Quote from a teeager

What is worse than falling sick is when everybody is sick.

Yes we are 4 for 4.

And now ... we tease grandma!

Yeap, the results show that this is a gooey, rich, indulgent & DANGEROUSLY IRRESTISIBLE cake.
Eat at my own waistline's risk!
Someone had to sacrifice for the sake of ... ummmm ....ahhhh ...what is the field of study .... Science??

The last hoorah

As the cooler slowly creeps into the calendar, the bounty of our garden rapidly diminishes.
This may be our last pick for 2014.
Now we shall return what remains to the ground for next year.

R.A.W. RUN 2014

R.A.W, Returning American Warriors, held their first run on August 23rd, 2014.
One of the founding members is a friend of mine and asked me to help with this event.
I must say, my hair was too long for riding, so I helped with the inside stuff.

An impressive sight as all the riders roared out on the asphalt for a great cause.

RAW is a group of private citizens and Veterans of the Armed Forces ranging from Vietnam to modern day. They are dedicated to assist Veterans and their families upon their arrival back to their homeland. Whether it be hlp finding a job, a baby sitter for a night, help with rent, a new place to call home or even a washer or dryer, R.A.W. will be their source of assistance.
