What a pity those masterly students look down their noses when education is supposed to make us aware through learning just how much more we still don’t know to engender a sense of humility. <br />The Restore is doing very well under your stewardship and no doubt reflects the joy for 3 locals gaining an affordable home. It makes you realize how much we waste and how much more we could provide for everyone given more goodwill and sharing. <br /><br />Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-21834562420602879722010-02-24T10:46:27.153-08:002010-02-24T10:46:27.153-08:00this all sounds lovely to me, most importantly, yo...this all sounds lovely to me, most importantly, your granddaughter playing in front of your little place of warmth...such a lovely photo of you with many exciting opportunities -- spring must be on the horizon!L'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-78235252421404644872010-02-21T21:43:55.038-08:002010-02-21T21:43:55.038-08:00Such a lovely blog!

Next I'll say I'm glad you've returned even if it turns out to be a short time considering your multifarious activities. Yow. That's so exciting that you're playing music in public again and teaching too. I'm delighted.<br /><br />Yes, Spring is on her way north. She actually arrived here earlier than usual this year but I won't complain. It's my favorite season wherever I happen to witness it and the west coast gets long ones but yours will be intensely beautiful with the days steadily growing longer and longer.<br /><br />It's very good news about the ReStore and Habitat. When you go to the national meeting in your capacity of executive Director I'm sure they'll appoint someone to carry your passport for you.<br /><br />Happy Spring to you and to the little one sitting by the 'fireplace'.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-90396442334394010972010-02-21T20:43:07.524-08:002010-02-21T20:43:07.524-08:00a little fake fireplace sounds wonderful. no clean...a little fake fireplace sounds wonderful. no cleanup, no muss. turn off all the lights and sit close to the "flame"-- that's what i'd do.<br />it sounds too that you are doing *exactly* what you want and love to do. i'm happy that you are getting back into your music.<br />congrats on the habitat projects. things are sad economically, so the need affordable housing is greater than ever. what a great opportunity.<br />hugs to your grandaughter and hugs to you- best wishes too.Seraphinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527934346602655741noreply@blogger.com
