The weather was wet and windy and basically miserable for our walk yesterday, but we were set up under the roof of a shelter house so stayed dry for the most part. At the scheduled time for the actual walk, the clouds parted and we had some sun! Isn't that wonderful?! The event raised about $25,000 and all proceeds go directly to cancer patients in need. The turnout of walkers was low this year due to the weather, but that didn't affect the bottom line. Registrations were paid even if the participant decided to stay at home. There were several corporate and community sponsors. I'm really proud to be able to contribute my time as a volunteer from the hospital. Our Auxiliary makes a monetary contribution as well. My granddaughter loves participating and feeling like she is helping cancer patients. She did a wonderful job yesterday.
Cowboy, don't overdo it! We just had our furnace serviced last week and are confident that it is ship-shape for winter. The service man had an unpleasant surprise when during the course of his work he came across an active wasp nest! He said he comes across all kinds of situations like that in his work though. He took it in stride.
Ginger, I hope your outreach to QW bears results. I'd love to hear from him too! I wonder what happened to Techie?
Rava those motion sensing closet lights are a grand idea! Mr. D loves tinkering with electronics and he actually made a light that comes on when we open the door to step out into the garage. It is a motion sensing light that is an led. It works like a charm and now we don't have to worry about tripping over the dog in the dark (who naturally loves to lie in front of the step up to the door. I think I'll suggest a couple other places we need lighting and see if he wants to take on another project.
Jude, glad you are almost 100%. Don't push yourself too soon.
