“It’s the Friends we meet along the way that help us appreciate the journey . . . . . .”

I would like you to meet some of my Playhouse friends….. They are so awesome!

Please meet one of my friends, Luke! He likes the current program he is in, GiGi’s Professionals (it is such a great program)! Luke’s favorite foods are bananas and popcorn! Luke’s close family members call him “Lukie”. Luke’s favorite hobbies are jumping on his trampoline and drawing concepts for stories (sound very interesting)! Luke likes GiGi’s because of how close he is with the participants and volunteers. They feel like family to him (I agree with that Luke)💕. Luke has a younger sister and a younger brother. He is grateful that he has the opportunity to participate, learn, and socialize at GiGi’s Playhouse❤️.

Thank you my friend Luke for participating in my blog😊Hugs to you🤗
