Felix as Mufasa in The Lion King

Graduation Day for Carla (May 23, 2011)

Carla made it! After several years of hard work, she now has an R.N. degree, and is an Advanced Practice Nurse (Family Nurse Practitioner). As her instructor said to the crowd, "My students had to learn a lot more than the others did".

Felix's First USTA Tournament

It went well!

THE CHAMPIONS

OLIVER'S SIXTH GRADE BASKETBALL TEAM WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE ENTIRE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS FOR THEIR GRADE LEVEL. THE PROUD GRANDFATHER OF THAT BOY, OLIVER, WHO THREW IN THE LAST SCORING BASKET, COULD NOT RESIST POSTING THIS PICTURE OF HIS TEAM. SEARCH FOR HIM--IT IS NOT HARD---HE'S TALL AS CENTERS USUALLY ARE.

Fat Tuesday!

Salisbury Winter Sports

It is time for the Annual Salisbury Winter Sports Association Annual Ice Sculpture Contest and Ski Jump (February 11-13, 2011). The Ski Jump is now on it's 85th annual event with a new jump built over 9 months with a $700,000 fund raising campaign. Sharon had a hand in it, as the contract for building was won by Churchill Brother's Builders of Sharon. It is made of steel, wood and concrete. It is 20 feet higher than the old wooden jump to meet today's requirements for the sport, and over 200 feet of woodland had to be cleared to widen the landing area and area along the jump. Everyone is Salisbury (and surrounding area) is bursting with pride.
Because this was achieved, Salisbury will host the Junior Olympics in Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined from February 22-26, 2011.

Some of you have seen these on Flickr, but I thought it was worth memorializing the winter of 2011 for readers of this blog. Be glad if you don't live here, but somewhere with less snow!
