One Day Late, One Good Habit
Yesterday, our family ran errands and drove to Washington, DC to board our 2nd daughter, Anne, on a plane bound for Paris. We will not see her till Dec. as she will be studying abroad this fall. Please read, under the tab About Ginny on this web site, the memorable moment about cooking co-op's influence on Anne's love of languages. So with lump in my throat, I read her text message Sept. 1, 1:28 am- Got here safely. Love you all! Recently, our family went to Kiawah, SC. While there I took a number of fantastic tennis clinics and one of the instructors, David Boyd said: "One bad habit can really hold you back." So for 22 years, I have been involved in cooking co-op which has given me the structure needed for one good habit. Anne this morning is in France, speaking french which she began learning in 5th grade every Thursday night when Ivy came to our home for dinner and then spent 30 minutes tutoring Anne and sharing her wonderful stories of her time studying abroad. One more quote from Kiawah tennis, in honor of the U.S. Open, "To be successful in tennis, as in life, you must be focused and pay attention to the details." Roy Barth Get focused with cooking co-op this fall!
