OLD NEWS: Valentine's Day, etc.

Before this gets much older, here are some Valentine's Day shots. A party was organized and we contributed chocolate cupcakes with gooey chocolate cream cheese filling with pink peppermint icing crisscrossed with melted chocolate...
Michael applies the chocolate hearts.
Keith, Chris, and Tim in their party clothes.The students were playing charades;
Michael couldn't hold back any longer and jumped in!
We bought Michael a scooter - a very popular item here - and he is learning, with Carolyn's encouragement. Jack coming up the rear! The Olympic Museum sits on a hill reached by a series of escalators: free ride up, then coast back down to the lake.
On the way home from church, we got caught in a train of cars celebrating Kosovo independence; flashing lights, honking horns, and waving flags. We thought the canton of Fribourg had won a sports match! Anyway, we were stuck, so I put on our flashers; Michael grabbed his Greek flag from the back, and began waving it out the window. Sorry, no picture. I was driving!
Warm sunshine came, as well, drawing families to the lake. Our gelato man set up his stand., and we dressed the boys in their Greek sailor shirts for a lakeside photo.
