Rachel and the speech team were in Ely, Minnesota today for a smaller speech meet. The team is fairly young this year and it was a good chance for them to gain some confidence. And it was a good confidence booster for Rachel.
She is again competing in the creative category, which means she writes her own piece. Today she placed second!! She was very excited. That gives her a good chance of placing well at sections. She will continue to work hard on the piece and the week after returning from New York will compete at state.
She has improved so much since she began competing in seventh grade. She is really enjoying this speech season.
I have had a good weekend as well. I am working on a River costume for Rachel and creating a dress almost from scratch. It is finally coming together and I'm enjoying the process. I also planted tomato seeds today. It is about 12 weeks until we can plant outside but I haven't given plants long enough to get established so am trying to start earlier this year. I am looking forward to seeing some green.
Have a good weekend.
Diane
