Pix - Small Town Christmas

I didn't take very many pix and they turned out crappy - too much troubleshooting, not enough photoshooting. Besides, the lighting conditions were tough and I needed to be able to concentrate to get great shots. (Using a flash is lazy!)

Loot

The small town christmas in bl*ssburg event was very successful. I scored this cute record bowl, maple cotton candy, regular maple candy, fudge in a cookie cutter, and some cute ornaments. I really wanted these cool lights but didn't have sufficient cash.

Counting change at the bar

I could put it on my card... But at $1.35/draft, it seems silly.

Small Town Christmas

We built a little ice rink today for our super cute Christmas festival
web

My brother and Shane put down the underlayer

The top layer is white plastic that gets lubed up to skate on. Shane picked it up in Cheektowaga on Wednesday.

Tonya was extremely persistent in getting this project together - she got to be the first skater. She and her husband Tom had their first date ice skating.

I skated and it started snowing - it was really a fun moment. (photo by Julie)

Mataya & Liam skated

More pix tomorrow after the event!

A review from the last workshop:

Such a wonderful, rich experience. If you had told me that such a diverse bunch of people could have bonded like we did, I would have laughed in your face. The learning was deep AND broad. Plus, the emotional connections were amazing! Yet it was fun too! L & L will always bring a smile to my face. ( To know what L & L is you have to come to a workshop ;-) )
