What a Day
This day was long and confusing. It was pretty difficult to work all day (and smile) while I sat in the shop and tried to figure out (again) why the children's Principal -Bernard Harvard- was taken so soon. We attended a gathering this evening at the school playground. It was nice to just get together and talk...whether it was about him or about the summer. We got filled in on details, memorial information, etc. The family was kind enough to make his memorial public, but I am sure his wife (of only one year!!!) had difficulty finding the space ---for I have have no doubt that it will be a packed "house".
See this smile? This really wasn't for the camera...this was how we saw Mr. Harvard 6 hours of every day...Monday-Friday. A truly lovely man.
He didn't die at the hospital like we originally had thought...but while playing a gig Saturday night.
I prefer to think of it this way....he died doing something he LOVED.
Okay....got that out of the way again. But I have no doubt it WILL be a long week for us here. This is the time that nobody really gets "the big plan" or understands "why". Any words of explanation are simply trite.
Thanks again for letting me blow some confused (sad) steam. :)
Onto the shop stuff: I found the camera! Who would have thought to look in my bedside table? 12 year old girls......
First off....Children's Clothing by Wendy Wager. So cute & hip. She's possibly selling outside the store on Last Thursday. I need to confirm it with her. It would be nice!
And here are some new goodies:
My new front door!
And some new stamps from Cat's Life Press. YUMMY.......I picked these guys up at Collage....I think I might have knocked the UPS man over. Ooops.
And check out the paper....luscious. (Not Cat's Life Press...and kind of blurry).
Okay. Hope I showed some enthusiasm there. My apologies. I will get it together, but we are still bumbling about here in our house. It just doesn't help that I am one sentimental sap.
This too shall pass.
