This past Friday, Michael had the opportunity to speak to a large group of Indianapolis teens after a Pacer game. I would describe the evening like a progressive lock-in, with the groups alternating from one activity to another i.e. bowling, skating, gym, etc. The evening starts out with a Pacer game and is followed by a short message (this year, given by Michael) before the groups scatter to go to all the activities. When Michael speaks to large groups, I’m always more nervous for him than he is! Somehow, I was drafted to help with the “Let’s Make a Deal” game. I gave away a few great prizes as well as a few that weren’t so good. It was a fun night! If you think I look odd in the one picture, I agree–I was somehow distorting my body and plastering on a bizarre face, with the goal of enticing a contestant to pick my prize.
We drove back late Saturday night to be back for a 9:00 a.m. (ARE THEY CRAZY???) speech contest that Michael was participating in on Saturday morning. He won his contest and will be moving on to a Regional contest in Indianapolis in May! Yeah, Michael!
Saturday afternoon, my parents headed into town and we went to eat at one of our favorite (hole-in-the-wall) restaurants in Louisville, The Viatamese Kitchen. MMMMMmmmmm.. Mom and I stayed up until midnight youtube-ing…lol. Maybe I shouldn’t admit that, but we had fun doing so… It’s always WONDERFUL having them in town. They brought several hostas that they had split from their own garden! WHOOHOO! We’re trying to figure out our landscaping and garden, and their generous hosta donation will help keep the costa down! I’m getting corny now. Must stop here.
Happy Monday!
