Yesterday…

…I was honored to attend the very special wedding of a dear friend of mine.  The bride is one of the people I miss the most now that I’m not working…we shared an office, depended on each other for support and guidance in teaching and parenting, and shared so many laughs and tears I could not even begin to count.  She is one of the brightest souls I have ever encountered, and deserves every happiness that comes her way—I have never seen her looking more glorious than she did yesterday.  She absolutely glowed with happiness and I swear we were all enveloped by the warmth of it.  I rarely share photos of the important people in my life here, but I simply could not resist sharing this with you…

And her husband’s family Bible held a place of honor on the pulpit, having been in the family since the 1850’s.

What a blessed day.

Under My Skin

Well, I always know it’s time for a trip to Disney when I start obsessing over things I shouldn’t want to have.  I love my home, and really don’t want to leave…but…

This house is for sale and it keeps calling to me.

I used to pass this house on my way to my college classes, and it always made me sigh.  It was alive back then…it’s empty and lonely now.  And it’s calling to me.

There’s a humongous dairy barn in the back…and it comes with acres and acres of land.  And did I mention that it’s calling to me?

If I had a whole hunka chunka money, I would bring this house back to life.  It needs lots of love, and lots of care…and a TON of updating…and an extension off the back. 

But check out the view.

*sigh*

It’s calling to me.

Okay, Seriously?

So, I vacuum my entire first floor every single morning.  I have hardwood floors throughout, and area rugs only in the living room.  I vacuum the upstairs hardwood floors once or twice a week.  This is two weeks worth of yuck. 

How does this happen???!!!!

I do not live on a farm nor on a dirt road.  My family removes their shoes when they come home…not that I insist, but it’s just more comfortable.  How does this much dirt make it into a house????  I just don’t understand. 

How filthy must my house have been back when I worked??!!  EW!  Appalling.

Holiday Kick-Off…

So, remember I told you awhile back about joining the Board of Directors of The Frank Iovieno Caring for Children Foundation?  Well, the Holiday Kick-Off has begun!  Things will be ramping up tremendously over the next month, and I’m so excited to see how it all unfolds on this, my very first, holiday push.

As is true with any charity, the more new sponsors we can gain each year, the better.  Obviously, the more sponsors we have, the more children we can help. 

Please don’t feel obligated to participate…I am simply passing along information in the most efficient way I have at my disposal.  I know we are all stretched over the holidays.  However,  if you are so inclined to learn more and perhaps join the charity as a sponsor, please visit the website and have a look around.  (The website is currently in the process of being updated—one of the first tasks I was able to participate in—so as soon as it is rolled out I will let you know so you can take a peek at it.) But the information for sponsors is current.

And if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me off an e-mail to my usual address if you know me, or to Zanskd@gmail.com if you don’t.  🙂

Many blessings on you and yours this holiday season….and thanks for indulging me!
