A Beautiful Bench
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
Had such lovely news a couple of days ago. For the past couple of months, some ambitious friends took up the cause to help raise funds for the beautiful butterfly bench designed for Leverett Elementary, Olivia’s school. As we were taking a walk together, Terri told me they have raised all the money to start the project. We are humbled. For example: our neighborhood association readily said they would help, the Leverett PTO gave, people gave through Olivia’s Basket website and someone who no longer lives in our neighborhood, but whose grandchildren love this area said he would contribute to this unique effort. So many reasons for us to be grateful. Take a look at the bench. It will shine for years on the favorite hill we sat and watched Olivia and her friends play. Oh, and did I mention the oak tree to be planted? Our friends…help keep us whole. Thank you.

Heading to Mexico
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
We wanted to introduce you to the family we are building the first home for through Olivia’s Basket. Our own family heads out today, work gloves for the build and baby clothes for this young family packed in our luggage. We are not doing this alone though. Faithful friends will be helping with the painting and hammers while others gave sacrificially to make this happen. We are so grateful. None of us expects this to be easy. The reason for going is still raw to us, yet we see the immense good this will bring. Thank you for following this vision with us. You are needed and appreciated. We’ll talk to you soon. Oh, and of course I have my camera. Pictures do say so many things don’t they? In Him, Jane
