Back in California

During the months I'm home, I am trying to get together with many of my supporters. Last weekend, I was able to participate in Walk for Thought, a fundraiser and awareness campaign for the Brain Injury Association. My friend Donna, whose son James has an acquired brain injury, organized the event at Mission Bay. Here's Donna hard at work. James is ready to go.
At the start line.

It was nice to give back to someone who has given to me.

Wedding in France

I've helped with lots of weddings, but I rarely take pictures because I'm so busy. However, this time I made an exception because of the many hours I invested in helping to make this wedding take place. Bow-making is not on my list of skills, but I began to get the hang of it after making the first 8 or so. I made somewhere between 36 and 40 bows. My cousin is the experienced one with flower arranging. I have learned a few tips from her, enough to give me the confidence to create a flower arrangement for the gift table and sprays for the columns in the church. Thank you, Ruth!
