Bad start to the morning...

Ouch!

Sharon Crop Walk leading fund-raiser..

In Sharon , we are blessed to have many great people, who come from all walks of life, and do their part to help our small community in so many different ways. Pictured here today is Dorothy McWilliams, a super active member of St. Bernard's RC Church here in Sharon. One of the many things that Dorothy does is raise funds each year for her sponsorship of her walking in the annual Crop Walk. This year, as in years past, she sets up her little card table in front of the pharmacy, and quietly sits with her sign-up sheet and some signs which speak of stopping world hunger. She is not aggressive in any way when it comes to the seeking donations. She just sits quietly, and is ready to talk with anyone who approaches and may ask a question. She has been here but a week or so, and only comes for an hour here, an hour or two there. Thus far, she has amassed just over one thousand dollars to add to the totals from northwest Connecticut. I challenged her yesterday to get to a thousand dollars, and said she could go home early if she did. At the time she had around eight hundred or so. Today, by 2 pm she had gone over a thousand dollars! I told her to go home, and take the rest of the day off. She replied, 'maybe later"......

Well done Dorothy. You truly are a blessing to your community, and in your own quiet way, you SHOUT to what is really important in your life. Helping feed the needy, as Jesus would do. Keep it up. I think I need to challenge you to raise one thousand, five hundred....!   :)

Weddings happen around here too!

Today we had the pleasure of attending our daughter Catherine's life-long best-friend Linnea's wedding. It was held in Falls Village, at Music Mountain, which provided a lovely setting. Linnea Paton was so much a part of growing up in and around our family, and involved with so many sleep-overs, weekends, school projects, a vacation or two and many more events this feeble mind can't recall. I just wanted to wish her the absolute happiest of life's best, as she and her husband Guillaume start out into new territory; marriage.

Love never ends Linnea. You will always be our other little girl.

Guillaume & Linnea Marceau
