Alissa is Recognized

Alissa and I were invited to attend the Lions Club District 44-H Cabinet Meeting. Alissa and her friend Amanda were recognized for their efforts in establishing the first Leos Club at Kingswood Regional High School.

In the picture above (left to right) is Ronald Sundquist, Wolfeboro Lion and Founding Sponsor of the Kingswood Leos Club; Amanda Spiller, Founding Vice President Kingswood Leos Club; Alissa Andrews, Founding President Kingswood Leos Club and Stephen Schmidt, King Lion Wolfeboro Club.

It was so awesome and humbling to witness such dedication and commitment to serving the people of New Hampshire and the world. I definitely felt the calling and I felt.... inclusive.

I also thought of Grandpa Ryer and his Kiwanis. I said something to Alissa and she informed me that the Kingswood Key Club, which she is a member and the treasuer, is under the Kiwanis just as the Leos Club is under the Lions. I didn't know that....

It was a wonderfull morning followed by a very beautiful day. Thank you, Ron!

Happy 17th Birthday ~ Alissa

Alissa's 17th birthday celebration. Kyle and his room mate Nick (aka Tapout) joined us for the celebration. She looks very H-A-P-P-Y to me. In keeping with the Roberts/Andrews tradition, Alissa chose the meal. We had steak tenderloin with apple brandy sauce, sauted carrots, rosemary & sage roasted sweet potatoes, spinach salad with carmelized onions and ANGEL food cake with strawberry sauce. It was a wonderful dinner. Alissa can have a birthday anytime.

Also, note the dinning room curtains are complete and the table cloth mom gave us for Christmas looks absolutely lovely.
