Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This 1965 Beatles classic seems appropriate for today's Newsletter.
BONUS - Help! - The Beatles
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help!_%28song%29:
"Help!" is a song by The Beatles that served as the title song for both the 1965 film and its soundtrack album. It was also released as a single, and was number one for three weeks in both the United States and the United Kingdom. "Help!" was written primarily by John Lennon, but credited (as were all Beatles songs written by either person) to Lennon/McCartney. Paul McCartney reports that he had a hand in writing the song as well, being called in "to complete it" in a two-hour joint writing session on 4 April 1965 at Lennon's house in Weybridge.[4] He later said that the title was "out of desperation".[5] In 2004, "Help!" was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
The documentary series The Beatles Anthology revealed that Lennon wrote the lyrics of the song to express his stress after the Beatles' quick rise to success. "I was fat and depressed and I was crying out for 'Help'," Lennon told Playboy.[6] Writer Ian MacDonald describes the song as the "first crack in the protective shell" Lennon had built around his fragile emotions during the Beatles' rise to fame, and an important milestone in his songwriting style.

depend on what happens outside of you but on what happens inside of you.
It is measured by the spirit with which you meet the problems of life.”

Here's my special
wish for all American citizens who labor cheerfully
in far away places where conditions can be difficult
and sometimes fear might overtake them. One of them
is the brave teacher who is tagged as a means of
encouragement and support as they all need in what
they do. It is sometimes a lonely and dangerous
journey they take not for themselves, but to help
others. Oh, Lord, be with them, comfort them and
when their journey is done, return them safe and
sound to loved ones back here in our wonderful USA.
They include brave military forces, State Department
employees, private citizens working for the common
good, and missionaries, Christian teachers and other
religious folk who are trying to instill belief in
our Lord and Savior where it is so desperately
needed. And the work they do is truly a blessing to
all of us back here at home since the good they do
brings benefit to all of us if we end up with a
world at peace. God bless them and keep them safe.
Thank you, Jimmy!

| BONUS HELP! CROCHET PATTERN: |
| Help Me Make an Intricate, Collaborative Square - "Block 37 of the Block a Week CAL (hosted by Kimberly Slifer) is very special. This square is a collaboration between one of our CAL participants, Virginia Burrow, and my little old self. Based on my King Protea Mandala, this square is striking and surprisingly easy (once you get past the front post trebles).When apportioning credit, I feel it necessary to tell you that Virginia did the designing and I did the grunt-work. Why am I telling you that? Because I LOVE this square and when you are making it, I want you to remember that it was born in Virginia’s pretty head.I hope you really enjoy this week’s square! " |
BONUS HELP! RECIPES:
| Southern Recipes Inspired by The Help - "Classic Southern recipes are featured in The Help, both the movie and the novel, and are as much a part of the action as Aibileen, Minny, Skeeter, and Hilly. Here are a few of the featured foods..." |
