Magical Monday --- Magicians-In-Training

This week we have to say goodbye to 2 of our neighbors --- Victor and Victoria (pictured above playing a board game in our apartment on Saturday). They are from Cambodia and their dad just graduated from seminary last week. They have been in our building for the past 3 1/2 years.

Both of them are aspiring magicians! Every time I see them, they want to learn a new trick. I have been impressed with Victor and how quickly he can learn a trick and begin to fool people. Unlike most kids, a single trick can keep his interest for a long time. After we practice together and he gets a trick down, he'll go knocking door-to-door to show anyone who is willing to watch.

Victoria is younger (only 4 when they moved here, but now she is 8), and she also learns fairly quickly...although she has a REALLY hard time not telling everyone how she did it hahaha. Every time I would go out on my Trikke, sit outside, take a walk, play tennis, etc --- she would always appear out of the blue and be ready to participate in whatever it was I was doing no matter how dull. She was even excited to help fix our burnt out headlight in the car!

They are great kids and we'll miss them a lot! But who knows...we may see them again someday on stage!
