Shelly > September 21, 2008 Red Beans & Rice for 100 And cornbread and salad and mac&cheese for the kids. Our church has become a Red Cross Shelter, and we're housing about 85 evacuees from Hurricane Ike. Today our small group for blended families got to provide and serve lunch. It was such a blessing to serve in this capacity, and I think I'll just have to get back down there to get another dose of hugs from my newfound friends (especially the three year old twins along with their very helpful big brother and sister) Here are a few of us . . . Billy, Me, Mike, Stephanie and Brian, Shelli and Will. Notice the very fashionable and oh-so-hot plastic gloves. Stephanie's son, Collin, took the picture for us. He did a pretty good job, didn't he? Here's a link to my hurricane Ike gallery. I'll add a few more pics from todays lunch soon. http://spccreative.smugmug.com/gallery/6015346_28cvz
Shelly > July 13, 2008 Hope in the Shadows Yesterday Kim asked about Grace, the beautiful Kildeer mother whose nest I had been watching. I wish I had a real answer to report, but here's what I do know. Her nest had been smack dab in the middle of our church parking lot (Grace Fellowship www.whatisgrace.org) -- hence her name. Some other members had spotted her first, stacked some rocks nearby and marked the area with traffic cones to keep her safe. I think everyone who saw her enjoyed showing her to their kids and talking about the wonders God puts into our lives. Over the Fourth of July weekend, someone had moved one of her markers and used it to set off fireworks. I replaced it once, but the next day the parking lot was littered with even more firework debris and her markers had all been moved to the end of the parking lot. There was no trace of Gracie or her eggs. I really felt low that morning because I THINK some neighborhood kids may have destroyed her nest. I HOPE, however, that Grace's eggs hatched before I expected them to and that somewhere in the little drainage ditch that runs by the parking lot she and her friend, Charity, are living happily with Love, Joy, Peace, Hope and older cousin Chiclet. I have yet to post the last pictures of Chiclet, but will get them up and let you all know soon.
Shelly > July 3, 2008 No News Today Between my birds and sunflowers, I MUST find something fresh and different to shoot over the holiday weekend or we'll all get bored with my dailies. Gracie seems to trust me a little more every day. She's letting me get within 5 or 6 feet from her little nest, and she stands up to let me check on the eggs, as if she knows that's why I come by. It seems like I should bring her gifts; bird seeds, water, peanut butter sandwich, a diet coke and a copy of People Magazine -- but she still won't tell me what she'd enjoy.
Shelly > June 30, 2008 Gracie's still sitting patiently as she awaits hatching day. I don't expect to see babies for at least another week but still check on her and her four little eggs nearly every day. On a sad note, there is a second nest near this one. Charity may be a younger mother. She only had two eggs, and this morning she stepped off her nest and chirped to show me that she is down to just one. I started Grace and Charity's little gallery last week and still have more to add to it. Perhaps I should pare it down a bit, but I feel like these are all my babies -- and you know how hard it is to cull out pictures of your own babies.

Shelly > December 11, 2007 Grace under Fire Anne V. Ridings made this world a much better place with her grit and determination, generosity, creative talent, wit, encouragement ... and that delightful British accent. Annie's Bosom Buddies all over the world -- from Houston to London to Australia and places in between -- have a heavy heart today. She completed her tasks on December 10, 2007 and we will all miss her terribly.

Red Beans & Rice for 100

And cornbread and salad and mac&cheese for the kids.

Our church has become a Red Cross Shelter, and we're housing about 85 evacuees from Hurricane Ike. Today our small group for blended families got to provide and serve lunch. It was such a blessing to serve in this capacity, and I think I'll just have to get back down there to get another dose of hugs from my newfound friends (especially the three year old twins along with their very helpful big brother and sister)

Here are a few of us . . . Billy, Me, Mike, Stephanie and Brian, Shelli and Will. Notice the very fashionable and oh-so-hot plastic gloves.

Stephanie's son, Collin, took the picture for us. He did a pretty good job, didn't he?

Here's a link to my hurricane Ike gallery. I'll add a few more pics from todays lunch soon. http://spccreative.smugmug.com/gallery/6015346_28cvz
