Lovely and Amazing

We spent a wonderful (and cold) day at the NAIA PowWow. There was so much to see and do. We watched a woman weave a basket from swamp cane, women strung bead necklaces and weaved blankets. There were so many storytellers, musicians and dancers. We were even able to meet the actress who provided the voice for Disney's Pocahantas. It was an especially nice day because we shared it with friends. It's such a pleasure to see DD blossom with her friends. We all had a great time in spite of the cold. Did I mention it was cold?

When we got home, we turned on the heat in the house and stood on the register until feeling returned to our feet. Okay, it was mostly me. Then she opened a store where she conned Daddy and me out of $2.00. But it was good practice for later, when the sums will increase... Also, we were able to practice counting by 5s, 10s, and identifying coins. She's getting pretty good at identifying money. Always an excellent skill to have.

We ended up parked on 109 for about 40 minutes on the way home; there was an accident. I was so thankful for the heater!
