A Beautiful Bench

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.
