Lysa's Central Florida Happenings

When I was a kid, 4th or 5th grade I used to get National Geographic's magazine for kids, I think it was called "World" then, and I loved it.

Back in March Sarah Cooper put forth a challenge to us, Make Someone Smile Challenge (Yes, I Mean It), does anyone remember this post? Sarah, I actually remembered it this morning when I realized I met your challenge during our recent St. Jude events without even trying.  Sarah challenged us to g...

I know you all are anxious to hear how everything went last weekend, I'm sorry it took so long to tell you about it.
