My Cheese Experience

So I love cheese.  I don’t just like cheese, I absolutely LOVE cheese.  If anyone asks what my favorite food is, I reply without hesitation “I love cheese”.  When I was a little girl, my mom used to tell me “You eat so much cheese, you’re going to turn into a mouse when you grow up!”.  40-something years later and I haven’t turned into a mouse yet, but I still LOVE cheese.

My turn in the barrel…

So I got great news this past Friday morning….I had been trying to change the name on an airline ticket from Richard to Jane so that my mom-in-law could join Jonathan and I in Atlanta, GA to see the King Tut exhibit.  US Airways graciously agreed (after some fanangling involving a notary public on our part) to change the name on the airline ticket for free!!  Even though it was difficult, that was still wonderful news!

Amy Stirnkorb and Julie Knowles

So I drove down to the Coffee Bean in Mission Valley today to meet with Leigh Fenly, Amy Zimmerman and Amy Stinkorb to discuss the re-design of the Women’s Empowerment International website.  We’re all excited to see how it will evolve!

What I’m really excited about is the start of a working relationship with Amy Stirnkorb who is a graphics designer!  While we were there, she asked if I’d be interested in working with her.  She has to turn down jobs for websites because she doesn’t know how to do the back end.  Now we can partner up with her on the front end and me on the back end….YAY!!

In Celebration of Sam

Today the family and friends of Hilburne “Sam” Earle Knowles celebrated his life with a graveside military service held at 10:00am (Greenwood Memorial Park) and a funeral service held at 2:00pm (Light of the Valley Church).

Both services were very well done. The number of friends who showed up in support was amazing and a true testament to who Sam was as a person.  He was well-known in the community as a handyman and his daughters Joy and Carol had inscribed on the urn “That’s okay, my Daddy can fix it”.
