ARC girl...unhappy with ARC boy!

If you have been living under a rock and didn't hear the news last evening..as Brian Williams so eloquently put it "the embattled American Red Cross" took another hit yesterday when it's president of 6months..yep SIX months got caught with another red crosser! Charming!
Or as my friend and owner of the local news and radio station emailed me..quote.."ouch!"
What unfortunately Joe Q public does not know is that "we" little guys send money to those "big guys" in DC and we get NO money from them to serve our public...no matter how many families we take care of..unless it becomes a disaster of certain proportions. One of the other qualities one must have to work for this organization is thick skin! Our dirty laundry is always public.

In other news, Thanksgiving was a whirlwind of travel and family. But alot of fun. Caroline was home for a short but intense time and I think she enjoyed herself as she got to see so many people.

Phone call yesterday from my "cancer free" little sister in law!!!!!!! YIPEEEE! of course this means five years of ct scans, and then you can really say that. But we will take anything at this point!!!!

And in the making a mark on the world category..Tyler sat down with Don B. principal of Sedgwick School and asked if he could do a large mural on a hallway wall for his eighth grade project. He showed Don his sketches and they were approved!! Now he has to do a scale drawing with the art teacher, figure out types of paints and he may have to go before the school board. He is thrilled.

So back to work for the worlds largest charitible organization...ARC Girl
