Monday. The good news is that Matteo went back to in-person school. He said it was a great day! But that did leave 5 at home doing e-learning. This Monday did go a little smoother than last Monday. Jamie started tech week this evening which culminates in final filming on Saturday (see It's a Wonderful Life on the Theatrics page).
Chick-Fil-A is always a hit. |
AJ beat Papa. |
They were cackling with each other the whole time. |
After online church in the morning (TimberCreek), many of us met up at Fox Run Park for some coffee, hot chocolate, and a little fellowship. Tracy had her Kids Bags ready to go with various Christmas activities for families including an Advent calendar and the makings of a birthday cake for Jesus. Nana's working on a little something-something in the quilting workshop. We had take-out dinner from the Club tonight (prime rib!) and Jamie followed a horse-drawn sleigh onto the Club grounds - being pulled by two of the horses (percherons) Jamie "knows" from the Foundation. The Teroldego from Wolff Vineyards went quite nicely with the prime rib. And maybe the best news of the day, the Chiefs/Broncos game was actually pretty good (not a wipe out).
Ready for pick up at our 1pm gathering at Fox Run. |
In Santa's workshop... |
