My region of Kolda was "South of the Border" meaning wild west cowboys and saloon girls, along with a little hint of Mexico. We had a couple guys dress up as a Mariachi band, some Mexican peasants, and even a piƱata.
Here's me as chiquita banana. Ha! And yes, I attempted to play softball in this. Not easy.
Other region's themes included "suits" made of ridiclous fibrant fabrics,
girl scouts and boy scouts,
"under the sea" with scuba gear and blow up whales,
and lastly, "the French", whom forfeited every game and took a lot of coffee breaks. All and all, the conference and tournament was a success and it was great to see everyone as always.
**a million hugs and kisses to Mrs. Franz and my sweet parents for the amazing care packages you sent me!! You have no idea how grateful I am to receive packages like these. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY mama!! I'm sorry I missed it, but I hope it was a great one. It's no coincidence you were born on the day celebrating the life of a great peacemaker, so in honor of the both of you, here's a message we should all avide by...

ReplyDeleteYou can't be playing softball in a skirt. I hope you got a hit. You sure looked cute! It sounds like things are happening in your village even though it takes time. Keep up the good work, I love you very much!!! Papa
