Rich and Denise Currie


The 160th day of 2022 is the last day that the Currie Family will live in Oaklyn.  Yes, 6/9/2022 is a rough day for my nostalgic side.  Because, as a younger parent, just having another set of parents around to use as a model, mentors, a guide was quite comforting.  Because wherever we went to get involved, the Curries were there.  PTA Meeting, can we get involved, the Curries were there.  Little League, can we coach?  Can we volunteer?  The Curries were there.  OMAYSC, OEF, and then the Collingswood HS PTA, we got involved, and the Curries were there.  I am not sure I can conceive Oaklyn without the Curries, so I just won't.  Because the Curries might be moving away from Oaklyn but for me, they will always still be a part of my community.  So my Two For 2022 are Rich and Denise Currie - cornerstones of my Oaklyn experience, now and forever!

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
