April Brews Day

This event has been an annual event for Chipp to organize, and it's my 3rd year being part of it. It's a hugely well attended event, and all of the proceeds go to the Max Higbee Foundation.

 

Last year I got to perform with Alastair,

and this year I dressed Nate up in Wrens costume and we juggled together. After our shift we got to go enjoy the party. Heidi, Chipp and I hung out, and it was great. Maybe next year Wren will be back!

Barbara and Walter Lee's 65 year Anniversary

These wonderful folks were part of my life and family since I was 17. I dated their grandson, Gary for 9 years. They are wonderful, wonderful people, who still consider me family.

 Gary and his gal Deanna, with Wren and me. Wren was a champ to come along.

 Gary's immediate family.

 The extended family.

 And his sister, well, our sister, as we still refer to one another, Cheryl. She's a hoot!

 It was so, so great to be part of such an awesome and proud event. I feel darned lucky to have the Lees, and the Olguins still in my life, and still having me in theirs.

Atreu's Birthday Party

Wren and I were invited to perform for a kids 5-year birthday party. We had a great time, and everyone at the party was delighted with our show and getting to play with our circus props. My favorite thing is seeing Wren surrounded by a bunch of cutie little girls wanting him to teach them how to juggle. So cute!

  This awesome guy determined to juggle.

 This little champ learning how to hoop the hard way!

Our finale!

 It is always rewarding to see the adults watching and enjoying the show as well.

 Happy Birthday Atreu! And thanks to the gal who took these photos, yay!
