Leia Wins the "Draw Your Peace" Contest!

The Asheville Mediation Center had a wonderful contest where three different age groups of school children tried to do something called "Draw Your Peace." Leia won for her age group! This means that she got invited to a fancy luncheon, got a $50 gift certificate, and got to hear a really cool speaker from the Roma gypsies! As you can see, Leia chose a new electric car for her prize!

Leia's Field Trip to the Smith-McDowell House

It was an exciting day with Mama as the chaperone! The 5th graders did everything from learning how to make lace, how to archive documents and paint , how to quilt, how to make butter in an old fashioned butter churn, how to wash clothes without a washing machine, how to use a spinning wheel, how to make corn meal (Leia got to keep the corn cob!) , and Leia and Jackson even got a chance to experience and 18th century tea time! And Mamma broke the rules (to the kids' delight) by visiting Krispy Kreme afterwards!
