It started on the 23rd of May, when Sarah assembled her friends
for a salad dish
a pasta dish
a chicken dish
and a salad
but Ben
was more interested in the bread
and I had my Diet Snapple
so I was happy. Ben made it to the (almost) clean plate club
as Sarah and Suzanne
Claire and Joyce
and Ryan (with a penchant for moving trunks) and John
welcomed Claire's new friend
and Jane
was incognito about finishing her food
and mine
though the light was better
for this picture.
Two nights later, on May 25, the tables
were set, the servers
were ready, the plates
were there as was the carrot and asparagus dish
and the special dish
that ChefRob
had prepared and we admired the umbrella stand
and the flowers
as the bar
was assembled and the flowers
and chess board
set the tone for bread and roll
as Sandra arrived to be greeted by Suzanne
and there followed the picture of the two
who organized the meal and the two chef's (ChefRob and ChefLarry)
who were cooking it.
On Thursday, May 27, I took a picture of Mark Hansen
of the English department who is staying and then headed off to
Ben's school in the evening. This boy greeted us
as I took a self portrait
Jane
appeared distracted
and Alan
wondered what the sleepover would be like. Ben's class filed in
and Suzanne
settled in behind us as the kids
sat down and the drama teacher
set the context. The children settled
as the first story was read
and then a character emerged
to tell his tale. Next, Ben
emerged and chased Joel
before they came together
and Ben
watched Joel catch some sleep
before they headed off
and the next story
could be told. There followed another story
before Ben put on the Russian hat
for his tale of Sam Levin
who made the trip
from Russia's cold weather. The story unfolded
and Sam (Ben)
was still in his hat with Bobby as the class gathered
and a picture was missed
for further gathering
before they dispersed
and the story continued
complete with finger props
to end the tale. After a few more stories
