Ides of March

Hang onto your hat!
A rose for Teacher Rose

Some students so happy and some so sad to see school end...
March 2nd was Graduation Day for my first Kindergarten class at Rayong English Programme School in Ban Chang, Thailand. What a contrast to last March when I was in Northeast Thailand and we had a  graduation ceremony for the senior high school students that I taught.

The next day I left for China to visit Aidan and Taylor. My first assignment was to design and make Saint Patrick's Day outfits for the "Mefford Boys"... (Daddy John included) as they has an Amazing Race competition and it had to be in IRISH costumes. It was a bit of a challenge finding supplies in Shanghai as I didn't know where any thing was...however I was able to find wigs and hats to decorate...AND the boys were willing to wear them!   Amazingly they WON the costume competition and placed third in the scavenger hunt race.

The Irish Red-Rocker O'Meff Boys Band...You guys rocked!
