Beautiful Sky This Morning

It snowed over the weekend and the morning skies have looked incredible since. I was out warming up the cars this morning and the sky looked so beautiful. I had to stop and take a photo. The snow will be gone tomorrow because a big rainstorm is on the way and all this will be replaced by the drab brown that we’ve seen for weeks.

Back to regular class this week after buddy week last week. We’re learning some new techniques and for the next six weeks we have Sensei Saunders teaching. Today Sensei explained how to do a sprawl properly. I have never learned how to do this technique properly. It made so much more sense when he taught it. Don’t get me wrong, I love learning from Sensei Brochu and before him Sensei Wilson but when I started these were things you just did by watching how other people did them. Each instructor has given their own spin on things and each one has taught me so much along the way. Even Eva is warming up to Sensei Saunders and his teaching style. I noticed that he gave her some great pointers today during her class, too.

The Fourth Wise Man

4th Wiseman

We cleaned off the dining room table recently and the bottle of Cholula ended up with the Nativity scene. We have been taking to call the bottle the 4th Wise Man. The kids get a kick out of that. One of those family jokes that I hope will live on.
