Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2008. Mattie was in kindergarten and Peter and I were guests in the classroom, as we introduced the children to coconuts. I mean a fresh one off the tree, which looks very different from the coconut in the grocery stores. First I did a little show and tell and gave the children all sorts of facts about the tree and the fruit! Then we took the children outside and Peter demonstrated how you open a coconut. Which is always a show. At the end there were coconut treats to try! All I can say is I may have experienced only one year of Mattie in school, but I volunteered often in that one year and was very involved.

It was a whirlwind of a day, which started with a visit to the dentist. I had my follow up appointment with the fitting of a permanent crown. Ironically I thought the tough part was going to be the process from two weeks ago. Which was removing a part of the tooth with issues and then putting on a temporary crown. However, in comparison to that, I would say today's pain is much worse. The dentist prepared me for that, which doesn't make intuitive sense to me. Other than he is absolutely correct!
While at the dentist's office, I met a 23 year old woman who is working as an assistant, but truly isn't sure what she wants to do career wise. In any case, while waiting for the dentist, she and I got to talking. She is very personable, has a genuine interest in people, likes to talk, but is also a good listener. In any case, by the time I finished with her, I got her thinking about becoming a therapist. As I know full well the people skills she has are hard to teach!
