Gratitude to Walkers

Today is the day of the ALS Walk. I should specify the city, Seattle.

I have a team, TEAM TINA, formed by my husband, at the last minute. I must admit that I was not interested in the details of the walk. I doubted that I'd survive to attend and thus, nonstarter.

I was surprised and heartened to find we raised $500! It is so important to raise money for research to cure ALS. This is a horrible disease!!!

Thank you to my walkers and donors!

***I stand corrected.  Team TINA had 12 walkers and raised $650!!  Wow.  I am humbled.

I played grocery store and laid out a bedroll for group nap time in preschool. We lived in an apartment attached to a bakery. My maternal grandparents visited and a photo was snapped. Grandma held Dawn and Grandpa held me. I held Grandpa's chin. Walking through the back of the flour-caked kitchen, I saw scrumptious pastries and colorful toys stuck in the cupcakes with my hungry kids eyes. We lived in a two-story apartment building next door to a large farmer's field.  That field was my
