How Time Has Flown!
Who would have thought we'd need to rake leaves in the back yard of Lydia's House when only a year ago this week we were receiving our 501 c3 letter of tax exemption? For all practical purposes, October marks the first birthday of an idea that is rapidly becoming a reality, yard maintenance and all! This birthday month has brought with it much good for Lydia's House-- a speaking event at Holy Trinity parish, a donation of an almost new dryer, tons of free paint, 10 lovely quilts, great volunteer groups, new friends, and an improved website. Most importantly, our renovation is far enough along that our opening to homeless guests in now on the horizon: April of 2014. In personal news, Annie is loving preschool and now garden camp and Bellarmine religious education, Sam is a wild man who's learned to climb, Ben continues to manage the renovation and tries (typically with mixed success) to watch at least one football related event a week, Mary Ellen is enjoying her free mornings (thanks preschool) and the chance to be quiet, if only for a little bit and Meridith has had several fruitful visits with friends and family around the country, including most recently a bus trip to New York City. How do we manage to keep it all moving forward: one name, Hilary Wolkan. Thank you to our new intern.
