Lake and Celebration Day

Saturday we had a celebration for Jory, who, after sparring for 45 minutes straight, earned his black belt in Tae Kwon Do. This was NOT my camera, but I had the privilege of taking these pictures for the family. They turned out REALLY well, I think!

Kim (the Tae Kwon Do Teacher), and Ashley (whom I taught sign language to when I lived here)

We also snuck out to the lake yesterday afternoon, and had a quick, but lovely time.

Kyla and Eva (Seth and Virginia's little girl)

Small Town Activities

I took care of the kids again today, and helped them make cookies for Grandpa and Grandma when they came home. Here's the note that Cheyne wrote for them.

HOMECOMING WEEKEND!!!  Getting ready to watch the big parade.

The Scottie Dog Mascot.  Looks a little scarey, if you ask me.

An old firetruck from way back when.

A bagpipe marching band from Saskatoon, SK, that comes down to join the show every year.

Zerbe Brothers train

What the ladies did during the parade.

Family Pancake Dinner

Doyle loves to get his family together and make a pancake dinner with all the fixin's for them.

Eggs, sausage, bacon, etc.

It's a family ordeal to get it all made at the same time.

And the culinary delights are marvelous.

I love being a part of this family when I'm in town!

First Football Game

My little friend, Gage, had his first football game ever last night. He was REALLY good with 2 tackles to his credit!!

Half time, workin' hard, and lookin' sweaty!

NICE!

First football injury ever. . .got it on the last tackle when someone grabbed his arm.  He was pretty proud of this one.  ;o )

Visit To Glasgow

I made it to Glasgow, MT, on Saturday, 2 days earlier than I had hoped. It's great to visit again!

Many meals have already been had, but I got some snapshots with friends of this one in particular. 

Ordering pie in a small town. . .you wanted bacon on it. . .you GET bacon on it!!

Great friends Karen, Richard, Kari, and Connie.

The whole gang.  More to come!

My Life in a Photo Blog

I had the privilege (?) of flying with the paparazzi . . . er. . . my Japanese former flight attendant classmate, Yasu, on my last trip to Frankfurt. Before the flight, he messaged me and BEGGED me to work in the galley in business (which I do pretty much every flight anyway). I told him I would. What I didn't know was that he was going to follow me around with a camera! BUT, it gives me a rare opportunity to show you EXACTLY what I do on most days I'm working. Enjoy!

Our flight was delayed two hours due to huge thunderstorms in the area.  We wait with the passengers!

Finally on board, counting the food to make sure we have enough for everyone.

(Insert Picture Pause Here, as Yasu was too busy to take any!!)  Then it was on to plating the Entree's.  If you look closely, you can see that by now, I'm sweating!

Cheese and grapes, anyone??  My "fancy" set up for course 4 of 5.

And, the grand finale (of that service anyway), the ice-cream cart, with SIX choices of toppings for your enjoyment.  Guten Appetit!

Nap time!!  or, in my case usually, rest time!  Sleep is hard to come by on an airplane.

The final course. . .the perfect cheeseburger.  At least, on the way home it is.  (Can you tell I'm getting tired of the camera?? :o)

After clearing the airplane, we ride the "people mover" in Dulles to get from the airplane to customs.  These buses are ancient.

Do I feel as bushed as I look??  YES!!

There you have it!  Trust me. . .it's not as glamorous as it sounds.
