No kidding, she does almost everything in the coffee-making process.

She also wants to make dinner:



That step ladder was a great purchase!

Some reflections:

1. I made a lot of FRIENDS, all throughout the district. Yay!

2. The board's decision did not put complete burden on one geographic, socioeconomic, and ethnic subset of the district. Yay!

3. Not only did I MAKE friends, I learned who my true friends were. I've been blessed with more true friends than I ever realized. More YAY!

4. Despite our political differences, most people in this "world" are pretty darned cool. YAY YAY YAY!

And thus ends my overly sappy and optimistic reflections for tonight.

I've posted a lot about cancer in the last year.

Did I mention that I hate cancer?

My oldest two learned about loss from cancer this summer. However, this Thanksgiving, they also learned, hopefully, that there are those who survive it.



Here they decorated the head of our dear friend, Sara, who has undergone the last of her chemo, and should be done with radiation by Christmas, for breast cancer.

The call of the two year old.

I'll post a picture one of these days of Chloe making my coffee for me. She really does do it, almost entirely.

I should have trained the other two this early, at this point, they still think we exist to wait on them hand and foot.

p.s. Happy Turkey Day to anyone bothering with wasting there time looking at my weblog on a holiday!
