What an amazing 3 years it has been. Watching you grow up is just the best EVER!!! I’m so excited to have cake and ice cream with you tonight. What a blessing you are to our family…
To think this is how it all started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb3ntwMxB5w
Today I want to talk about Clara and her willingness to stand up for the little guy at school, even if it’s not the “cool” thing to do. Clara has a tendency to gravitate towards the people who are siting by themselves at the lunch table or alone in class. She has many friends at school with disabilities. She has won a few community service awards for her thoughtfulness. What a true hero in my mind and an example for all.
Her love in this area has led me to help, albeit in a much smaller way, a kid by the name of Austin who is trying to win a wheelchair accessible fan. I have been spreading his story around social media and trying to drum up virtual support. He has an amazing story and is worthy of your vote!

This morning during my chat with my father, he told me of Grandma & Grandpa’s house on Sylvania Road (the house he grew up in). The house was built in 1939 and the land was essentially purchased sight unseen. They saw the land at 11 pm at night using headlights to scope out the property. They had another property pending and had to act quick. Turns out the house was built on property that backed eight up to the 3rd tee of the east course at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, NY. Neat to learn a bit of history around the house I spent so much time at.
I hate dealing with conflict. its so “not my style” as Emma would say. I’d consider myself a good communicator, but a really poor in dealing with conflict. I just want it over and done with.
How do you deal with conflict? Do you run and hide?
This morning at the gym I was watching On Golden Pond and thoughts of getting old and aging flooded my mind. Terrible topic for working out to, BTW, but I digress. made me think about getting older and what my kids think and how I can work to stay young. You are only as young as you feel.
What keeps you feeling young at heart?
