Ballet Folklorico and Book Sales Benefit SMUM

We went to the Santa Clara Barnes and Noble tonight after work to buy books and see the Fuego Nuevo Ballet folklorico group dance to benefit Santa Maria Urban Ministry. SMUM provides basic services in the inner city of San Jose, CA: both short-term needs such as food, clothing and transportation, and long-term transformation through education, counseling, and after-school and seasonal programs. Tonight's book sale and dance benefit event will help raise money to buy and install a playground at SMUM. Some photos from tonight:

Care Package from College

Since my daughter Jessica left for college (CMU in Pittsburgh, PA), I have been soothing my maternal anxiety by sending her care packages: books and funny socks and snacks and her mail and family pictures. (I love the U.S. Postal Service $8.95 flat rate boxes!)

Today, we came home to find a care package in the mail from Jessica. Knowing that none of us bake so well as she does, she sent us a box of dorm-made peanut butter cookies with two campus newspapers. Delicious!
