Hey, I just heard the weather forecast from now through the weekend and it's going to be in the mid-80's - can you believe that? It's only April, for Pete's sake. You simply cannot beat springtime California weather. I, for one, plan on having a really good weekend - going to another crop, so it will be productive, too.
I'd like to present a plea for a truly worthy cause. My friend, John, is in training for the Team in Training fundraiser, part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He will be bicycling 100 miles at Lake Tahoe (through the mountains). How many of us have been affected or have loved ones who have been affected by cancer? Just this year alone I've had 3 close friends and family members who have been diagnosed with this horrible disease. Won't you join me in supporting John in this fundraiser? Every little bit adds up and no amount is too small. If you can't afford to donate money, you can also offer support through your prayers. You can donate directly here, and thank you so much!
This weekend I went to Monterey, one of my favorite places in the world. David's school band had another competition - and they took second place! Woohoo! This national festival only invites 12 high schools to compete, based on auditions, so it was quite an honor. They are also invited back to perform at the big Monterey Jazz Jubilee in September, so you know I'll be there! Here are a few photos from the weekend:
clam chowder in a round sourdough loaf - yum!
On the digi-scrapping front, I want to let you know that two of my kits are on sale right now at 30% off. You can save right now on Merry Sunshine and For My Mother.
