IT'S HEEERRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so proud of you, CANNOT wait to see you online at one! xoxoxo, bunny
ReplyDeleteoh bunny, the weekend was so much fun:) So happy I have you to share it with!!!! xoxo
DeleteI laughed out loud at that pic of Abby and Tommy.. Tommy's face is priceless!! So happy for you and this big day.. I've always admired about you that once you get something up your butt you make it happen so I think it was meant to be that this whole thing happened for you, it takes a very special person to make something like this (that most people really don't want to hear) so huge!! Hats off to you Miss L!!
ReplyDeleteLindsey! Your words blew me away. Thank you so much for saying them and how lucky am I to have a girlfriend like you:)?! And yes, don't you love tommy's face!?!? I can just hear him in the picture!! xoxo
DeleteHello Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteI was very excited to read an article in the "Lake County Journal" called Food Revolution incites passion for home-cooked meals this morning. I think you and I share the same passion for helping people understand how food affects their health. Let me introduce myself, my name is Michele Holmes and I am the director of a food pantry/clothing sharing center in Lake Villa. The sharing center is called “Luke 3:11 Sharing Center" and we are located on the property of Renew Community Church. Our center opened in July 2012 and we are already sharing food and clothing to over 700 people a month. What makes our sharing center special is, we distributes fresh produce that we pick up from Costco and Jewel to our guest and we promote healthy eating. We are one of the few food pantries in Lake County that will take perishable food. Our sharing center also sits on 6 acres and over this last year our old produce has helped raised chickens, rabbits, pigs, and a cow that gave us fresh milk. One of our goals is to start offering educational food classes to our guest and people in the community. I was hoping you or Food Revolution would be able to help us in this area; or maybe we are meant to help you in some way....... I am not sure how, but that’s okay because we are all learning here as we go.
I was not sure how to contact you directly, so I thought I would start here:)
Sincerely,
Michele Holmes
If you would like to see the sharing center in action; we are open the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month (June 14th, and 28th) from 12:00 – 3:00.
