Watching Growth and Saying Good Bye

Wow,  just like that we are at the end of another year and saying good bye to another year.  Soon 2016 just a memory to relish and look back on.  I don’t know how you started your first day of December but I started mine watching a great play, drum line, children choir and the growth of a program to feed children fine arts.
