Breast Cancer 3 Day

My Breast Cancer 3-Day Donation Page

I have signed up to participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day in Atlanta in September. This will be my second 3-Day. I walked the first one one month before Jeffrey was born in 2001. We will be walking 60 miles over 3 days and camping overnight (in tents that are not waterproof.)

If you think this is something you might like to do, you can find more information at The Breast Cancer 3-Day website. If you sign up, please use my Sponsor ID:79134244. You can also go to my donation page listed above to make a donation. I get a cool gift if I raise $500 within the first 60 days of registration so if you help me by donating by June 26, I'll send you a special gift as a thank you.

I am working with my friend Caprice to come up with a team name. As soon as we come up with something, we will start our team up. We will welcome team members. If you want to go ahead and register and would like to join our team when we set it up, just send me an email and I'll let you know we're ready and you can join us.

Charity Music Marathon - DJ Darren Hartland's DJ World Record Attempt 2006

Charity Music Marathon - DJ Darren Hartland's DJ World Record Attempt 2006

I "know" this guy from a web builder's forum. He's trying to set a world's record for DJ'ing as well as raise money for a great cause. I know how hard it can be to get help and support for non-profit events, so let's help Darren out. Even if you don't donate, at least pick some songs so he'll have something to play.*grin*

Well, I'm off to spend the day doing yardwork. If I can move, I'll check in later.

Updates to website

I posted a message a couple of weeks ago, but for some reason, it didn't make it here. Isn't technology wonderful? It was nothing important. I had just come in from trimming vines and brush in our backyard and my hands and arms were so sore that I could barely type. Don't ever let anyone tell you that yard work and gardening are not exercise. Now if it would ever quit raining, I could get out there and finish. Assuming the ivy doesn't take over again before I can get out there.

On to the website: because of the weather, I haven't been able to get out much lately. Of course, there have been nice days but those only fall on days when I already have commitments and can't get to a park more than 10 minutes away. I've already been to those.

On Wednesday, Jeffrey and I made it out to Reynold's Nature Preserve in Morrow. If you have never been out there, I would encourage you to go. It's beautiful. Read more at http://www.atlantawalkingpaths.com/clayton.html.

Since Reynold's doesn't have a playground, I told Jeffrey that we would stop at a park with a playground on the way back so he could play. We passed a school on Reynold's Road on the way to the Nature Preserve, and had the following conversation:
Jeffrey: There's a playground!
Me: No, that's a school.
Jeffrey: Maybe the next playground we find won't have a school on it.

Everyone needs a three-year-old around to keep them on their toes.
