Cathedral

Last week we attended two events at the local Cathedral. The Cathedral, built in 1919, has been recently restored and is one of the jewels of our town. You can sit in the sanctuary and soak up beauty the whole time you are there, and then there is still more to see.

I did the wedding flowers for our homeschool friend's daughter Christina. It was a lovely, happy wedding. She had her 8 sisters as bridesmaids and flower/ring girls and her two brothers were ushers.

We all had fun at the reception. The kids from our homeschool group tore up the dance floor. Don't ever believe the misconception that homeschooled kids are not socialized! Those kids hit the floor the first chance they could and danced the night away with olders dancing with youngers, babies grabbed up and twirled, everyone included in the fun. Anyone sitting down was enticed and coerced into joining in. Lots of these kids dance together twice a month at ballroom dancing, and we have also done English Country Dancing as a group several times, so they are pretty proficient and comfortable together.

We parents had fun dancing some, but our biggest joy was watching the kids together. (Below: My buddies Sandy(E.), Ana, Susan, Nancy, Caitilin. Between we 6 we have 38 kids.)

Friday night we were back at Cathedral again for an organ recital. Two of our friends, C., a senior this year, and M., thirteen and an 8th grader, gave beautiful performances.

We all took a tour of the organ balcony afterwards with them and their teacher Mrs. K.
