Beautiful

As previously mentioned, I went to the SLE End of Year Banquet. It was just lovely. We had a buffet followed with hot, fresh beignets for dessert. The girls were given awards, some funny other sentimental. It was remarkable to see so many of the students I work with out of their school uniforms and acting grown up. Below are just a few of the beautiful and talented young ladies I get to work with each day.

I just got home from a wonderful celebration of commitment and talent for the SLE Step/Dance Team. I'm sorting my pictures now but here's a preview.

This is Banana. Banana is a ham. She won the Drama Queen Award along with the Show Stopper Award. Neither was surprising.

Dad Came {and Home Food}

Dad came to visit last Thursday. We hadn't seen him in almost a year. We opted for a sushi dinner at Edo and dessert at Molly Fontaine Lounge. Both were delicious! He brought us some home food {translation: food that I love which is available in Baltimore but not in the Memphis}. I am now fully stocked on UTZ chips, Rapa Scrapple, Esskay chipped beef, and Berger cookies. Funny story: Dad flew down with the food packed in his carry-on. When the plane hit it's cruising altitude all FIVE bags of chips blew open. Alas, they weren't going to last long anyway.
