I think that's why this experience was so profound. Extending hospitality feels really good and I'm so glad my daughter has an opportunity to experience it and I have an opportunity to get better at doing it.Julie Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804091895348915596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938365846098691529.post-69320641004743582162015-10-05T19:34:33.682-07:002015-10-05T19:34:33.682-07:00I was raised on a farm.

It gave me the gift of hostessing and the desire to reach out to others like this.Mandy Dawson Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581621921983292104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938365846098691529.post-37205852974114613072015-10-05T07:57:33.957-07:002015-10-05T07:57:33.957-07:00I just love that you did this and clearly the stud...I just love that you did this and clearly the students did too. :) This reminds me of the kind of environment my son is living in now. Even though it's boarding school and not college, he's still living away from home and so it's nice to know there are other adults you can rely on who are nearby. In his case, it's the teachers, coaches and advisors, who all live on campus and open their homes to the students. My son has only been there 3 weeks, but he's already had dinner in his basketball coach's home and his academic advisor's home, along with their families. How fortunate that you live near a college and can do this - I can see how everyone benefitted from the experience, including Cadence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
