Tonight was our community's annual Fall Supper. It is a marvelous event! There is a line up out the door of the community hall at the busy point of the evening. The turkey supper is a combined effort of most of the members of our community. Everyone is asked to donate something, from carrots, to pickles, to salads to desserts. Volunteers cook the turkeys, slice, mash, & warm the food & later clean up. The Jr. high class from our school take shifts serving.
Besides a full belly, most wonderful thing is seeing all of the friends & neighbors that we may not have visited with in a while. It is a wonderfully warm & welcoming atmosphere.
I think K has been to too many of her older sisters volleyball matches lately though, because as we were leaving, she asked. " Can we go watch volleyball now?".
I started this blog hoping to inspire other parents to help their children with Down syndrome reach for the sky! My daughter was reading words, before she was 2 years of age & reading books by 3.5 years. I believe kids with Down syndrome can do amazing things if we give them the right tools. I truly believe high expectations can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children!
