Saturday Snap – Multicultural Fusion

Pretty fun event featuring world-renowned hoop dancer Terrance Littletent and two performers who had previously been with Cirque du Soleil telling a story of cultures coming together.  Music by the amazing Andino Suns.  MCd by longtime friends of my inlaws.  And the food was pretty awesome too!

Mom and dad got invited to a rooftop thank-you event for clients of their financial advisor and managed to convince their advisor to extend the invitation to Shea and I even though our investment portfolios differed by more than a few zeros at the time!

Back From Camping…

…and lots of amazing moments and memories: * Great visit with Shea’s cousin and family who are back from New Zealand for a month * About ten books on my “To Read During Camping” list.  (One book, not even on my list, is all I get read – thought I do work through a 377 […]
