https://www.stbaldricks.org/donate/donationinfo/participantid/406269/nouser/1

And Behind The Ever Growing "Bella" is CD! Who will chronicle the Shaving.
For today though it was simply a quick walk along Front Beach.
JS and AU along with longertime readers of the blog will recognize the location as where we spent the Fourth of July last year to watch the Fireworks at midnight.
Just a Quiet walk in Unalaska as we wait for spring.
We had a small earthquake the other night http://www.aeic.alaska.edu/recent/sub/index.html which sent my cake platter sliding off my fridge and into my recycle bin. Darn it! I really loved that platter!!

We had an Organizational Meeting for the Saint Baldrick's Shave-a-thon the other night at the Unalaska Public Safety building.

Please check ou this fantastic event and all the participitants at http://www.stbaldricks.org/search/participantorteamresults/participantOrTeam/participant/eventID/4391/participantEventYear/2010/typeShavee/on/searchParticipant/Search/

My main Competition after The Grand's offer to match my donations is Alaska Steve

Finally I joined Manderzz, CD and Miss Bailey at the Aleutian Art Council Show at the Grand

the other night.

The Horrified look on my face bellow is one of shock, disgust and disbelief when Juno announced that she wanted to wear sneakers to the Prom. NOT ON MY WATCH MISSY!!!

I trust I got my point across and that "sneakers" are no longer on the docket!

ANYWAY back to work!!

Have a great day,

and Remember to Pledge:

CB the contribution match is wonderful. What you and Alaska Steve are doing means so much to those of us fighting this disease. One day maybe there will be a cure we can only hope that it will be soon. I was sorry to hear about your cake platter I hope you can replace it. I enjoyed some great Chinese food and thought of you and CD tried to enjoy it for you both. Thanks for the Bella picture wow she has grown so much. Tell Juno no no on the sneakers however the trend here is flip-flops all that money spent on dresses and tuxes and what do they wear flip- flops insert shudder. I love the art show wonderful talent. Take care and once again thank you for the wonderful contribution you are doing for the St. Baldricks, event.

Sorry about your cake plate. We've been having a "swarm" of small quakes here (they think it's due to natural gas drilling) in the 2.0-3.0 range. So far, nothing at our house has broken, but I keep expecting my own cake plate or similar to meet the same fate! I don't remember signing up for earthquakes when I moved to Arkansas!

Glad you put a stop to the tennis shoe at Prom madness. That and flip flop are also a problem here. I just don't get it.

Sorry about the platter. Thats a real shame. Thank you for that acknowledgement. I've lost my dad, my uncle, and two aunts so far to this nasty disease. I don't wanna lose anyone else. I just wish I could donate more.
