Raising Some Funds!

What started out as just asking permission to ask my classmates for donations towards my Susan G. Komen race fund, ended up being a full blown celebration! I would have been happy just getting a few donations from my class and maybe some of the other classes, but I am overjoyed with what I ended up with! One of the other instructors at the school (TN Technology Center, Hawkins County Branch) volunteered to do a hot dog sale and had the idea to do a cake walk. Then our class decided to throw in some baked goods for a bake sale. The turnout was great, and when it was all over with, we had raised a whopping $276.00! I'm tickled PINK! (pun definitely intended!) Plus, my teacher and a couple of classmates have signed up to walk with me! Looks like it will be another successful year!

In Memory Of....

I'd like to take a moment to remember my husband's aunt, Fern Snapp. She was a very special lady and adored her family, especially my husband and our children. Doug and Fern had a special relationship and he knew he could always count on her. It was an unexpected passing, so it has been exceptionally hard on all of us. I still can't believe she's gone, although I know that she is in a better place and one day we'll be with her again. She was a lot like me in that she hid from the camera whenever possible, but I did manage to get this shot of her and Doug just a few weeks ago at a family reunion. Fern, we love you and miss you terribly!
