Rain and Donate

We need rain.  I mean it isn’t at a drought level, but it is significant.  I need rain to help me not have to water any plants tonight, but water I will. My cucumber plants look quite sad.  I spent time away with one of my favorite people, so watering did not happen yesterday.  I could use a rain dance from someone.  

I do not have a lot of reading to show for my weekend, but I made sure I read each day.  Since, I am reading everyday to help raise money for the American Cancer Society.  Raising money to help with Cancer care, cures, research, and help is very important to me.  If you do not want to donate through me – do it how it works for you.  Although I do need to point out for the next two days Jimmy Fund will be collecting donations via the Red Sox and the sports channel and radio channels.  

I have two people right now who are very dear to me fighting their battle with cancer.  Both are able to access quality care. One is much further in her journey than the other.  My sister was diagnosed very early in her cancer journey and is on the other side successfully living her life.  My dad, grandmother, aunt, uncle and several other relatives succumbed to their cancer.  My aunt was able to live 7 years with bone cancer.  Her strength was always remarkable to me.  

Please consider donating.
