When I started volunteering as an adult in the library at my old elementary school , I found out  a few of my teachers were still here.  Mrs. Dixon, and Mrs. Dennison both recognized me almost 20 years after I was in the class. Mrs Dixon remembered my name first and then Mrs. Dennison tried to put a face to the name. Once she made the connection she realized my picture was still in her classroom. 

Thanksgiving is a holiday, when people gather with their families and friends and count their blessings, and I did just that. Our family came in from New York and we had a great time. Our final day together was spent at Universal Orlando and that is where my podcast is coming from. I would like to thank my sister, brother-in law, mother and our cousins for being my blessings.

Todays episode of Challenges and Choices deals with one of my personal favorites and something I grew up with — “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!” My guest today is my friend Tressa who has an equal fandom of The Wizarding World. For the record, we are both House of Gryffindor. We will be discussing different locations and countries we have visited sharing our adventures of Harry Potter with you. We share our favorite books, movies and rides at Universal Studios. I would like to do a special shoutout to Tressa’s Mom, Mary who shared their experiences from their European Trip!

In today's episode, Joey joined the Knights of Columbus organization in Clearwater at Light of Christ Church. This volunteer group will talk about a car show they will be hosting at St. Catherine of Siena Church on Saturday November 4, 2023 from 10:00 am - 2:30 pm. The car show is a competition with 150 cars on display. Money raised at the car show will go to Kimbely Home, which is a charity helping mom's and babies in our community. Kimberly home is a place of hope for mom's having babies, transitional housing and day care. The group in today's episode will discuss the challenges and enjoyment they feel in planning and running this event. This includes raising money from donations to pay for the event. Parking many cars as they arrive. Cooking and serving food and drinks. Selling tickets and t-shirts. The event is lots of fun and outdoors. Hundreds of people come each year. It is very handicapped accessible. We also have many visitors with intellectual disabilities. After the event the group organizes a parade of cars down the streets to visit veteran's nursing homes.
