The last one. . . .

I know that most of the time I write about food, because, I LOVE to eat. This year has been a great year so far. Naomi is finishing her Preschool year at BITC. BITC is our daycare. It is much more than a daycare. Yes, the teachers and staff have cared for our children, however I have found many friends there for me, and my kids, and just had a lovely experience.

Tonight is the annual potluck dinner. . . . the first one I attended was NINE years ago, when Mark was an infant. . . . and now, he is nearly nine years old. And this is our LAST potluck. While I will appreciate the extra cash in my pocket, I will miss the teachers and staff. Leslie, Michelle, Jean, and others who have been there LONGER than us. They make the place tick. I remember Alice, the infant teacher, who left during Naomi's infant year to care for her aging mom. Alice was a great teacher, although I think she should have been a doctor. She knew exactly when Mark was coming down with an ear infections, and was the one Mark puked on the most when he developed said ear infection.

Mary, who cooks, delicious food for the kids. Wayne who comes weekly to sing with the kids. Annalee, Peggy, Kristie, Stephanie, Sarah and many others who I love to see daily (hopefully). I am glad that we will see each of them tonight, and daily until the fateful day in August comes, when I clean out the last Weitzman cubby at BITC. Leslie will be sure to have ALOT of Kleenex that day!
