Endings and beginnings ...

Kevin is counting down the hours ... tomorrow is his VERY LAST DAY at New Life Girls' Home. Starting on Tuesday next week he will only have one job (other than his worship duties at church and seminary courses at Tyndale). Since he's been volunteering at the radio station for the past four years, AND doing worship duties, AND working full-time at New Life Girls' Home, AND doing foundational courses, AND doing occasional contract work with Eagle's Flight (to assist in the income department) this is a substantial reduction in his busy-ness :). He very much enjoyed his ongoing work with Eagle's Flight, however doing the morning show will make this impossible, at least for the near future.

Alison has completed her volunteer duties at the Main Branch of the County Library System. She has had a lot of fun doing it, and they would like to keep her however our schedule won't allow it during the school year. She was really encouraged by her superiors, who provided her with an official "Letter of Recommendation". It was extremely positive and she's feeling quite proud :). At the moment, her plans are to do some volunteering at a local veterinary clinic next summer, hoping that it will then morph into an after-school position once she's in high school.

And Wednesday I have to take a cull ewe and two ram lambs to "Uncle Ted's" (euphenism for the abbatoir) in Wellington. An ending for them, to be sure. And a beginning for me ... do I really have what it takes to raise our own food? Because this unpleasant task is part of the circle, and I'm really, really dreading it.
