Well, Spring Break is finally here and I am looking forward to a week without my students!
Don't think that it will be a week of nothing to do; I have a list of things to get done:
** Work on grant applications
**Get blankets sewn for 3 upcoming Craft Shows
**Clean house & do laundry, mundane household things of that sort
**Get all of our papers together for tax preparation
**and other things I can't think of right now....
Chris still has to work this week (both jobs) so keep him in your prayers.
The DX Kid's Cafe (our concession stand) at the Greater Houston HamFest on Saturday, March 6, went really well! We had some great helpers for the day! Chris came with me in the morning (were there at 6:30 am) and his mom met us there and stayed to help bring the remaining stuff back to our house (got home around 3:30). Our friends, Dawn & Virginia, came out and were very helpful. Also the two daughters of one of my dad's friends (Andre) were a huge help as well! We didn't have as many sales as we hoped, but we did net about $1200 when it was all done and the money counted (after paying Dad back and our expenses). Not a bad day!! Of course, we do have stuff left over that I am not sure exactly what to do with, but I will figure it out this week.
We now have just a little over $10.000 in the bank! Only about $30.000 more to go. One of the things I need to do this week is see if I can get us a credit card for travel expenses. Need to add that to my list...
Please continue to pray for us during this time: that the funds come in, paperwork gets done in a timely manner, our children and their current caretakers.
