2025 - September 23-27 - Black Belt Test 3rd Degree

 

Fantastic Fall - ice cream goes well into the season!




Marigold's drawings










Field Trip to APT for "Midsummer Night's Dream"
Fantastic!



On the way home we stopped at Peck's










After 7 hours, I earned my 3rd degree black belt!
I cannot tell you how many times I did not think I'd make it.
It was a huge challenge physically, mentally, and emotionally.

This Taekwondo friend made it right alongside










I was half starved afterwards.
We went out for Mongolian Grill

The sky has been so beautiful!

My board breaks for the test. 
I missed the last one the first time!
Good grief!

Fr. Pilla turns 100! 
My dad visited him. The priest was
the one at St. Patrick's in Truxton when
we used to go visit my grandparents.
