It seems like I just posted, but when I checked it said it was Monday. Wow--time flies when you're really, really busy! We survived our first test and our second test. Yesterday's test was in conversation. We don't have the same teacher so our tests were not alike. In our class we had to talk about our family for 10 minutes (longest ten minutes of my life) while the others in the class listened. Stephen's teacher called them in one at a time. Who knows how the tests will be graded. My teacher took very few notes!
Last night was the first quilt class for the ladies at Vida Nueva Baptist Church. There were six of them in the class. I purchased 8 yards of fabric (a floral and solid in 4 different colors) in San Salvador and brought it with me. We cut out squares for a nine-patch block. They were so patient with my instructions in Spanish. Everyone is handsewing in class, but some of them have machines at home. Everyone got one nine-patch block completed and took home enough fabric to make a second one. Next week we will make a friendship star block which has triangles. I forgot my camera (sound familar) so I will have to wait until next week to take pictures.
Our Tico family is going to be gone to a wedding all day tomorrow so we will be on our own--not exactly sure what we will do. We both have another grammar test on Monday so studying may fill much of our weekend.
One day this week we walked to the Parque de Paz (Peace Park.) As you can see from the pictures, you get a 360 view of San Jose from the top. In addition, if you look closely you will see kids "sledding" down the hills on cardboard. Who says you need snow and cold to go sledding!
