Where to start?
I literally have been typing – and deleting…
typing – and deleting…
typing – and (well, you know the drill)..
I simply cannot think of the perfect way to start off this post.
How about this:
What a perfect day!
For several weeks, I’ve had stacks and stacks of books
crammed into the corners of my study,
shoved between tables and the couch, loaded up into bags bulging with
books, crayons, puzzles and more.
Sunday, a group of friends and family gathered at The Treehouse for a Book Labeling Bash – to finally make our mark (literally) on the books that have been donated through the generosity of so many people!
The day was simply perfect – gorgeous in every way.
My sister and my eldest niece were in town (always a delight), Paul was cooking up some seriously delicious Frito Pies and – most importantly – friends stopped by to help paste stickers inside the books donated in the memory of our niece Abby – a little girl who left us too soon, but who’s memory is leaving a lasting impact on families all across North Texas and soon – very soon – all across South Texas.
My thanks to everyone who joined us for this very special day!
It went far more quickly than we could have imagined…
… which is good – since we already have another book drive underway!
Details in another day or two, but here’s a glimpse of what’s to come…
