Day: June 13, 2015

No fans, I am not going on another vacation…………………………….  yet.

This Sunday we will be participating in the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation Take Steps Walk in Los Angeles (actually in Santa Monica).  It is a fun day and gives me great pleasure to know that we are taking an active role in funding the research that will eventually find a cure for this problem.  Most of you, on this list, know that two of my three children have had to deal with Crohn’s disease since they were only 11 years old.  Although the thoughts of those early days when they were so very ill are still strong enough to bring tears to my eyes as I type this blog (making me a little nutty too, I first typed ears) I am so pleased how well all our children have done.  We all have challenges presented to us in life and my kids are no different.  All three of them have met their challenges  and are doing fine.  We are very, very proud of all of them.

Enough gloating about my wonderful children.  Tomorrow we walk.  You are all invited (especially those on the list who are in Spain, San Mateo, Florida, Chicago, Texas, Memphis, South Carolina, Italy, Indiana, Colorado, Fresno, North Carolina, New Orleans, Arizona, San Francisco and Pittsburgh, sorry if Ieft out your location).

Thanks to the help of many who follow this Blog we will be the top fundraiser for I think the 6th year in a row.  Each year our totals get bigger.  I only wish they would continue to increase but there would be 10 fundraisers topping our total.  If you have not participated and don’t want to be left out, the link to my Walk page is

I seem to say the following quite frequently on the blog, please pray for good weather.  Looking a bit ominous right now.
