minnesota miracle...

had a terrific visit with gerri yesterday!
could not squeeze a lunch in so we are planning
another date soon!
she gave me a really great coffee mug...
it says "t.g.i.f. thank god i'm fabulous!"
thanks gerri! i love you!


altho' i had much to do yesterday, i managed to
get over to the airport hilton in bloomington
to cover a cancer family's arrival for the
weekend.

what an amazing assignment!
becky (mitch's mom) picked me up and we drove
to the hilton in friday afternoon rush hour
(in her convertable!).
got there early and sat for a moment solving
all the world's problems and then we saw
alexis walk in. we knew it was her because she
had her left arm in a cast (she had broken it just
the other day on her new roller blades!)
she's 11, darling and a brave soul!


here she is with her 3 sisters checking in...



going through all the loot in the room!



the first thing alexis wanted to do when she met
ron was give him a big hug!!!



becky with alexis...



back row is ron (mitch's grandpa), karen (the new executive
director) and becky (mitch's mom)




this is such a warm, wonderful foundation and
it brings so much joy to so many all year round.
please contact them if you would like to get
involved...you won't regret one second!
there is a link at the top of my blog.
have a great weekend!
