Calheta de São Miguel - the afternoon of the second day - The 22nd of April 2012



(...)

I was very happy to see the porcelain models I had left at Nate's for Ângela and Leinira to paint already partially painted ... and very well painted indeed.















I managed to discuss some important aspects with Nate regarding Ângela's forthcoming University entry, as well as get information on the children Ângela is helping in regards to their school activities.

Time was scarce as we had to get back to the pension to get dressed up for the party which would start around midday, though I still had a few minutes to talk to Elias, who would soon be coming to the party as well.







We met Marlene on the way carrying the pot of soup which would be served first at the party.



















Just before it started Nelsinha came around with her mother, whom I met for the first time, thinking that they were supposed to attend the party.

I had to unfortunately turn them down as I did a couple more children as their birthday dates were not from January through to April. Nevertheless she got the presents her "godmother" Susana and boyfriend sent her and was paticularly happy.




















As I was taking the children to their places I noticed that all of them (with just two exceptions) were wearing the dresses their "godmothers" had sent them for the party and they looked rather confident and proud, not to say happy though simultaneously nervous as to what was going to happen.

































The children officially invited for the party were - Elias, Eduardo, Gerson, Valter, Edeson, Rivia, Carla Veronica, Evelina Natalina, Eunice, Leiziny, Eunice de Jesus, Maria de Jesus, Tarine, Jessica Jociane, Jessica Patricia, Jessica Ramos, Sonia, Liliane Rosy, Leinira, Carla, Katiza, Lola ,Marcia, Ana Bina, Lavinia, Daniela, Evilise, Ivanilde and Ivanilde Elena. Three "extra" children (Diva, Veronica Conceição and little Evilise) were allowed to come for the previously stated reasons.




The first course was served - a "reinforced" chicken soup ...
