Oops! I did it again...

Late last night I did up a page and posted pictures from the Richmond MCQ sew-in. Then I hit the Blogger spell checker, which wiped everything out. So here is a more brief version. Click the link to get to the pictures. MCQ is a great cause and these events are a lot of fun.

While we were in Richmond, I found a HobbyTown right next door to the JoAnn I was sent to. Inside I talked myself into an R/C electric helicopter, which has become a source of great consternation to me. I do fine with fixed wing aircraft, but I'm convinced that helicopters are aircraft of the broken wing variety. Well, at least mine is at the moment. They don't really fly anyway, they beat the air into submission.

The kids had their "farewell concert" at Grace tonight. Although the choir was somewhat downsized due to vacations and some of the seniors being off to do their thing, they sounded great. Tomorrow morning they depart on their tour to a town outside Philly, where they will perform I believe three times. The kids are staying with different families from a church up there where they are performing and they get to tour Philadelphia and visit a theme park. It's a 4 day trip that they've been looking forward to for a long time.

Jason received his award from the school system in the mail today. We missed the presentation because the event was scheduled for the same night as his final school concert. It's a cool little engraved acrylic thing.

I received something special in the mail as well. My first check for a published article from Fox Publishing. I guess that makes it official, I'm a professional writer. Unfortunately I've been mired in saw dust lately rather than writing. I'm about to hang up the shadow box gig so I can concentrate my efforts where they belong.

For tonight, I'm going to go ahead and post this before I lose it!
