Meet the NEW PARKERSBURG CITY PARK! These were just a few of the quick snaps I got just before it started to rain! Seeing the kid's faces as they play was truly an inspirational experience for me. My son, Kolbe, keeps asking me "Can we drive by the park today Mommy?" He asks me this consistently everyday. And we have driven by it everyday since day one. I love now that I can say "We aren't driving by honey......we're stopping to play!"
What an emotional day today has been! This is just a lead into what this weekend will bring. This weekend will mark the one year anniversary of Parkersburg's tornado. As you remember, I created a collage and sold them as a fundraiser to rebuild the City Park. My creation raised $11,500 then.......now I have that opportunity again. I have been asked to create a new collage to show hope and where we are at now in our community. I had to wait until today to create this collage because I wanted to be sure to get a picture of children playing on our NEW playground equipment!!! With only the mulch left to be put into place, the equipment was up and ready! So I jumped at the opportunity! The collages will be for sale again this weekend downtown. If you have a chance, stop by Main Street Saturday, May 23rd. Not only to see me, but to see how far Parkersburg has come! You will be amazed........what a strong community......here is my creation........
Remember, dear child, when you're in the midst of a storm,HOLD FAST
The storm will fade.
The sun will shine.
All in God's time.
