It was a great day!  Thanks to all my IHD family for all of your support.  AlohaBeth and I knew we were surrounded by all of you yesterday (and a lot of purple feathers!).  The Walk raised around $90,000 which the director felt good about it these bad financial times.  My sweet little ones had almost $60 of change that they had saved over the year and donated.  Everyone was asking about our green and purple ribbons.  A recipient and her living donor just loved us and it was a pleasure to meet them.  It is humbling to be with so many who are fighting for the same cause----and inspiring.   The smoked butt rocked, too!!  We stuffed ourselves and then went back for more!  The party ended around 4----just in time to regroup and head out for my other daughter's (Melissa) fund raiser for the orginization she works for (Aids Alliance).  So, Beth and I started around 8 am and the day didn't end until around midnight.  Melissa's fund raiser went welll also, raising $14,000 for medications and treatments.  We wore our shirts there and we also collected several more donations for our Walk.   At the end of the day, I had to sit back and be amazed and grateful for all the people who can and do  make a difference every single day.  A dollar here, a helping hand there, a kind word of encouragement or a simple hug.  My favorite phrase is "my cup runneth over" --- that is how I feel today.  Thank you.  And, I miss you Goofynina.

Oh Paris what a wonderful generous family you are.  It makes me proud to be able to count you as a friend.  You've clearly passed your caring genes down through your family too, your little grandchildren are kind, caring and giving too.  Bless you all.

Great Job! Nice pictures and I was impressed with the amount raised for both benefits.

Kudos to Paris and AlohaBeth.

I just finished sweeping my floors-----aaahhhhhchooooooo!!   Little, bitty purple feathers floating and stuck to everything.  I have vacuumed, dusted, swiffered; it is of no use. I will just have to live with feathers and laugh every time I see them.     Beth is paying for taking Saturday off. She worked a double yesterday and today, so hopefully tomorrow she will get pictures up.  Thanks Okarol, for the great ones you posted.  My sweet grands with all their "accessories" on---too cute!

What does AB do?
Whatever that job is that requires a double shift, I may want that! Nights are boring, nothing on tv, not much going on online except watch my pc do a system sweep or analysis for problems and fixes.
