...a nugget of purest Green

I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest Green! Finally my Legal Permanent Resident card aka Green Card has arrived.

The weekend was once again very busy. Friday evening we went to see the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats put on an amazing show. The balanced, juggled, climbed, jumped, threw and lifted just about everything and hardly made any mistakes. It was a lot of fun and the kids sat there in complete awe as they performed.

Mrs P had another 5km race on Saturday morning and she finished second in her age group and was the 8th woman to finish too. She also knocked a couple of minutes off her previous time and completed it in 22m 08s. Afterwards there was a 1km fun run and the kids wanted to do it so I was "volunteered" to take part to look after Sofie, while Mrs P did her best to keep up with Raina. Sofie was amazing and ran about 80-90% of the 1km, the rest she walked, never stopping once. Never saw Raina for dust as she was off from the gun, but Mrs P said she was very fast and finished in the first 10.

Saturday Evening we went to a "send off" party for Grammy and one of her friends. They left today on a 6 week road trip across the southern half of the USA, taking in the Grand Canyon, Texas and a whole host of other places.

Sunday we went to graduation party for a friend of the family. He's off to University of Pennsylvania, the fifth ranked University in the US, only behind behind Princeton, Harvard, and Yale! That's some feat and I'm sure he'll do very well there.
