Airplanes, Argentina, Art

Hola, and Happy May!

We are having a happy weekend, with Frank “visiting” for a couple of days. He returned from Argentina & Brazil safely, and has a “long layover” in California “on his way back” to Boston.

LAST spring, Frank and I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and last week he browsed some of the same markets and museums that we went to last year. Here is an optical illusion Dot Painting from one of the museums. If you stare at it, the dots seem to move...

The second is of Frank standing in front of a HUGE sculpture of Brazilian explorers. These men were responsible for the founding of the country. (BTW, the explorers themselves were NOT that BIG…see, with sculptures, you can carve people a lot bigger than they actually were in real life…)David helped with the Youth Yard Sale on Saturday. This was to earn money for camps they’ll attend this summer. The kids collected donated items from congregation members, and one family said they could have the yard sale at their house. So bright and early last Saturday (5:30 a.m.—wow!), they all went to set up and price things, and spent the morning selling.

Teresa went to a "sleepover" Friday night, where the 10 of them pretended they would sleep in the family camper/RV, parked in front of the house! (Sounded to me like a perfect answer to not having basements out here: Send them to the camper!) She is definitely sleep-deprived, but had a good time.

And Kara has been working on her front teeth…one is definitely more loose than the other, but they’ll probably both be gone at the same time for a little while.

Hope your transition into May was a good one. Love, Kari
