At the beginning of Addison's riding lesson Dave rode first. He explained what he wanted Addy to know, and physically demonstrated what and what not to do.

I'm finally back to working on my art journal. I've never used washi tape before, so I added little bits to these pages - tiny green mesh and turquoise/white check.

I know it might sound funny, but I've finally decided to learn how my camera really works ;) Recently I went totally crazy with food photography & food styling, 'practice makes perfect' they say, so who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to do this kind of stuff for living? :)

During today's teen program, Pizza &... at the Avondale Regional Branch Library, teens learned to play the ukulele! "Frere Jacque," "The Hokey Pokey," "Jingle Bells," and "Oh, Christmas Tree" were sounding lively with this group of active learners! After the lesson they enjoyed some pizza.

My lessons involved about thirty seconds of instruction on land, then a few minutes of shouted instruction from shore while I flailed around on the board. But I managed. I guess if you're ten years old you get more attention.

In preparation for the ship's presentation of "Dancing With the Stars at Sea", they offered dance lessons in the Samba, Salsa and Jive. Then each of the ship's professional dancers chose one of the best of the passengers to be their partner for the competition. Glenn and one of the ladies at our dinner table paired up to try their hands (or should I say feet) in learning the Samba. They had fun, but neither progressed to the next round.
