Why Can't We Get Lorelai To Work Like This At Home???


Lorelai is on a mission trip this week, chaperoning a group of middle schoolers at a Homeworks event in Aiken, SC. They're sleeping on the floor in a school gymnasium at night and working all day. No Lilly dresses this week...and she's going to be worn out when she gets home but I'm figuring it's going to be a GOOD kind of tired after spending a week making such a big difference in the life of a sweet little old lady who REALLY needed help.

She's our little sweetie pie!!

  2. What a great trip for her. I did mission trips with my youth group to poor areas in Kentucky and North Carolina working with Habitat for Humanity and loved it!

  5. Good for her! It was always easier for me as a teenager to work at someone else's house instead of my own...or so my parents seemed to think anyway! hee hee
    I know you're so proud of her. Lots of young people are too wrapped up in themselves to even consider helping others, so hats off to Lorelai!
    Enjoy your day today Ms. Belle!

  7. It's always so much easier to work harder when it's not your house. Not so sure why...but good for her! I LOVE volunteer work, especially renovating! It is so nice to see what you accomplish!! I need to find some volunteer work around here to get involved in!

  8. Good for Lorelai! Cait was always good about helping others clean, cook, do yard work etc. But not at home! I guess it's a paradox that we'll never understand, I'm just glad that they choose to help someone! Kathy

  9. I know you are proud of her. I know she has been working her little self to death, and it has not been a cool week to do it in either. Edisto has been an OVEN! You could not stay on the beach more than two hours at a time or your brain started to boil - that meant only one thing.....go inside and drink a cold beer.

    Go Lorelai!
