NEW CLASSES BEING GENERATED NOW

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support as our family says goodbye to its oldest member , my Grandma, my sons Great-Grandma, she was 92 and was a part of our lives. I was very lucky to be with her the evening before she passed away. This has been a difficult time especially for my father, this was his mother.

I am now back in the swing of things and I deeply apologize for the gap in my postings.

I have posted the General Help Schedule for June and July

I am generating classes for June and July. Some of June is posted in my Bravenet Calendar just click the blinking icon and flip through the calendar to see what is evolving. I should be done with this after class today before dinner.

As always if you have any questions please feel free to call Sip & Knit, Inc at 407-622-KNIT or me at 407-718-1280

Thank you and I hope to see you all at the big table!!

Long Time no Post!!

So much as been going on since my last post.

My son Alex now about to turn 14, made the Allstate Middle School Audition Band here in Florida, and he has also made 1st Chair for All County Middle School in Seminole County. We had a great time in Tampa with our fellow school mates. Boy was it cold that weekend. It was held at the Tampa Convention Center Jan 7th, 8th, and 9th. He is such a great percussionist and just a heart and soul musician he makes me so proud. It even cancels out all that aggravation he causes me just being a teenager!! This is the picture we took after his concert with his Allstate Plaque:
I will be adding more pictures to my flickr account so click on that in the coming week to see them under family stuff!!

I have scheduled classes at Sip & Knit, Inc. so look for that posting this week as well. I will update the calendar at the same time. Rae-Ann's classes will be up as well.

Check back this week for the class list and sign up at Sip & Knit, Inc. for the mailing list if you have not done so already.

See you in Class!!
