Happy New Year Everyone!
 
As many of you know, my dad passed away three days after Christmas.
Fortunately we were up in NY for my niece’s wedding and I was able to be with him during his last moments.  It really is a relief to know that he has shed his heavy, cumbersome, earthly body and his soul is now free to roam the heavens and watch over us all. Many of you had an opportunity  to dance with him while he was staying with me last summer for about 5 weeks and I thank you all for making his stay here fun.  He did win a jitterbug contest when he was in his early 20′s and he was singing and trying to dance right up to the end.

Subject: Accepting the PLENTY

I was on the cusp of filling out an application, (it’s actually still on my desktop with every line filled except the Payment Option) but now I’m putting that on hold.  I want everyone to know that I also don’t take Discover or American Express because of the extra fees to use those particular cards (which may even be less than the 10% that the PLENTY charges), but I have never had a customer not pay or walk away because I don’t accept those cards, which has happened with customers who come and want to pay with the PLENTY./div

What is Our Neighborhood School?

IT’S A SCHOOL!
The private school is dedicated to individualized attention as well as a creative curriculum. Students are involved in the running of the restaurant and catering, maintenace of the school grounds, they are stewards of the Rain Garden which is located behind the Pittsboro Community House, they participate in the Jr. Solar Sprint Program where they are building a solar model car and will compete in a race at NC State in the spring. Right now my 7th and 8th graders are hard at work with Geometry and each are taking a different foreign language via the computer. We also work on our keyboarding skills. We are participating in the Journey North Tulip Project which is an experiment involving students across the Northern Hemisphere tracking the growth of tulips as the season changes from winter to spring.

Subject: November Menu

Hi Everyone,

This month I am adding Pumpkin and Sage Ravioli with Sage Butter to my menu. I roasted the pumpkins this morning and the raviolis look beautiful. I also started making my two soups: Red Soup (or chicken soup if you didn’t grow up in my family) and Pasta Fasule – panchetta, beans, carrots, celery, tomatoes, pasta…very hearty.

Subject: Chatham County cool places

I would like to echo the recent post about PC’s Cool Place. It is a great place for a meal or just ice cream. A good friend took me there recently and we had a great time. My son’s were treated like royalty. Any place that calls me darlin and takes care of my kids is on my list. Next time you are in Siler City, go check out this little gem. It is not that far off the path, just blocks from downtown.  Tell them Darlin’ sent you.

Subject: It’s our Anniversary!

Hello Everyone,

Another month has gone by and believe it or not we are celebrating our one year anniversary this month! I can’t believe it has been a full year.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL
The school year is winding down. The kids are working on the Haw River Mural across the street from the General Store. They have been working so hard on their renditions of local wildlife. Pretty soon you will see the turtles, eagles, caterpillars and lizards that the kids at ONS drew, come to life and be forever (at least for a few years) captured in downtown Pittsboro.
