One more post today before I get caught (see below)

Flash back to last Saturday....

The school hosted a brunch for all the graduating seniors last Saturday. The kids met with the counselor for a few hours in the morning and talked about repatriating and living on their own at college. The parents were invited to join them for the afternoon. We had one on one time with our student....they had a set of questions that we answered and then we listened to the Counselor read the Dr. Seuss book, Oh the places we will go. That is a perfect book for the graduating senior!

Afterwards the Mr. Harris gave us a tour of the new high school. All I can say is WOW! Our senior were just a little green as they are just a year early to enjoy the new facility.

Bud, Amanda, and Abi ready for the tour....

What a fashion statement!!! I think we need one in every color!

After the tour we went to Yu Garden in search of a dress makers mannequin. Abi wanted one she could drape fabric on and take to school with her next year.

We went several places...I thought I knew just where to find one....but I was in the wrong building. We finally found the "right" building but they were closed. We were very disappointed.

With the help of our "ribbon lady" and some might fine Pictionary we walked to another area of the "notions village". With luck we found a store that was still open.

We found a "body" shop and we were immediately directed to follow the sales guy into an alley...

I started to have flash backs from a previous visit to this street with my friend Teri...

Down the alley....into his house...and then into the storage room... Okay....so it was a little creepy but Abi was there so I wasn't scared.
In the storage room... Who has a room full of "models"???

Ladder to the "upstairs" storage area....We measured Abi and found just the perfect model...Her name is now Sally...

Happy shopper....
