September 2025

September was full and busy with work and evening classes. 
Happy Hands lost two dear people very close together the first weekend; that was very hard.

Mr. Bob (pic from March 2014) was an amazing volunteer at Happy Hands, did so much for the school, staff, and children, and loved and teased everyone. Personally, he and his wife kind of adopted me and had me over for meals, etc. He is already so missed.

Precious little Ellie was in my classroom my first year at Happy Hands. She was so full of life and love and was a brave heart warrior! She went to heaven after a very long heart battle for the last 10 months of her life. This picture was taken about a year ago. She is so missed. 

Out to eat with friends Kati and Zak one evening.
Our hearts were heavy from the losses, but it helped to be together.

A picnic with my sweet friends one day during break time.

The staff and children at Happy Hands painted rocks for little Ellie's grave.

I finished crocheting this Afghan that I started in March.

A meet up with friends in the park one afternoon during break! So sweet to be together again!

A quick supper at my apt with my coworker Teressa.

We had a weekend conference/P.D. at Happy Hands.

Beautiful sky scenes

Matching with coworkers is always fun! Especially when you don't plan it!

Might be a bit early, but I decided it's Egg-Nog season! :D

An evening of supper, sunset, fellowship, and games with my sweet friend Mary Ann.

A cute fall photo set up for my baby class during "apple" week.

Red Bird team matching

A beautiful morning as I headed to work.

Looking forward to sharing October's blessings with y'all next month!
