Here are a few ideas: 1: Consider adding a web page about your secretaries to your Church's web site as a thank you for all their hard work. 2: A Gift Certificate would be nice. Maybe one from a restaurant or beauty salon. 3: Flowers are an old stand by. 4: Give her a paid day off!! 5: If you do nothing else make sure you send her a greeting card. Either from a "real" card shop or send one from Annie's Card Shop. 6: Bring in or order lunch. Maybe a pot luck lunch would be nice. 6: Be creative you are only limited by your imagines.

REMEMBER that we all need kind words or appreciation! "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." ~Proverbs 25:11~

Where's my Coffee!!!!!!!

Secretaries love coffee and for years in their job description they have had to make the coffee for the office and for the boss!

A good cup of coffee. Best brewing results are obtained by using one standard coffee measure, or two level tablespoons, to each cup. The water should be freshly drawn from the cold-water tap. Most coffee is made in percolators, drip pots, or vacuum coffeemakers, which strain boiling water through the coffee.

Coffee History According to legend, coffee was discovered in Ethiopia when goatherds noticed that their flocks stayed awake all night after feeding on coffee leaves and berries. Coffee reached Arabia in the 1200's. Coffee comes from the Arabic word qahwah.

Before its use as a beverage 700 years ago, coffee was used as a food, then a wine, and then a medicine. Coffee moved from Arabia to Turkey during the 1500's, and to Italy in the early 1600's. Coffee houses sprang up throughout Europe in the 1600's, and people met there for serious discussions. Coffee probably came to America in the 1660's. Coffee growing was introduced in Brazil in the 1700's.

More Coffee Information: The United States ranks as the largest consumer of coffee. Americans drink about 400 million cups every day. The rich aroma of coffee adds much to the pleasure of drinking it. The coffee break has become an integral part of the business world. Each morning and afternoon, millions of workers pause for a few minutes of relaxation over a cup of coffee.

On the average, each person in the United States drinks the brew from about 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) of coffee annually. Each year, the United States uses about 2,600,000,000 pounds (1,180,000,000 kilograms) or about one-fifth of all the coffee grown in the world. ~All Coffee Information from The World Book Encyclopedia~

The Secretary Bird: Secretary-bird is a tall African bird that has long feathers on the back of its head. The bird's name comes from these feathers, which suggest the quill pens secretaries and clerks once carried behind their ears. The secretary-bird stands over 40 inches (1 meter) tall, with long legs and a long tail. The bird is mostly gray with black feathers on its upper legs. Its eaglelike face is red to orange.

The secretary-bird inhabits open grass plains and steppes in Africa south of the Sahara. It spends most of its time on the ground, walking with long, stiff strides. The bird hunts lizards, small mammals, large insects, snakes, and eggs of other birds. It sprints after prey and attacks with its feet and beak.

Secretary-birds build nests on top of thorny acacia trees. The nests are made of sticks, leaves, and grass, and measure 40 to 80 inches (1 to 2 meters) across. Females lay two or three greenish or bluish eggs. The young hatch the eggs about 45 days later. ~Above Information from The World Book Encyclopedia~
