Yesterday was a WILD day for us! Phil began the day at his 6:45 a.m. Kiwanis breakfast followed by his weekly Emmaus "homeboys" Reunion group. Meanwhile, back at the farm, I served breakfast to our "surprise" but "Oh so welcome" houseguest, Bruce! He will be joined by Beth, his wife, tonight and they will be our guests until Sunday! We are delighted to have them, and it's not just because it gave us an excuse not to drive to Albuquerque for a meeting today!


More about the above picture of Bruce with Phil and friend, later!

At lunch we participated in an FCA luncheon at CHS. Several hundred students participated. There was grilled hotdogs, the back of a pick-up filled with crushed ice with canned pop buried in it and a "remote" from a local radio station.
This girl just happened to be wearing one of the 800 t-shirts we designed and distributed last year! Go figure! I don't even know her name.

After lunch we visited Bella Vista Arts Academy where friend, and legendary artist, Bruce is guiding a group of students in a mosaic project.





After our visit with these kids I had just enough time for a weight workout at the CCC gym before picking up pizzas and cokes and heading to THS for a training/meeting with my girls over there.


You'd think that would have been enough activity for one day well...... I arrived home just about in time for Phil and I to head to Lincoln Jackson for a forum on African American tobacco issues! We had six state reps from Albuq come in to join with leaders from the black community locally. The two-hour session ended up going over three hours but the best part was "soul food!" Fortunately, I did not have to run, nor was I in charge of that meeting! Whew!!!!!
