Wow it has been a long time since I have updated this blog...and alot has happened. Well, first was that The Cadets won the World Drum Corps Championships with the highest score ever in DCI history. We are very thrilled and proud of Bob. It truely has been an awesome experience. And now we are already into a new year. The Cadets are already hard at work on their new program for 2006. Bob also marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade with The Cadets. Bob says this was a great experience and time.
Holly is growing up and this year she will be marching with 7th Regiment out of New London. They are a division 3 corps in DCI. Great starting point for her. Maybe one day she will be a Cadet.
Things with me are about the same. I am still working with Midstate VNA and also maintaining my online store Books Galore and So Much More

I have recently start an online workshop on Facilitating Online groups. Workship is given by Nancy White. This is a great workshop and although alot of work it is really enlightening. I have found alot of great people with great experiences from this group. Can't wait to see what the upcoming weeks reveal.
Well that is it for now, I was reading the notes from one of the participants of this online workshop that said something along the lines of ...you have to make time for blogging and other things because there is never enough time in a day. So I am going to set aside time each day to reflect in this blog
