Wednesday before Thanksgiving we all went to the Shawe and Pope John all school mass, and afterward, Phil Kahn (President of Prince of Peace Schools) and the preschool teachers surprised mom by dedicating the woods to her. They presented her with a beautiful sign that you can see below in the picture. It was wonderful and quite emotional, punctuated with comic relief by the two littlest. Not sure about everyone else, but my tears started flowing when I noticed that the last verse of the closing song was, "Thank you God for Ms. Rosie." Ay yay yay!
Thanksgiving has been wonderful. Mom got to join her York family at her sister Jane's. There were 52 out of a possible 62 people there. It was great. I was enjoying myself too much to take very many pictures. :) She's had a good holiday, I think. She was a little tired yesterday but seemed fully recovered today. Tomorrow the Virginia sisters and their families return home, so we will be sad to see them go.
Warm wishes to all,

ReplyDeleteCorrection: there were actually 56 people there! (After the recount, haha)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful :) So perfect!
ReplyDeleteMs. Rosie's Woods - how appropriate! One senior retreat at Camp KYSOC, Rosie gathered vines and leaves and wildflowers and within minutes wound them together into a beautiful wreath and shared how she feels God's friendship in nature. Like I said, how appropriate!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Ms. Rosie!
