Exciting News!

     The FDA training workshop trip to DC was a wonderful learning experience!  I met so many new FACS and science teacher friends from all over the United States.  The workshop was very intense and interactive.  Each day was full of educational work and professional development activities that I will be able to use in my classroom with students. We had the opportunity every evening to explore our wonderful Capitol city.  It is a very historical family friendly city.  I loved visiting the museums, the Smithsonian's and touring the war memorials.  Regardless of your political views, Washington, DC is a place worth experiencing!
     Below is a picture of a few crazy friends celebrating after graduation!
     During my DC trip, I learned that my daughter, Catherine Reynolds, and her family will be moving down to our area in August.  It will be wonderful to have them close by after so many years of living in northern Alabama.  I can't wait to spend more time with my little grandson!  
     According to his other grandparents he is reading already at 14 months!  I've missed so much!
     A Baldwin County newspaper article will be hitting the press this coming week, August 5th, featuring my cookbook From LA to LA and the new Wedding Dress Portraits.  So, pick up a copy and share with your friends!
     It looks like it is time for me to turn my attention to the start of school and preparing for Catherine's "big move"--I think it will be a very busy few months!
     Enjoy the last days of summer vacation ya'll!
