Green Milk?

It’s been a theme between Hannah an Amber for a week now. Melinda posted a picture of her with green milk when they (Hannah and Amber) posted a picture of them eating at a Mexican restaurant. greenmilk

Melinda sang “Girls Just want to have fun” in the spring Choral show at school. Wish I could hear her! She wont sing for me.. But I bet she sounds good.

Melinda swimming in a meet. She has good form. I have seen her in action, and it’s smooth and has symetry.

Cotton candy and Model Ts.

We went to one of Hannah’s friends 16th birthday party today. Ally, the girl Hannah rides to school with turned 16 recently. I brought the cotton candy machine over, and everyone had fun making cotton candy.

Earlier this morning, I helped the North Augusta Elementary School with their spring Carnival. That worked out well too.

Last week, I visited my friend Dominique. He had a surprise in his garage he wanted to show me. He purchased a un-restored Model T! I think he should just leave it in his old garage.. It looks right at home, just the way it is.

2 Weekends ago, we went to the Midlands Astronomy club cookout. Nice dark sky, Hannah saw more stars than she has ever seen. (at least according to her) She also noticed “Coma Bernice” in the sky, a cluster of galaxies of note. Here she is with Charles and his nice ‘scope.

This is a 24 inch homemade reflector.. you had to climb a ladder to look into the eyepiece. The guy made the 24 inch mirror himself! The sky is amazing with this much light gathering.. It’s almost like looking at a slightly white background with bright stars in front… It makes you realize just how many stars are out there!
