Week After Christmas!

I went back to work for a three-day work week, while Ford and AA golfed, put together her BB-8 and cooked me dinner every night. On Thursday, they picked up Jane W. for Robotics Team workshop, then Ford took them to lunch at Tijuana Flats, AA's favorite fast food Mexican. It was cold and rainy so they then played inside on the WiiU. No photos as Ford and AA just don't think to take any!
This week and next will be very cold, nights in the 30's and 40's, and daytime reaching in the 40's and 50's. Today (Saturday)  was to be 60 but is only 52 degrees. Next time it will be close to 60 degrees will be near January 7th or 8th! Brrrrr!!
AAs LEGO project was very complicated. Besides 1106 pieces in six bags, it assembled from the inside out.
I found this review, which in the end, says the BB-8 is a "great display model"!
BB-8’s interior, built with the parts in the second bag, is occupied with Technic mechanisms for his welding torch and wobbly head. The third bag adds BB-8’s upper sphere segment, and a rubber band holds a weighted section steady so that it can flex back and forth.
The build gets truly interesting when you start building BB-8’s head in the final bag (which includes the minifig-scale BB-8). The droid’s head is full of SNOT (Studs Not on Top) techniques to achieve his unique white and orange stripes, along with all his sensors and other technical details.
The construction for BB-8’s holographic projector is particularly interesting, with the projector connected at an angle to a 1×1 brick with a stud on the side, bracketed by two corner panels.
One of the coolest and funniest features is BB-8’s wobbly head, which flops around when you turn a knob on the opposite side from the welding torch’s knob. 
Here's AA's BB-8:

Her Daddy took a few pictures, AA and BB-8 on our stairs:

Saturday was to be about 60 degrees but instead is COLD! I stayed home and cleaned up the house, laundry, picked lemons, and lots of miscellaneous tasks. AA and Penny at Amelia River:

So very close!!

AA had hiccups all day plus the layers of clothes due to the COLD weather and still scored the low 80's today! Amazing how positive Penny is about Alyzabeth's playing, she encourages AA, always complimentary, such a blessing to our family! Thank you Penny! Using her new NIKE driver:

Penny gave us homemade Welsh cookies, reminds me a little of scones with currents:

We went to the River House for our "night out" and visited with friends Hugh, Maureen, Kathy and Arnie. Always love spending time on the river with our very special friends and bar matron Ginger. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and we will count down to 2018 at home!
