The Violin Maker: Finding a Centuries-Old Tradition in a Brooklyn Workshop
By John Marchese
see relatedSo, I've been back for almost two weeks and I'd say It's about time for a picture post. As most of you know, I was in New York for two weeks teaching VBS. It was an incredible time with lots of great memories and amazing friendships made!
Here is my fellow guide and I with our 9 year-old girls.
Me with two girls on my pick-up route, Alejandra and Anastasia. Two very lovely young ladies.
Here I am holding a craft project.
Some of the kids on my pick-up route. I love 'em!
Here I am with Bryant and Jesus.
These dear ladies are my prayer group "Annlyns Angels" :)
And these two incredible people, Danielle and Chris. My "Julliard Friends". Wow. Incredible memories. Bumming around Manhatten, the best hotdogs in the city, Julliard and the Library, sitting on the floor of Toys 'R Us and cracking up when Danielle's water bottle started leaking all over the floor! Oh, and who could forget those Starbucks interrogations!
My little friend Liam and I...:)
My dear Rachel...
Me and my "son" Donovan.
And isn't this little guy (Logan) just the cutest!
Well, you're probably all getting board with this, so I'll post another one to make you all jealous!
CHINESE FOOD!!!!:):):)So then I came home. It hasn't been all together easy, but I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. Sometimes it seems really selfish of me. Here God gave me an incredible two weeks with wonderful people and kids, and I'm pouting because it's over. How pathetic is that!
A little glance into my life back home includes back to work, and I took the team leader position that Gladys offered me again. I figured it would be fairly stupid to turn it down. I e-mailed Rosolyn about violin lessons, and I'm so ready to get back into some serious music! And this weekend starts the month of Gospel Echoes prison rallies. ( If you've never been to one I strongly encourage it. They are amazing!) I'm looking forward to getting back on my big blue bus and singing with my family again! This weekend is ISP in Michigan City, next weekend is Miami, and the next weekend is Putnamville, and then the Ohio rally is some time in September. I'm pretty excited that this year I'm going to be able to go to all of them!
Oh, yea, I got my Bible School application sent off yesterday which is a relief! I'm so very much looking forward to it! Maybe I'll actually get some answers about where I'm supposed to be in my life...Dee

Great post, Dee!!! It seems like you had an AMAZING time in New York once again.
You sound very excited with what the near future holds...and that is important! A positive outlook usually always helps!
Hmmmm....still thinking about last night....Amazing Grace or Batman Begins....I think Dave made an excellent choice with the first one. LOL!!
Ah New York .. reminds of a old Swing song , " take me back to New York ! " Wish I was there again sometimes ! "son " ! hehe .. wow didnt know you were that old ! And Chinese Food ! Could eat that all the time ! I love how the chinese eat at their little table with chopsticks so slowly and us barbarians eat their food like starving monsters with our " weapons ! " I love Amazing grace .. but you should of snuck in Batman begins or went to see Dark knight ! :)
you're going to EBI? for which term? sounds like we may be spending some time together in the future :)
Looks like you had a lot of fun and that you were kept busy! Love you!!
first of all, you didn't teach-- you were a guide. second, the memories will stay for a very long time. toys r us was def. the best.. haha.. i do find the one of u nd ur "son" intriguing.. i'll explain sometime.. ;)... --Chris G>
Well it's good to have you back anyway even if you don't want to be back. Haha. :)
I'll agree with Marietta, Looks like lots of fun!

i'll probably only go for one term, but i can't decide yet which one that will be. i'm guessing i should probably apply soon if i want to get in....

i don't remember that...i may decide to post though..but do remember, i have some embarrassing pictures of you...at least ones that you'd rather not have on the internet..
you might be surprised..anyway who might this someone else be??
so maybe i do have pictures that have not been disclosed..who knows?

I feel honored to hang out with you at the Freedom Rallies...Mandy Moore!!
My, my, my, I like the new layout! I have seen you on the covers of a couple magazines lately, Congrats & Way to go! And I read you're fitting in some volunteer work as well, you are amazing! I feel totally dis-conn-ected, we should talk some time, I think I have a few openings in late September. but i'd have to check with my people. I'll just have my people call your people, and I'll see you sometime. ~Smiles Step
