Thanks much!

Wow, I didn't know you did Big Brother/Big Sisters Sheryl! Brendon and I used to mentor for a local organization that helps children who have at least one parent incarcerated. It was such a rewarding experience. We had to stop when we got different jobs over the summer and then school got busy so we haven't done it in a while, but it was so much fun when we were able to!

We got matched this past April. As you say, it's heartwarming.

LOL - sorry I didn't elaborate more earlier...I didn't realize the time when I replied and I had to head out the door for an appt. Had to cut it short, LOL Ooops.

Yes, we were matched with our Little Kimberlee last April. She's 9 and is a sweet girl. We've done activities from fishing, river play, shopping, eating out, and I think our favorite is going to the movies. Our next play day I was already planning on a craft day to make pine cone bird feeders. But depending on the weather I might change it to the poem paperbag.

Thanks again for the idea!

Thats a wonderful idea Sheryl, i'm sure the little darling will love doing that

the pine cone bird feeder is a wonderful idea too!!

That's so much fun - the bird feeders. We had a sturdy wire off the back window we hung just for the pinecones so we could watch them fly in and nibble, and draw pictures or use a camera, and identify them in our bird books.
