Tonight was the Benefit Dinner for little Ryan. I am SO glad I went ... really am so bogged down with things going on around here lately, but I wanted very much to meet Ryan's mom, Melissa, and the rest of Cheryl's family ... it was very worth it and we had such an enjoyable and heart-warming evening (tears too especially when Melissa took the microphone to thank her friends and family for all of the prayers and moral support) ...
They are a wonderful and beautiful close-knit family and i am so honored to have met them all finally ... (oh yah, you too Ken ) ...
God's blessings on each and every one of them, especially Ryan, who still has a few years of treatments ahead of him ...

Okay, here's some photos. Marcia was as popular as every. Oh, one more thing, NEVER (and I mean never) get caught stuffing your face when I have a camera handy! Check out grandma-Tracie! Ken finally has been exposed!
Annette is a great friend of mine, an aromatherapist and great spiritual advisor!
Thanks, Marcia! You made it a most enjoyable evening.
I'll have more photos up on the web site tomorrow. I'm beat and it's time for bed!

Wow. good morning! ... hey Cheryl ... you doctored those pictures with your edit program? we DO look purdy dang good there. i just looked in the mirror and i don't think i look anything like that. LOL ...
Thank Melissa's friend, Jennifer, for me ... she put on a really nice dinner, and LOL, the Frank Sinatra-esque singer was cool, too.
You sure could see your little nieces all having puppy-love look in their eyes with him.
... but have to remember, it's all about Ryan ... the sweet little fella has a tough road still ahead of him. I wish him God's very all-merciful ways.
Oh, come on, we're two young chicks. Although after only two glasses of wine that night I sure felt like an old lady the next day! LOL! That will teach me to drink on an empty stomach. I should have gotten a meat ball to replace the one I rolled off my pants and onto the floor!

You two look great - glad everyone had a bit of fun.

Actually, I went to jab it with my fork and away it went. LOL! Somehow I knew when I wore my dry clean only suit this would happen! At least it didn't have tomato sauce on it. Darn suit is silk and linen. I don't dare wash it.
