As some of you may know I recently got my driver’s permit. Consequently I’ve been learning how to drive - and park.

I still have a lot to learn and unfortunately our apple tree has had to pay for that learning process:

Yes, I knocked that down while trying to park. *sigh* Needless to say I am feeling very human as well as un-intelligent right now.

At least it was the tree and not the van…

Last Saturday Dad, Lydia, Karl, Greta, Peter and I went to an English Country Dance in Amboy hosted by the Berkompas Family. Others have posted pictures of the actual dancing so I’ll just post a few that we got before we left.

It was a wonderful time and we all enjoyed it!
