Evan Drake O'Pawley Sean Dwyer O'Pawley And the lullaby by an atonal, old Irish washer-woman has been moved to Tooge's page. Mary added a great song to Abusua's Facebook wall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehu3wy4WkHs. Now, we need to add videos from Brian and other musicians in this very talented family.
Each mural (l to r) was part of a theme "Our school is.. (1) a world of creativity...(2) a sea of ideas..(3) a space for adventure and (4) a garden to grow in. Since the school mascot is the eagle, the rest of the murals expressed "At Nightingale, we soar." and "We soar like eagles." featuring wonderful paintings of kids and eagles (not nightingales). The murals will hang in the hallways and, we hope, remind kids what a great school Joe Nightingale is.
Faith now! Here is a plea from one desperate WebLeprechaun. Please send jpg images via e-mail. I can upload them quickly and we can then all appreciate how time and age has given us more depth and beauty (and, for some, more wrinkles). Bless you, me Dears. Note: new hat and ears and old hair .>N.B. Current, ongoing news related to individuals will be put on this page for a while, then moved to the individual's page. This will help to keep each person's page somewhat current, especially Super Duper Branches who are moving rapidly through life. I know we are all moving rapidly through life, but for some of us, other than more gray hair and wrinkles, the yearly changes are less dramatic. For livelier inspirational music, click here. The Pointer Sisters sing "We are Family" The WebLep still lives and, having been entangled in other webs ( www.geraniumsonline, www.floral-prints.net, www.lospadresartistguild.com, www.cowgirlart.net & www.greatgarden.org etc), has escaped and is inspired to return to beloved abusua.com. Since the Compost has not been added to in some time, the updates will be sketchy and, at times, not current. With your help, abusua.com will live once again Bri's Hearts for Haiti Benefit Concert in Denver was held Feb. 14th.. The Benefit was a great success. Laura has organized an national organization celebrating interracial families. We fit! Go to www.interracialfamily.org We look forward to learning more from her about this new and very successful effort. We are delighted P. Fred is doing well. Nancy has become involved in hospice. Brian is now a personal trainer and is a musical promoter. He still is and always will be a musician. Paul and Donna have new careers in the mortuary business in Denver. Compost 2009 Updates from 2009 Christmas cards and photos - soon (??????) Congratulations to the Egberts! Michael and Kristen are having a baby (a real twig) in July. See and hear the Bard a.k.a.

Compost 2008 May - August 2008 Soon, when the WebLep catches her breath!!! There is MUCH to insert. April 2008 E-mail sent April 1, 2008. Edited responses to follow.
Dear Family: My past has come to haunt me. I received the
following: "The Archdiocese of Santa Maria of the Holy Roman
Catholic Church, hereby, officially informs you, Diane Handlos a.k.a. Tooge,
that you are in violation of Article 783.61 of Codex Juris Canonici, which
states, ' Liturgical music shall not be used in any circumstance which
demeans the sacred and devotional nature of the music.' The use of ' Kyrie '
in association with YouTube, chickens and a Zen garden is a clear violation of
said Article 783.61. Please appear .. ." The rest is in Latin, "Oremus
in remissionem peccatis et offensionibus et negligentiis tuus."
Ironically, I have Shaolin temple music, but chose
" Kyrie " because it evokes an immensely devout period in my life (until I
literally fell away from the Church - but that is another story.) ... eleison. Love, Tainted
Tooge
Bri and the band, JudgeRougheck, opened for the Wailers (as in the original Bob Marley & the Wailers) in Boulder this month. The band has some good gigs this summer. See www.judgeroughneck.com . Bri is still bartending, parenting, studying to be a personal trainer. We're not sure when/ if he sleeps. Check recent photos of the Stillmans (i.e. good-looking kids) http://keenonandlaura.myphotoalbum.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=album60

Lise (top, center) and Evan (on
floor, right) made the Santa Maria Times in an article describing the
great turnout of 344 people on a Disneyland/ Volunteer day at their school.
Lise teaches 6th grade and Evan is now in 1st. The article focused on
Lise's mural project.. Ten murals were painted by over 30 kids, guided by Lise
with the help of the WebLep. The students added their ideas and artistic touches
as well as paint.
