The kids returned home from shopping just as I was leaving. So I stopped and came back inside to see what Nick bought. He got a lot of T's, in shades of black and white. He got new shoes (also black) socks (white) and pants( blue.) He is going to be rather monochromatic this year I guess. He usually gets some orange, red and green. Nick likes color. I see a bit of his sister's influence in his choice of new clothing. But I guess that is to be expected. She considers herself to be a fashion Diva. She began working in a teen clothing store when she was sixteen. She will be nineteen her next birthday, so she has been working for almost three years now. And all at the same store. The woman that she works for is so dependent on Ana for buying and advertising, I don't know what she would do without Ana.
Ana does seem to have her finger on the pulse of what the young girls want to wear. She comes home from work beaming because her clothing choices are selling so well. However, I am not so sure that she fully appreciates the "pulse" in fashion selection for a 13 year old boy.
Well I guess the trip was labeled a success. That job done for another year. Yeh!!
Off The Beaten Path

- Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

Nick's New Clothes
Sunday, May 4
Changing of the Guard
This ceremony is called Changing of the Guard, during which the Seniors "pass the torch" to the Juniors, amid a bevy of acknowledgements and speeches. This "show" was new to me, having not seen it in the past. They didn't have this type of ceremony in California. With over 300 students it was a rather long, although, nice ritual. The Seniors pass lighted candles to the Juniors. But after sitting on a stadium bench for almost 3 hours, I was plenty glad when it was over. I tried to get a decent picture, and couldn't, there wasn't enough light and for closeups I can never hold the camera still enough. But for some reason, I was able to take a movie. This picture is very brief, and you only get a glimpse of my daughter as she peaks over the tops of the other heads. Ana is the one with the short hair.

Open House
Tonight was open house at Nick's new school. He moved from Woodland Middle School over to Bartow Academy. He likes it there and he says all of the teacers are nice. I went and met them tonight, and I agree they are all very nice. It was a good change for him. It is only for the end of this year but it has already made a big difference in his attitude towards going to school. Sometimes change is a good thing.
