Our closest Starbucks has recently remodeled. One of the great things about this one is that it features artwork from our kids' former elementary school. The Art Specialist there was a kindergarten teacher when we were a Sabin family. Chris Lamp does an amazing job with those kids. Original artwork and prints are for sale there.
Sign of the times...
Ever since Cherise went on a mission trip to South Central Los Angels and was introduced to Krispy Kreme doughnuts, our family has periodically stopped to pick up a dozen. We especially enjoyed the perk of getting a "free hot doughnut" when the sign outside read "HOT NOW". A couple of years ago to save money they would give 1/4 of a doughnut as their "freebie". Shortly after that they re-instated the whole doughnut give-away.
We stopped by there other night...drawn by that neon beacon. Alas no free doughnuts. The girl acted like she had no idea what we were talking about. Sad.
"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's"
In the case of these specific taxes it's going to be: give whatever is Krystle's back to Krystle.
Whenever we have to pay a tax bill we wait until the last moment to get the $ sent out. But Krystle reminded me a couple weeks ago that she needed to get her taxes filed. I ended up doing them this morning. Nothing like last minute! Thank God for online forms and fast internet. I would not have been happy to schlep out to the post office to pick up forms at 5:30 this morning. Do they even carry the forms at the post office anymore?
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
There are a couple of large planters outside of our remodeled Starbucks. Aren't they pretty?
We aren't as involved in community doings as we were when our older kids were in school.
But there is a large percentage of people from our neighborhood that gather for fellowship at St Arbucks. Sometimes we join them.

I vaguely remember Mr.Lamp, didn't one of us have him for a teacher?
P.S. I love the flowers outside St Arbucks :)
None of you were in Mr Lamp's class. He taught in the classroom directly below the office on the lower level of the school.
I thought I remembered being in his classroom but I can't remember why... weird
I was in an after school science thing taught by him I'm pretty sure. Maybe Alyssa you took art?
