Patty, my brother's co-worker who is running the Dublin Marathon on my behalf for the Leukemia Society, is having a fundraiser in Austin on Wednesday, July 12th. Her goal is to raise $5800, and I'd love to help her reach it.
Yes, Debu is taking a roadtrip.
If you are interested in attending, send me an email at debsterc(at)earthlink.net. I can provide you with the details. I'd love to meet some of you.
I've been busy sorting. Old bills, clothes, boxes of stuff. I've also been working on getting all of my stuff transferred to my new hospital in San Antonio, and gathering things for Zoe's school registration.
She's having a blast in NY. Lots of swimming. Her dad's family is having their annual family reunion. I miss her, but I'm always glad when she's having fun.
I can do this. But dang I'm busy.
Your assignment for today is to do something charitable. Find a cause and donate at least $10. You won't miss it. But the $10 adds up. If you have zero money, then find a place and volunteer for a day. I saw that show Shalom in the Home and this family all volunteered together at a homeless shelter food kitchen. This falls into the "there's always someone worse off than you" category. And when you see this in person, it really makes you grateful for your lot in life. Make the effort. It might change your life.
"I want you to know that there is no way in the world that anyone on the face of the earth could love you any more than I do. I love you."

Guess what I'm doing today? (Just taking a break right now.) There is a friend of a friend type thing who just started fostering drug addicted babies, and she got 2, yes TWO last week! They are about 10 days old now. Anyway, I'm making her some baby bibs and blankets and burp cloths and things like that-very fashionable ones! lol! They will be the best bibbed babies in Houston! Hope that counts as a charitable cause...wouldn't want to disappoint ya!
