Wednesday was just another day, Woody still adjusting to the time change, suffering from a head cold and he had just shaken one he suffered through most of his African trip. I really believe the colds are due to his immune system being run down due to lack of sleep; stress from travel, the time change and his normal habit running full speed ahead, ignoring his body’s need of rest for the last three weeks, although he is snoozing some during the day now and claims the gang retired early while in Africa. He is winding down but it is taking sometime, I do understand and would be the same after returning from such an awesome exhilarating trip to quiet campground living is a drastic change. I spent time working with the pictures from Africa, sizing and touching up a few of them and I downloaded the video from the camera. I will make a DVD of his trip for us (and friends) combining the video and pictures adding background music, transitions, borders and Woody would like to add some narration on a video portion that will be interesting. I have added narration to a video clip once, not easy to record narration that sounds smooth and interesting without ah’s, eh’s stumbles, etc. I spent most of the day working on a DVD for Caitlin’s class adding some of the animals, landscape and added some video. I will make two actually, different lengths, not sure how much time we will have for the class presentation. Woody ran some errands in town during the afternoon.
In the evening we attended our granddaughter Lindsey’s Award Ceremonies, she received an Award for excelling in Science, (she had worked on a special project with classmates), was she ever excited, proud and surprised. As always, it was wonderful to be there and share her accomplishment. When Lindsey’s name was announced, she jumped up, her jaw dropped, hand went to her mouth to cover the open mouth, and she almost ran up to receive her Award, wish we could have caught her reaction on camera it was so spontaneous. Lindsey is 12 and of course, at that age usually the response is usually somewhat conservative. No problem snapping pictures of her on this occasion, usually she runs the other way when the camera is on her but she was too excited to notice this time.
A very special award presented by Lindsey's teacher.
I think the look on Lindsey's face says it all!
After the conclusion of the ceremonies, we spent some time visiting with Tracy, congratulating Lindsey and talking with her teacher. Arrived home around 9:00 pm, an awesome way to spend part of our evening, the remainder of our evening we spent relaxing and chatting online with friends.
