The Kids

Hey everybody... I'm finally getting around to posting photos! It took about 10 minutes for this one to load, so I don't know that I'm going to put any more up right now. We'll see. Anyhow, this is a photo I took last night at a School for the Deaf. We came to visit and they put on a show for us complete with drums, dancing, poems, songs... it was amazing. This school competes nationally in a music competition and they just took second place recently. I know, music and dancing probably isn't what comes to your mind when you think of deaf children, but they can feel the vibrations made by the drum and they have a sense of rythym that I can only dream of having. (That's probably not even how you spell rythym.) They made the outfits themselves and some had metal soda bottle caps that had been flattened and sewn on the clothes to make chiming sounds as they danced.

Ok, well I just tried to post another photo and failed, so I apologize. I'll try again another time. By the way, I want to congratulate several people... Nicole & Jason on their recent wedding and Lakshmi & Kevin on their recent engagement. Wish I was there to celebrate with you guys, but I'm there in spirit! Congrats! Libby
