BBQ Blur
You parked your car about 9 houses down the street. You finally walk up the driveway, past the Space Shuttle sketch. You have arrived. Enter, and as you take off your shoes, you can't help but realize there is a little commotion rustling as people huddle around the tables. A curriosity stirs. There is a burst of excitement, followed by laughter...
Peek around the corner. Art lines one wall; people line the other. Just before you are tables of food: tasty carne asada, Pink's hotdogs and a delicious 4 foot-long sub! Enjoy a taste as you proceed further. Couches cradle a few comfortable friends. You can't help but peek over the shoulder of the caricature artist, checking out his easel. And just to the other side, handmade cards and soft t-shirts! All along the way to the BBQ outside patio. A little overcast, but perfect to enjoy!!
The commotion: A Bahamas Vacation. Cruise to anywhere in North America.
We raised over $8,000!! What an amazing team to have help! It was definitely nothing I did to get this far.
After all of the ins and outs, I have yet to find out where we stand in the final thermometer reading, but thus far, an estimate.
It was definitely fun for me! I'm now completely exhausted and eager for the next party. C;

that was so amazing, huh? it was fun too. How often are we distracted by life's obstacles and hurdles while we miss the subtleness of the wind. Keep running forward, sister, keep on running.
I think I'm STILL in awe. Thanks for all of your diligent work to make all the details more fluid! It's been overwhelming, but I can't help but be encouraged. Thanks a million!! Have fun in the Bahamas, all 10 of you guys! It went to a worthy cause: R&R for you, Art in Indonesia for me. C;
