Great news here and maybe you have to start thinking about some automation there my brother. I would say a small factory with a furnace and some mobile stainless steel sap holding bins?
It will take the joy out of the hard manual method, but just a thought here as we are not getting younger 😉
Thank you for the great support to our charity.
I am trying something new here and you are the first to receive this DNA share note.
Any comments on improvements will be appreciated, as it is a home made effort.
Cheers and !BEER
Good morning @papilloncharity. Sorry for such a late reply, but busy, busy, busy has been the way around here for me lately.
After that last batch of syrup, I might take your suggestions into consideration. 😁
Supporting such a wonderful organization is our pleasure, as you continue to make the lives of those in need of assistance, a little brighter.
Everything you do is done with such professionalism and this DNA note you're sending out is no different. I took a look at the link and there are some wonderful blogs already featured on it.
I'm headed to NJ today and will take a better look at some of the posts you included in your DNA share note when I return.
It's humbling for you to send out the first note to me and for you to ask me for my opinion.
Great work my friend,! I'm not sure how you find the time to do all that you do, but when something needs to get done, ask a busy man to do it and it will usually come to fruition.
Good evening to you Sir @thebigsweed,
We share the busy, busy, busy business also over here.
The Easter break gave me time to install a new gas geyser here, as electricity fees have become beyond our means and I also made a new stone pathway in our garden. Now the carport roof awaits my attention and Marian wants a new rock garden for our succulents. Small things and not as fancy as your syrup showpiece, but they all take time and attention.
Here's a picture of the new stone path, as the ground was up to the cement paving skirt, so to prevent us from walking mud into the cottage, I opted for stone.
The link that I wanted you to look at is actually the new website of our charity, The Papillon Foundation, and I use the DNA link only as evidence that I have shared a post to Twitter, which I did with your post.
We have dumped our old website and the new one was done for us by a company that specializes in SEO (Search Engine Optimizing) applications. They are hosting our website for free.
I just wanted to have your thoughts on the design. http://papillonfoundation.com
But we can communicate when you are back from NJ and I hope that your trip is not for something serious.
Blessings.
Zac
The Easter break doesn't sound like much of a break, but it's nice to get personal items checked off of the list. The stone walkway looks great and will surely help with the mud.
Around here we say that there're five seasons, the four standard ones and the muddy season which we are right in the middle of.
Making a rock garden for the succulents should be fun to do.
I took a look at the new website for the Papillon Foundation and the people that put it together did a great job, and they are going to host it for free, that's a winning combination. While taking a good look at the website, the people you serve, the Papillon recipients are so diverse and in such need of a helping hand.
What a feeling of accomplishment you must have, helping so many who may otherwise just continue to feel helpless with no way out of their present situation.
God Bless all of those involved with your charity and ask for nothing in return.
Thank you and yes I like your five season concept, as winter is almost here and as we are in a winter rainfall area, the mud will soon start again.
The rock garden wants a lot of time and I will do it in stages, but will have to finish it before the Spring season arrives. We thus far have about 30 succulents and I will have to get a few more.
Difficulty strikes here from all sides my friend and thankfully we have time to populate thec website with a gallery page and other items of note.
But to get the time to sit with it for a few hours is a bit difficult.
I am just glad that you like the new website and we have high hopes for it.
As an ex teacher you know the feeiling when a student performs very well and it is very much the same with the people that we work with. To see a man that had no hope and had nothing, driving his own car that he proudly comes to show me makes my heart sing.
To me it simply means that he can feed his own family now. Mission accomplished.
God has blessed us with some human angels as allm of their hearts are centered on only one thing.
To be a blessing to all others.
Blessings and !BEER
As a teacher, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone make gains that will change their life forever.
I worked with many teachers and I wish I could say the same thing.
Some should have retired long ago and I believe the only reason they were still w-- king was for the money.
A principal of mine once told me that a good teacher is like an actor, they need to hold the audiences
attention and being on stage five days a week is not easy.
You are so right and it's always only the special teachers that care.
Most of my teachers were abusers and hit me every day. We only discovered many years later that the "Corpus collosum" in my brain does not correspond between the A and B brain.
It also explained my ambidextry and now that I understand it, I can respond with the correct front end of my brain. Confusing though, as the one side is a dreamer and the other side is literal.
Yes, money or the lack of it keeps many in the trade long after their expiry time.
I can believe you and the danger is that the actor role could transform into one's life, but thankfully sanity prevails for some such as you.
Cheers and !BEER
There are so many ways to learn, and a good teacher should be able to individualize their lessons accordingly. I know for myself I am very visual and had difficulty learning when the teacher just stood in the front of the room and lectured, it came across as blah, blah, blah.
Not knowing exactly what "Corpus callosum" is, I did a little reading.
You sure have navigated this hurdle very well, but I'm sure there were many instances when people didn't understand, and therefor directed their rath in your direction, but there is never a reason to strike a student.
