I have missed you and will be back tomorrow. My husband is doing very well since his procedure, and we appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
This will be a fun week! We will be finishing our Gala Project, and taking it for a spin around the neighborhood for some photo ops! Ash Wednesday is this week, with Chapel at 12:00 noon instead of Wednesday morning. Thursday is Valentine's Day. Our party will be from 12:00-12:45 in the Math/Science room downstairs. And we will be theorizing about Roanoke, the Lost Colony, and learning about how to write a Character Sketch and create a costume out of fabric. Where else could all of these things happen but at CCS?
