the giving of time is the best gift of all

May 10, 2012

This isn’t really another prom post! Ok, the photos and the thoughts that surround them sort of have something to do with the prom — but not really.

I’ve noticed my buddy, Alisa, posting Facebook “thanks” to others for the work they did in conjunction with this year’s prom in the Ville. Every day she’s thanking someone. I’ve not seen as many thanking her as there should be… at least in my opinion. Alisa is always the first to give of herself. Sometimes to the point of giving too much (if that’s possible when it has anything to do with your kid).

I know she was pretty darned proud of her bad self when showing off the fruit kabobs. They looked amazing! And, the cupcake tree thingy in the corner was enticing, but I promise I didn’t steal one. Alisa can cook! She rivals my Nanny when she was in her prime even — and for me, that’s saying a LOT. But Alisa’s pretty crafty too I might add. Obviously. The table centerpieces were very pretty.

So thanks, Alisa — for all the time you give to others. Your expression in the photo below is one of exasperation… you were worn out and the prom hadn’t even started. But it was appreciated! =)
