Had a great visit with my cousin Pam. She is down here for a conference and we met up in Nashville. We found a real "down-home" diner and had some BBQ pork sandwiches. We talked about the lacking education and the funny way the South does their schools.
Received a great surprise package from one of my bosses. She sent us 1/2 gallon of maple syrup! The family stared at it like it was manna from heaven! They can't wait to make a big batch of pancakes to eat with the syrup!
The girls are starting piano lessons in the next few weeks. We found a young piano teacher who teaches from her home. The girls are excited and we all know their grandmother would have been proud.
Gearing up for summer camp. Both girls will attend Girl Scout camp, Anna will be an aide and Marian a camper. I have been recruited to help with music (shock), so I am brushing up on camp songs. Lots of memories coming back. Anna and I also said we'd help out with Vacation Bible School at church, although we have yet to hear from the organizer.
Marian has received an official letter stating that she has been tardy a large number of times. I am not sure how this really affects her as a 1st grader?
The kids only have 6 more weeks of school and are excited and ready for summer. Patience children....
Quote of the day:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
