It's celebration Kara day and boy is she a special little girl. When she smiles and her little dimple appears you want to eat her up. When she wakes up in the morning and its a bright happy lets go and tackle the world attitude. Kara's love for an ice cream can be captured everywhere. We have pictures of Kara eating ice-cream in Italy, Portugal, Barbados, beaches, cold snow days, Norfolk crabbing. ICE CREAM rules. Kara's heart is so huge she can swallow you up. She gets a tear in her eye watching animal stories on TV but does not like to show it. When it comes to Victoria it can go either way but still they love each other. Victoria was allowed to open some of her birthday presents, true sister love and then they were fighting.
So here is a cheers to Kara.
Kara smiled the whole weekend and I know she felt the love from far and near. Thank you to all the special people in our lives for making Kara's special day truly special.
I taught my first two private lessons on Saturday to adults. I was so nervous and my stomach was in knots. I so badly wanted to do well and offer a great service. The whole week I had been reading and preparing. I truly underestimated how hard it really is to learn how to swim. You could see the concentration on the swimmers faces and you could see the heart rates were off the scale. I so badly wanted them to zoom off and swim 10 lengths. They were battling to swim half a width. I so respect them for trying something new.
We had to buy ourselves a new lawn mover as the landlord never left one. The norm in Westport is for someone else to come and do the job. Leon was telling me we should help encourage the down turn of the economy and get FFerdinand to come help us. Well our economy is in a down turn at home so a a little help is needed. we bought a nice green one. it has a nifty handle you pull which self propels. it's like when you dance with someone professional and they filing you around. well when i have to turn a corner the legs lift up and I fly. I have to brisk walk moving the lawn. Damn fine machine. I said to Leon I could feel all the neighbours watching me operating my new machine. I then ran out of brown bags so asked the kids to light a fire so we could burn all the dead leaves which I am still trying to pick up from autumn. smoke everywhere. wait till I hang out my washing in summer and they see the panties. hanging washing outside is a real no no. How to make friendly neighbours come live with the schelhase family.
The kids planted tomatoes and beans which are now in the basement .
Leon cooked us a salmon fillet on a cedar piece of wood. the flavour was unbelievable. Victoria was made to eat fish and you could see she changed different shades of green the whole meal. She is a chicken nugget kind of girl.
All in all a great weekend. Tried but happy

Kara got given a mentos kit to make a bottle of coke explode. you can always have a look at utube videos. You add mentos to coke and the coke explodes. Great laugh.
