4/19/2013 - Day #109 of lucky year 2013.....I am truly lucky and blessed to live in such a wonderful community that is Oaklyn. How wonderful that so many activities were going on at once tonight. The Science Fair (thanks to Lorraine Rigler and Diane Gualano for organizing) showed the talents of the OPS' future scientists, while the Oaklyn Little League had two games on the fields, plus practices (thanks to Sarah Grimaldi, Eric M. Smith, Katherine Ashman-Justus, and Kristin ...Olsen for handling (AND CLEANING) the Snack Stand so that Sarah Jayne Sherr and I could be at the PTA Ice Cream Social! And we had so many wonderful volunteers helping as well from School Board Member Mrs. Riley to PTA President Michele Lavanture Phillips, to Kathy Booth, to Jackie Walters and Kevin Walters and the OPS Student Council. All in all, hundreds of students, parents, coaches, teachers, and friends enjoyed all the events in Oaklyn tonight - nice job Oaklyn, love the community and the focus on fun and safe activities for the kids. Also, MANY THANKS TO DARLENE BROOME who helped us in the School from setup to cleanup. Good Night!

Day #152 of lucky year 2013 is 6/1/2013. Day #152 of 2004 was also VERY lucky for us. Anna Victoria Sherr was born and what a joy she is and continues to be! I am so proud of how she is growing up - she makes me laugh, she makes me see the good in life, she makes me so happy. It goes without saying that what I feel lucky for today is this beautiful daughter of mine.

5/8/13 - Cleansing Rain

5/8/2013 - Day #128 of lucky year 2013. Today, I feel lucky for the cleansing power of rain. Sure, it was frustrating the way that Mother Nature played games with us today - sunny/pouring/sunny/sprinkles/partly sunny/POURING - but the rain seems to have washed away much of the pollen that has been causing me great nasal distress....so tonight, I am breathing better and for that, I feel lucky.

5/11/13 - Miss Shernoff's Wedding

Today was day 131 of lucky year 2013. Now, 131 is a palindrome so you KNEW it would be a good day. And it was, spent with family, meaning even more since I will be working much of the next two days (including Mother's Day) because of Graduation events.....I REALLY felt lucky tonight when Sarah and her mom, Winnie Walters were playing beautiful music at Miss Shernoff's wedding. Not only did their music move me (as it usually does), but I was able to see the joy in Anna and her friend's faces as they were able to attend the ceremony and see one of their favorite teachers get married. Best comment overheard "I am pinching myself so I know this is not a dream!" This pure joy is exactly what I feel a wedding should be about. And the music, and the girls' reactions brought that joy to the forefront. Amen!
