Actually we have another donation so now we are at $1,220.00!!! {{{{Thank You}}}}
May 5, 2012: We did it. We ran the 3 miles and raised $1,020.00 !!!! So for a 4th year in a row we exceeded our goal of $1,000. Thank you all for your support! Most of this amount of our donations came from WU Friends.
I have pictures as soon as I can get them loaded here.. already tried earlier....will try again.
Let me see if I can copy and paste a picture from FB.
Hubby took this one of me "before" the 3 mile run.

That purple circle spot under my boobs is actually a sticker we got as we crossed finish line that says
"I did it!" I stuck it there not realizing how it would look in a picture! I also look pregnant but I'm not! LOL
May 3, 2012: This Saturday is the big event, the annual March of Dimes, March for babies. This event is held in almost every state and in some states a lot of counties.
Because of so many very generous friends and family...many of you right here from WU...
we have once again topped our goal... thank you so much.
I still have not included the cash/check donations which will take us over the $1,000 goal!
I found pictures from previous years and added them to the bottom.
Hubby and I take off work on this Saturday to participate in this fund raiser for a very good organization.
We both "run" the 5K (3.1 miles) instead of walking it..
At least it is no longer a 10K (6.2 miles) that was very hard for me and I doubt
I will ever be able to do that many miles again.
I have been a March of Dimes Mother since Greg was born premature back in 1975.
3 of our 5 grandchildren were March of Dimes Babies and the one coming this summer could also
need this organization but we hope not. So once again, I will walk/run for our Babies.

Here are my "weather" maps

I found out, these maps are measuring fire hazard and soil moisture, not necessary drought according to rainfall.

I know I have pictures of each of these events the past 4 yrs.. will try to find them for this header.
March of Dimes March for Babies. Ellen and I with Rylee in the stroller did great! We did the 6 miles in 1 hr 20 mins. the first 5 miles we averaged 14 min miles and we ran the final 6th mile back into park under the finish line...and later we walked another 2 miles back to our parking lot instead of taking the bus. We got a workout today.
Sat. April 25, 2009: March of Dimes, March for Babies. "I did it!" is what the sticker said when I cross the 6 mile finish line. I actually ran 3 miles and walked 3 miles during the 6 mile course.
All for a good cause, our babies.

You have twenty foot ceilings in the kitchen? I'll bet cobwebs are a beast to clean! :)
Take care of yourself!
I get tired just thinking about your kitchen!
We hit 86 degrees today, the second time this year. So once again I am sitting on my balcony with a beer (only when it gets hot like this) and heavy thunderstorms are popping up nearby. Yesterday was over 80 also. Funny enough it ends quickly and tomorrow it will be rain and a high of only 57 degrees then dropping to 38 tomorrow night.
This time of year we just go from summer to winter and back again in just a few days.
There are strong wind gusts from a thunderstorm nearby and the temp has dropped to the mid 70's. Feels very good as there is no air conditioning in our houses. Guess that is what balconies and beer are for!!
