Changes

Good Morning to All!!!!

I have not posted in a while but a lot has been going on with me, and I have had to rethink a few things.  First of all, I finally found a position of some permanence. It was a result of my job with the Visitor Center in the sense that I heard about the new position through friends at the Visitor Center and was recommended by them, but the two are not connected.  After a long period of wanting to find employment with something similar to my previous work with The Festival-Institute in Texas, and have a rewarding new opportunity, it has HAPPENED!  I am now the new Coordinator of the Suffolk Seaboard Station, the 1885 railroad museum and gift shop pictured above!  I am VERY happy about this, and want to develop new programs and bring the Station to the forefront of Suffolk tourism where it should be!  It is the Station's 10th anniversary year, having been restored completely in 2000, and I want to make this year a great year, as well as each one thereafter. 

I love blogging, and certainly would love to share everything going on with the Station, but I have decided that I need to take a break from A Colorful World for a while.  I have a lot to do.  I am very much involved with the Crisis Pregnancy Centers still, of course, and now with my position with the Station, and I feel like my focus has to be there.  I WILL be back, I promise!  First of all, I will check back in a week or so, to make sure I see any comments anyone makes concerning this announcement.  I'd love to hear from you!  And I may post something on this blog or my quilt blog Pieceful-ness every couple of months or so, if you want to check periodically.  But, a blogger I will not truly be, at least for a while.  I will miss you all, and hope you will not forget about me till I feel I can come back.  When I can, I will visit each one and let you all know I'm still around!  :-)  But it will be a while.  Till then, God bless!  Take care!

The Snow at Our Place!

Here are some very hungry cardinals in the side yard...we put out some bird seed and other goodies right before the storm.

Chowing down at the feeder....and on the ground.

A darling junco....

 

And waiting diners lined up on the fence....

 I know, I know--they are starlings, but look how cute they are!

And the junco waiting his turn...

Snow on the steps.....

 

The snow on our car hood had a hole in it, I guess because the engine had been warm.  It looked like a tunnel for an animal.  But, look how deep the snow piled up on our car!

This little tree looked appropriately Christmasy....

The neighbor's snowfort.  They were cute outside with their little boy building it in the snowfall, and also throwing snowballs at each other....I sure miss my grandson!  Wish he had been here for this.
