Day 1095: Telestrations

Great new game!  Our friends introduced us to a delightful game similar to the concept of the telephone game only using illustrations to convey a word.  It assumes people can draw.  I can not draw!  At all!  Each person gets a word and draws it.  The next person writes what they think the object is and then passes the book on.  We tried hula hoop, Firefighter, Swing set, submarine, but the funniest was gorilla.  My first drawing looked like a snowman, but the next one Clare thought was a buffalo.  We laughed so hard, we were crying and breathless.  We really missed playing games when the boys were home.

More progress on the book. I gave Kathy a packet of nine chapters to review.  It's a bit scary to have it read by someone outside my close circle of advisers.  It's time.  Then Margaret agreed to write some reflections on the transition from student leader to adult leader as well as her techniques for getting kids to know each other.   Then I also made final touches to the classes chapter to put that one to rest.  Before our guests came, I started reviewing the field sanitation chapter, also known as "Dig a Hole and Do What?" It doesn't need much work, fortunately.

We hosted the musical staff meeting for the upcoming production of "Anything Goes."  Another year, my 17th, Steve's 15th.  What a wonderful collection of dedicated, talented individuals!
