Friendship Tea

All the Kindergarten classes at Daphne's school had a "Friendship Tea" today. This was a chance for the kids to dress up and use their manners. It was very sweet and adorable! They all had a great time and ate a TON of food. Each class had a silver tea service, china, linen napkins, flowers on the table, etc. It was quite the "southern" event!!! The little blonde boy in the pictures next to Daphne, his name is Declan, has informed me that he wants to marry her when he grows up. He has quite the crush on her!!!

Also, here are a few pictures of the house. These are the rooms I have painted so far. I still have MANY more walls to go!!!

Anyone see a resemblance?

After Marni pointed out the resemblance, we looked up "Boo's" picture on google and have to agree...Melodie is a cartoon movie star.

Raleigh is on her way to a Dance...

Raleigh and James are on their way to the Daddy Daughter Dance tonight. Raleigh's friend from school, Allie, and her dad are all going out to dinner and then to the dance. All of the little girls got a coursage that their dads give to them. I went to pick it up and Sydney wondered where hers was. I actually saw tears in her eyes - not fun to be left out! James' mom did Raleigh's hair (it has never looked so cute) and her nails too. Sydney put her Cinderella dress on and tried to be included. She made James dance with her before he left. Grandma K. also did her hair so she wouldn't feel left out. I told her in a couple of years she could go too. I got an email saying over 900 dads and daughters were going to the dance - I can't wait to hear all about it!

Sometimes you need to know when something is just not for you.

South Korean Woman Fails Driving Test 771 Times

Thursday, February 05, 2009

SEOUL, South Korea — A woman in South Korea who has taken the written exam required for a driver's license nearly every day since 2005 has failed again — but is hoping attempt No. 772 will be the charm.

The aspiring driver took her first test in April 2005, according to Choi Young-chul, an official at the North Jeolla Province driver's license agency in Jeonju, 150 miles south of Seoul.

She has taken the test a record 771 times, most recently on Monday, but has yet to pass. She said she plans to take the test again but did not say when, he said Thursday.

The 68-year-old has spent $3,000 on fees for the test, he said. Applicants must score at least 60 on the written exam before they can get behind the wheel for a driving test. Choi says she's scored as high as 50.

"I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail. When she passes, I'll make a memorial tablet myself and give it to her," Park Jung-seok, a traffic police officer at the agency, told the Korea Times newspaper.

No other details about her identity were released other than her family name, Cha.

I think maybe Bob can give her some pointers and maybe she will be able to pass soon. Maybe this is a sign that driving is not for you. If she passes the written exam, how long will it take to pass a driving exam? WOW!!!
