Here it is, the last week of September. I’m still waiting for summer! I’m enjoying the cooler weather and open windows, but at the same time longing for the lazy, hazy days that are supposed to be summer in Southern Kentucky. We did manage lazy…
With the cut still not healed we spent the week at home. We watched the first installment of Ken Burns: Civil War. We also watched the entire 2nd and 3rd seasons of Haven, the latest episodes of Bones and Sleepy Hollow, and a few episodes of Drop Dead Diva. And we didn’t even remember the popcorn! There was some math in there somewhere and she reviewed a few science options for the year, settling with the one I used for her brother. (Woot! No $$!)
While Ashe hasn’t been able to manage her regular volunteer work at New Beginnings for the last three weeks thanks to her stitches, she was able to help out with their big fundraiser: Stable Soiree at Pine Springs Stable. Dinner, auction, and entertainment. Her first experience seeing the backstage work of a major fundraiser – what a great opportunity!
While she was bussing tables (and enjoying the dessert), her dad and I tried out a new restaurant in the city. It was INCREDIBLE! The menu is an interesting twist of German food with a Bosnian influence. The family who is running it spent time in Germany before settling here. Even though I’ve eaten tons of German food in my lifetime, I got to try something completely new! In fact, I made a point of trying something I’ve never had before. I love food – how it both connects us, yet shows our differences. Just as I suspected, Bosnian-German is very different from the American-German I grew up with, yet just as yummy!
Today we drove to Louisville, where Ashe manned a booth for her robotics team at the Louisville Mini-Maker Faire.
The marketing aspect of First Tech Challenge (FTC) is still a work in progress. But I did get her to smile for the camera.
