Howdy. What wonderful days we’ve been having. Of course I write this on Tuesday with predictions of yet another snow storm or two in the offing. Oh, well, as everyone says, we do need the moisture. Personally I can scarcely wait to see the burst of beauty that will come out when it really starts to warm up. Barring a late freeze the tulips and lilacs and irises and all the other early blooming flowers should be spectacular. Considering the icy winds we’ve had I’m more than happy to be inside working on Happenstance.
In this week’s issue you will find an article about a program that is important to the community and critical to its clients. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is an agency that works entirely in the interest of children who are in crisis; youngsters whose lives have been turned upside down and inside out. Volunteers serve one purpose only and that is to determine what is best for the child and advocate for that outcome. CASA is a nationwide organization with local affiliates. The one in Las Vegas that serves the Fourth Judicial District is under the direction of Barbara Perea Casey. See the story on page 4.
Marlene (Allen) McConlogue is a mother of twin boys and an entrepreneur with a great idea. She created her business, Bare Bunz Cakes, to serve a target market of parents of newborns to two-year-olds. Her product? ‘Cakes’ made out of diapers and other essential and fun baby items. Read about this unique idea beginning on page 6.
Regular features include a review of best selling author John Hart’s novel, The Last Child, a restaurant review of Santa Fe Capitol Grill, Happenstance Kitchen featuring my favorite enchilada casserole recipe and The Best of the Web focusing on xeriscaping.
Enjoy Happenstance, life happens.
