Steve was our neighbour for the past 6 years. He was a very talanted and generous person. He loved Buchart Gardens and spoke 4-5 languages fluently. He was a teacher and had traveled to many interesting places. He had incredible knowledge of classical music and was an amazing composer. He wrote quite a few piano pieces for Madalyn for her birthday and Christmas (which he is playing for her in this photo) and an anniversary piece for my husband and I. Steve never forgot anyone's Birthday so he waited for his own so he could go out in style. IT was Steve's time to go....and he was ready this time.... God must have needed a new pianist and he sure is in for a treat!!!
REASON SEASON OR LIFETIME
By: Brian A. "Drew" Chalker
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON. . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
Then people come into your life for a SEASON. Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
THANK YOU for being a part of my life.

Robert Kaufman generously donated a charm pack for each member of participating chapters in the Modern Quilt Guild to use for a challenge project of our choosing.
The NOVA Modern Quilt Guild selected the Bright palate (http://www.robertkaufman.com/pre-cut/konareg_cotton_solids_bright_palette1/) to work with and each of us made one or more mini quilts (29"x29" to 45"x45"). The members were allowed to add fabric from their stash as long as the charms remained the stars of the show. The quilts will be donated to the INOVA Fairfax Children's Hospital NICU.
This quilt was created by Tif

Gov. Justice delivers keynote address during 2018 Commencement ceremonies at WVSOM
5/27/2018
Osteopathic School bestows honorary doctorate degree on Governor "for his invaluable contributions, generosity and strong support of WVSOM, the community and the state"
CHARLESTON, WV - West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice delivered the keynote address Saturday during the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine’s 41st commencement ceremonies in Lewisburg.
Following the Governor's address, WVSOM President Dr. Michael Adelman, bestowed an honorary doctorate degree on Gov. Justice “for his invaluable contributions, strong support and generosity to WVSOM, the community and the state.”
Gov. Justice told the graduates they “were an elite group,” but that life’s journey is long and there is always room to be better.
“I would tell you that this life is now going to take you on a journey,” Gov. Justice said. “What do you have to do in life to get better? I would bet you would say study harder, or be more focused, be more determined, communicate better or try harder. But I would tell you just this, if you want to get better in this life the first thing you need to do is admit you’re doing something wrong. It’s the foundation of everything around us. We often times forget that.”
Justice said that after medical school there may be times when life will be tough, but being a graduate of WVSOM will have great rewards.
“You graduates have been prepared by these great people and this great institution,” he said. “You may go off for a while, but we want you back, right here in West Virginia. We are really, truly moving forward. This state is going to provide you with opportunities. Go on your way in life and do greatness, but you’ve got to come back.”

This man let us sleep in one of his family's thatched-roofed huts for the night as the border to Ethiopia was closed. Even though there were 9 of us, we were grateful...
