This morning our daughter Kara and her husband Dusty packed up the moving truck and drove off to their new home in Idaho. While it was fun to see how excited they were for this to finally happen, it was also bittersweet to say goodbye. We'll miss you guys!!

I'm a Disney Princess.... What About You?

You Are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Breast Cancer 3-Day

Over 19 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At that time, I was a young mom with kids who were in kindergarten and second grade. Scary times.... To make a long story short, through the grace of God and through the marvels of modern medicine, I am still here and asking you to support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. Over the years Dave and I have chosen to donate to the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, two excellent charities with long-term excellent track records.

Next weekend, Seattle has the privilege of hosting the annual Breast Cancer 3-Day benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Each walker is asked to raise $2,200 and then walk the 60-mile course during the designated three days. My daughter's friend Anne is taking these three days out of her very busy public school teacher's schedule to walk 60 miles for breast cancer. Would you please consider supporting Anne and making a donation to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation?

Political Conventions... do we really need them?

Anybody else tired of the VERY EXPENSIVE political conventions that are been held this summer? When I think of all the money that has been spent for these made-for-TV displays, it just makes me angry. Why not use that money to do just one of the things the candidates are promising?

Your thoughts?
