February is Almost Gone...
And the weather is pulling us outside!
We were downtown today and I couldn't resist a couple of pictures.
The Lighthouse, of course, because a beautiful day down there is perfection, and the Keepers House, which looked so nice in the bright sunshine.
I am looking forward to walks to town again!

Harford County Eats- Georgia's Take Out
Tim and I have decided to start trying out new places to eat around Harford County.
We really pretty much go to all the same places whenever we eat out, and we thought it would be fun to start exploring places that we have never tried before.
I was hoping to find an alphabetical list somewhere, but I can't find one online.
We have tried almost every eatery in Havre de Grace, so we stepped over to Aberdeen to a little shop parked next to a surgical center. I had heard about this place from my friend, Celeste, but we hadn't tried it yet.
Holy Cow.
The place has zero atmosphere, and some truly amazing food.
Georgia makes her own soups, every day, from scratch.
The gentleman at the counter, her husband I imagine, offered me samples of today's special soups. A black bean and pasta, Lasagne, and Sweet Potato and Corn.
The Sweet Potato soup was so good!! I bought a bowl to bring home.
The menu is huge, but most of it is just American. Burgers, chicken fingers, fries, wraps and salads.
Down in one corner is a section offering authentic Greek food.
The Lamb Gyro. Oh Yes. 100% lamb slices, with all the fresh fixings that you find on a regular Gyro.
It was so good!!
We are glad that we started with Georgia's.
She's a little Greek treasure.

Lobby Night in Annapolis
Today, in Annapolis, the Maryland Catholic Conference hosted the annual "Catholics in Annapolis" event. This is an excellent opportunity for Catholics to participate in the process of governing our state.
The event begins at St John Neuman Church, where a briefing is held to inform Catholics of the current legislation that we need to be aware of.
Tony and Maryann Vitelli and I were really fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with our two delegates, Glenn Glass, and Maryann Lisanti.
The meetings were very informative and productive.
I was pleased that our representatives are working hard and were willing to listen to what we had to say. We didn't have a chance to meet with our Senator, Bob Casilly, but we spoke with him outside the reception, and he assured us that he supports the legislation that we were there to discuss.
The four issues that were of the most importance were:
The last part of the event is a catered reception. Present this year were Cardinal Whuerl, Archbishop Lori, Bishop Malooly of Wilmington and many other priests and clergy. There was also a concert featuring a group of schoolchildren that were extremely talented!

New Leaves
It appears that I am now a seasonal blogger.
Sheesh, that last post was from June!
I need to get caught up on a few things.
Brendan graduated from high school. Which I think I already posted, but it was how we started off the Summer! Very exciting, and now I am down to one student.
I officially started my business over the Summer. This isn't something that you can do in a week, or even a month. It started with filing the name with the state, getting insurance and business cards, and then waiting for the various agencies and individuals to do their jobs.
They came through and New Leaf Organizing Services was born.
I have been working as an independant contractor for Sappari Solutions, and so far things are going quite well. I am working just enough eack week to pay for tuition for John and Brendan, and I am still home most of the week to give Paul's junior year and our co-op classes the attention they need.
John is doing a full load at Harford Community College. He is taking four classes, and is on the dean's list and honor society. His grades last semester were great and he is working hard to keep them that way. He is majoring in business and he will probably transfer to a university next Fall.
Brendan is taking two classes. Astronomy and the lab that goes with it. He is just trying to get his feet wet this semester so that he can take on more in the Spring.
Paul has a very full schedule this year.
We are finishing up Algebra II, more of a review actually while he prepares to take his ACT test.
He also has Literature, History, World Religions, Karate, Dama, Film, and Robotics for science.
Several of these subjects are being covered in our co-op.
I am teaching Religion, and Literature, and helping out with History, Drama and Film.
Our co-op is under-going a pretty dramatic change. We have moved from our old location at the Boys and Girls Club, and are now going to be using the upstairs of the school at St Patricks Church here in Havre de Grace. It has been a rather daunting task, as much for the parish as for our families. The Archdiocese requires all adults to be cleared for the protection of the children, which is a good practice, and the kids have to be trained to recognize potentially abusive situations. We have also opened the o-op to several new families and it has been a rather uphill climb to get everything ready, but we had our first day last week and I thoroughly enjoyed my classes! What a great group of kids!!
For Drama they will be performing "Our Town", a great little play.
I am glad that Paul is up for it. I love watching him perform on stage.
We have a new deck, and a new door our to it from the kitchen. I absolutely love it and I have been enjoying my coffee out there most mornings.
We have been so blest to be able to add that this year. Tim works so hard, and the house is a his ongoing project. Nice for him that the deck project was one that we hired someone to do. It got done so quick and now we have it to enjoy!
Speaking of ongoing projects, this is a temperature blanket that I have been adding a row to each day.
It is so much fun!! I am getting back into the cooler colors and I never knnow how it will look!
I hope that it isn't Christmas before I post again!
