This is a picture of Sydney, building a snowman in her front yard in none other than Peachtree City, Georgia. This is the same Sydney who begged her mommy and daddy to pleeease take the family to Grandma's for Christmas so we can pleeease see SNOW!!! They did come north for Christmas, and as Paul's parents live only 1 1/2 hours from H & S, they came over for a visit. We ate Christmas dinner, played games, looked at pictures, but we did NOT play in the snow, because there was none. There had been nearly a foot on the ground the prior week, but a warm streak melted it away before the Georgia peaches arrived. This week, however, in her very own yard, Sydney got her snow. God does have a sense of humor.
Speaking of snow, I saw on the news tonight that today, Irvine, CA had a blizzard! And speaking of arctic air, today, P's hometown had the lowest temp in the state at -27.
In other news, today I visited an independent school in a nearby city, in the same association as the school I worked at several years back. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and seeing it was a real treat. I had always wanted a tour, and today I got one! The buildings are in the round and are all connected to one another so that you don't have to go outside to get from place to place. They have a glass blowing studio (one of 4 schools in the nation), and potters wheels in the art room. Being there brought back happy memories. Oh, and did I mention that the school is on the lake, just across the street from the lighthouse? It only adds to the charm. They also have a fieldhouse with a fitness center that all employees get to use for free. I was reminded of the culture of the independent school, where learning how to learn and learning to love learning are just as important as passing tests.
