Becky asked Sophie to pick some tomatoes earlier this week. "But there are wasps!" she complained. After putting on jeans, a jacket, boots, leather gloves and sunglasses, she went to pick tomatoes. And luckily no wasps stung her on the nose.
Sophie registered for middle school on Thursday. She found out she's assigned to the green team and has the same homeroom as her best friend. She also got her locker combination and found her locker. The 6th graders each get their own locker while the 7th and 8th graders have to share. School starts in 9 days and Sophie is very excited.
On Friday we went to a luau held at the retirement home in our neighborhood (they like to call themselves "an active adult community.") They celebrated their 1st anniversary by inviting the neighborhood to a big party. We ate great food and watched some hula dancers. We especially enjoyed the fire dancer at the end of the party. Personally, we are ready to move in to the retirement home. Included in the rent are amenities like housekeeping, 24 hour dining room with a gourmet chef, fitness classes, a movie theater, a putting green. They have on-site beauty and spa services. They're just not ready for this cute crew. Here they are dressed for the party. Sophie made the flowers that she and Helen are wearing in their hair.

Sophie has always seemed so creative and fun. I am hoping that growing up doesn't change her nature. Her wasp protection seems impenetrable.
I've never thought of a retirement home as a great vacation destination--but gee whiz it sounds great! Good luck to Sophie with Middle School!
