Hey everyone!

I am home from Paris and am now I am hanging out with Paris!!  (My Mom!)  I was so sad to leave but happy to be with my family again!

The Triangle Kidney Walk is right around the corner and our team is really  being hit by the economy (understandably so!)  We are just so grateful to anyone for donating, because we know how hard times are right now! 

Right now we are at $790 with just a couple of weeks to go! 

Thank you for all of the amazing support you have shown our family and especially the support you give to my mom (Paris) everyday.  You are her family too.

If you are interested in donating or finding our more about our team follow this link...

To my dear IHD family -   Our Kidney Walk is Saturday and we are looking forward to a nice day. My grands have used the trophy we won last year as a place to collect change.  Every penny they have found on the street, in the couch, at the bottom of Mommy's purse has gone into the trophy. They have filled it to the top! They are very proud of their contribution to the Kidney Walk.  Again, we are walking to remember our sweet Goofynina.  And of course, there will be lots of purple boas and tiaras!  We have added a few more adornments to our outfits!   We have large Purple Ribbons the say "In memory" and the name of a member we lost this year.  One for Ohio Buckeye, Flip, Dustin, Glitter's husband, Nola Gail, Chuck, Mikey.  And large Green Ribbons that say "to honor".  On those will be Martha (xtrememoostrax), KellyT, Monrein, Wenchie, Charee, Rookiegirl, many more names----all who received (or gave) the Gift of Life.  I feel it is important to surround myself with all of you on that day because you have made such an incredible difference in my life.  So, on the 28th, put on your own purple boa (where ever you are) and walk in thought with us.  Sluff and Bajanne--put on your shirts and boas!  We will post pictures so you can see the purple feather brogade!  I love you all!!   And you are all invited for lunch at my daughters after the Walk.

Tomorrow is the day.  Todd, the "butt bandit" has smoked his butt.   :rofl;    Side dishes are ready and waiting. Brownies baked, cookies ready.  My dining room is covered with tiaras, boas, purple and green ribbons and all the change from the trophy the grands have collected.  The "found" over $40 in change---little ones can make a difference too!  Thank you, my friends, for being by our side tomorrow and walking in spirit with us.   My family knows how much everyone at IHD means to me and they are grateful that I have such a wonderful place to be myself in.   AlohaBeth will post pictures.  And the sun is suppose to shine and be 70!  Yea!!   :2thumbsup;

They are saying we are suppose to get 8 inches here and 12 inches in other parts of IL. 12 inches sounds good if it was February.
