BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.

BOY HAVE I BEEN BUSY LATELY & NOT SURE IF IT IS ALL THE WORK (LABOR OF LOVE) OR I AM GETTING OLD & STARTING TO REALLY SLOW DOWN, MIGHT VERY WELL BE A COMBO OF BOTH. DON'T TELL ANYONE AS MOST OF MY READERS THINK I AM A HANSOME YOUNG STUD, "I WISH".
i AM ON A COMMITTEE WITH A BUNCH OF PARENTS WHO HAVE SPECIAL OLYMPIANS PICKED TO GO THE THE "CANADIAN SPECIAL OLYMPICS" NEXT SUMMER IN BRANDON MANITOBA. EACH ATHELETIC MUST COME UP WITH $500.00 FOR THEIR SHARE OF THE EXPENCE OF GOING, A LOT OF MONEY FOR MOST OF THE PARENTS SO THEY PUT A COMMITTEE TO RAISE MONEY & SHARE THE COST. i WAS ASKED TO JOIN THE COMMITTEE & SINCE SPECIAL OLYMPIANS ARE MY FAVORITE PEOPLE I SAID YES.
I PURCHASED $209.00 WORTH OF SCRATCH & WIN TICKETS, STUCK THEM ON A TREE SHAPED THING I HAD FROM BEFORE, GOT A BUNCH OF TICKETS PRINTED UP & WENT DOWN TO A MALL YESTERDAY TO SELL TICKETS ON THE MONEY TREE. I WAS IN THE MALL FROM 9:30 TO 3:30 AND SOLD $203.00 WORTH OF TICKETS. THE WHOLE COST WAS &238.69 SO IT IS ALMOST PAID FOR AND WE WILL NOT DRAW FOR THE TREE UNTIL VALENTINES DAY ON FEB. 14, 2006. I HAVE 4 MORE DATES AT LEAST BEFORE CHRISTMAS & HAVE NOT DECIDED WHAT DATES WE WILL USE IN JA. OR FEB.
I DON'T LIKE TO MAKE PREDECTIONS ON A THING LIKE THIS BUT WILL BE DISAPPOINTED IF WE DO NOT MAKE OVER $1000.00 CLEAR ON THIS TREE. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON HOW WE DO & HOW MUCH WE MAKE, EVERYTIME WE MAKE $500.00 IT WILL MEAN 1 MORE ATHELET WILL BE GOING TO BRANDON.
I AM ALSO INVOLVED IN HELPING A FAMILY BY GIVING THEM A HAND-UP THIS CHRISTMAS BUT I HAVE ALSO A LOT OF NEW FRIENDS WHO ARE MAKING DONATIONS TO SEE THAT 3 SMALL CHILDREN HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS. CHRISTMAS IS FOR THE YOUNG & THE YOUNG AT HEART. MORE ON THIS AS CHRISTMAS GETS CLOSER BUT IT REALLY DOES ONES HEART GOOD WHEN STRANGERS SEND YOU MONEY TO HELP 3 SMALL CHILDREN THEY WILL NEVER MEET.
IT IS ESPECIALLY NICE TO WAKE UP ON CHRISTMAS MORNING TO KNOW THAT WITH THE HELP OF A LOT OF SUPER PEOPLE THAT 3 CHILDREN ARE HAVING A CHRISTMAS THAT HOPEFULLY THEY WILL NEVER FORGET.
