Home, Home on the Range

Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

I just realized that the 3 Day Walk my friend Mo is participating in next weekend is a camp out!
They walk for 20 miles and then CAMP OUT!
Then they walk another 20 miles the next day and guess what?
They camp out again!
As in “sleep on the ground”!
After a “hard” nights sleep…
They get to walk yet another 20 miles on the final day before going home to their own cozy bed and a well deserved hot bath.

I was already in awe of these ladies and the sacrifice they are making so that we will someday live in a world free of breast cancer.
But camping out?
Wowzer…they’ve just been elevated to rock star status in my book.

Maureen is oh so close to her goal of $2200.
That’s the minimum each participant must raise in order to walk.
If you have a couple of bucks you can spare, please do so
here.
Many of you already have and Mo is incredibly grateful.

So next Friday and Saturday nights (Oct 27 & 28), have a glass of wine, soak in the tub and think of Mo and her friend Jennifer, somewhere out there on the great Texas range.

Where God willing… the skies are not cloudy all day.
