One of our scouting parents and her family organize a yearly event to collect items and money to help local families during the coming holidays - they provide food, clothes, toys, etc. She was kind enough to include ES and I this year, extending an invitation to join her and several of our other scouting parents who have gone in the past.

I felt soooooo much better yesterday so we decided to go. It was $35 per person which included cocktail hour, buffet meal, open bar - 5 hours! Each person was also asked to bring items to be distributed to families or money so that they could buy. There were donated "baskets" for raffles, there was a silent auction and a 50/50! And a DJ for entertainment and dancing.

I am soooooo glad we went - there were 14 of us in our group and we had such a great time dancing, visiting and of course supporting this tremendous cause. One lady spoke who had been helped in the past - her very young daughter had been diagnosed with cancer and in a heartbeat their lives changed - their insurance didn't cover all the treatment that she needed - mom had to quit work to care for her daughter and as she told us, their happy normal world was turned upside down and all that she had taken for granted, was gone But this organization came to the family and offered monetary assistance to help with a particular item the daughter needed for her treatment. Anyway - the daughter is in remission and doing very, very well and now this family does all that it can to give back and pay it forward!

It indeed was an evening of fun but it was an opportunity to help a neighbor and children in their time of need - especially during this holiday season :Hugs:

so today will be catch up day - having been gone over Thanksgiving weekend - then coming home sick and spending the whole week in bed :( - I'm way behind in house things and in Scouting things and just in "things" in general rofl

so I need to give some serious attention to things today!

plus this is it week - we have a big dinner on Wed for one of our Associations where they'll be presenting an all in one computer (really cool - I had to go buy it) to my boss - then a big office luncheon on Thurs and Friday my boss will be flying ...... off to FL, off to his new life!

I'll be talking with him on the phone from time to time - he officially closes the books on 12/31/11 and there'll be some odds and ends to do thru the end of Jan but he'll be long gone to the land of the sun! I'll soon be moving the office and begin working with my new bosses :)

Anyway - hope this finds everyone well - I have lots of forum catching up to do as well....... that was my sick for the whole winter! ;)

oh and I am enjoying my Kindle Fire and it's 1 month of free streaming - DD had suggested that I watch The Tudors some time ago but I just hadn't gotten round to it.

Well with the Fire I have been watching - non stop :( bad girl that I am ..... I watched all 4 season in just over a week ..... really loved the show - I've always found history very interesting = now I'm having withdrawal - oh what should I watch next :P

We did discover that if you purchase the yearly streaming subscription, it's good for all kindles on your account :) so maybe ES will be getting a Fire for Christmas! we shall see......

Deb - Your evening sounded wonderful, what a good feeling knowing you are helping the less fortunate people and bringing some joy into their lives. Kudos to the families involved in this gift of giving. :)^

As usual your life is always so busy. Once bossy is down south, I hope things slow down for you and that your new position brings you lots of satisfaction and a pleasant working environment.

oh and back on 9/11 - some folks had asked if the TV series showing the construciton of Tower 1 (which if you don't blink, you can see ES once or twice hard at work on the plans/drawings and at the site when the first glass went up) would be available on DVD - yes indeedy!

as a matter of fact, our DVD came this past week :**: - I believe it's the Discovery Channel ......

Posted Image

Tower 1 as of 11/28/11 - ES pops over on a regular basis and posts photos on his FB for those who are always asking as to the progress - he can't post any inside photos due to security, etc. but he has been visiting the site and building about once a week now as progress happens - the past few weeks, the workers have been installing the lobby marble which is one of the particular jobs ES is overseeing! :)^

(the world financial center is to the left and the tall buiding behind Tower 1 is Tower 7 - it was also done by ES's office but before he went to work there)

you can click on the above image for info on the DVD

beautiful eagle thanks for posting carole
hoping for the best for NX

well I have to get stuff moved but really won't be much - mostly files and my computer - probably no or very little furniture!

hope to spend a few days with new bosses to learn how they operate - they are then taking off for FL with their kids for a much needed vacation and family visiting! in there, I'll be off to OH for family time and then 1/2 we'll hit the ground running (I hope) LOL

Kris there is encouraging news from WCV today...

"Dr. Adam reports that NX kept all her food down last night! She is bright and alert ... and very feisty this morning!"

I hope her injury does not mean she will not be able to return to the wild :X: :candle:

- no flight for the whoopers today

"The system that was over Texas reached us this morning. We have winds SSE at more than 12mph on the ground and 50mph to 60mph aloft. The radar shows a big rain cell moving in from the west so the waterworks should start here very shortly."
