Hurricane Katrina Relief

I am so proud of the boys. We cleaned out our vacation fund that we just started saving after we got back from North Carolina and got $30 and then JC gave me his last $5 from his wallet. I also got a donation from my co-worker Patricia of $5, so we had a total of $40 before this morning. The boys had a bake sale at their friend, Kyle's mom's yardsale, and earned $91. We are going to the Winchester/Frederick County American Red Cross tomorrow to donate a little bit more than $131. They did wonderful, set in the hot sun for several hours, and even went door to door knocking and asking for donations. How proud I am!! Also, much thanks to Patricia for her donation and to Jennifer for her donation and also for letting us come and have a great place to sit up the snacks and lemonade. There was also a girl in the neighborhood on skates who skated up and down the road with the sign asking for donations and in some cases even delivering the baked goods after they were purchased! Our hearts and minds are with the good people of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama!
