Sunday was a last time at the UU Sarasota, and Rev. Roger gave a perfect sermon on simplicity and minimizing. Just right as we embark on a year away with two suitcases apiece! From there we attended an Interweave potluck (gay-straight alliance), then had dinner out with friends Mary and Gerry.
On Monday, I met a friend and co-researcher for breakfast, and Dick and I had our last dance lesson at Empire for some time. Tuesday I drove to Homosassa Springs to visit Mom, then to Lecanto HS where the Ugandan Pearls club (started after I talked to the students about my work in Ugandan 3 years ago) gathered to hear about updates in Lira. These young people are so inspiring as they show how much they want to help the children in Lira. They sell paper beads and stuffed animals I bring back from Children of Hope Uganda and send the money back to COHU for the children. That evening we attended a party at dear neighborhood friends' house, Florian and Kathy.
Today was yet another inspiring luncheon about an organization I am close to, Embracing Our Differences. The stories by young and teen children resulting from this excellent diversity program give me hope.
Somehow, I have managed to nearly pack:
And I've packed more than that to cart to the Goodwill (this, along with my back car seat filled with more stuff):
Geez, another party tonight, at Democratic Headquarters. What happened to my quiet life?
