Sock Puppet Theater
I had my high tea this Sunday, and it ended up being a blast. Adrienne, Peggy, Sarah, Turbo (aka Allison) and I spent the afternoon preparing a fiesta for our mouths with a spread of veggie fajitas (with homemade tortillas), black beans, rice and all the fixin's for dinner. MmmmFajitas. After dinner was over, the evening's entertainment commenced, for which I must give credit to Dave G. for giving me the idea. We split into teams, with our intrepid helpers acting as team leaders, and then each team wrote down a scenario for one of the other teams to act out. We randomly picked, and then everyone had 30 minutes to create both sock puppets and a play to perform for the rest of the group. We had Team Patrick doing 'The Trial and Death of Sockrates", Team Luz giving us the thoughts of everyone at table during Eden's silent formal meal, Team Thomas with Celebrity Love Connection, Team Adrienne with an interesting version of Rapunzel in which she loses her hair and is courted by a gay French philosopher, Team Fallon with a scene from 'The Godsock', and finally, Team Dave with "The Sadist and the Masochist", a one-line play. It all had the potential to suck on a grand scale, but everyone got into it and made it fun. Phew.
Team Thomas (with Jesse, Eden, Elizabeth and Dan) creating an extravagantly coiffed J-Lo puppet for Celebrity Love Connection, where J-Lo (magnificently voiced by Jesse) must choose between Sean Connery, The Arnold, and Satan. Lucky girl.
Team Fallon (with Peggy, Sterling and Giordana) creating a puntastic version of the Godsock, in which Sockula is ordered by the Don to kill an old Jewish candy store owner over some sockers. You get the picture...
Maria has had just about enough of Andy, Tobias and Chad as they struggle to put together something to present at the last minute. Hence 'The Sadist'. Poor girl.
Team Dave treated us to the shortest play in sock puppet history: The Sadist and the Masochist. Go team?

Woke up this morning to a beautiful clear day after a snowfall last night. I REALLY love the view off my balcony!

We've finished a new wave of renovations on the Chapel and Farel House (our study center at l'abri) since Christmas, the most major being adding a staircase between the two and putting in some new bookshelves in the chapel to alleviate the overcrowding down in Farel. We've also added several tables and chairs near the windows so that the students can have more space to study while looking out at the gorgeous scenery. And let me tell you, right now with the sun shining, snow still on the ground, and the foliage confused about the season, it is truly lovely.
