Race for the Cure

Today was the Race for the Cure event downtown. My thrid time particpating. What made this year special was my mom participating too. It is such a moving experience and to be there with a survior makes it even more special. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my dear Aunt Linda Gail. Sorry, I know you hate it, but that is what I know and love you as! I wish you all the best and I love you!

Congratulations and Welcome!

Two of my nieces recently made their fist communion. I feel privledged to be a part of their special day and to see them grow in their relationship with God. It makes me think of when Elijah's day will be here and how soon it will be.

If you can, please do

I received the TKE magazine recently. It had the TKE Foundation report in it. It looks like we are about $1,500 away from Gary's scholarship reaching the minimum amount to start awarding to college students. If you feel like donating, please do. All donations are 100% tax deductible. You can give as little at $10.00 and can make a donation online or by mail. Online, choose "Chapter Scholarship Funds". There is a spot to make a notation - reference "Gary Dysarz Memorial Scholarship - Rho Tau Chapter". All online donations give you a receipt that you can print for tax records. If you are not comfortable donating online, you can mail in a donation to the following address:

TKE Educational Foundation
8645 Founders Road
Indianapolis, IN 46268

Make the same reference as online: "Gary Dysarz Memorial Scholarship - Rho Tau Chapter"

I greatly appreciate any donation you are able to make. I also understand if you are not in a position to make a donation at this time. I started this scholarship shortly after Gary passed and have been waiting awhile to see it mature and be awarded.

Another May Birthday Wish

Happy birthday to Keith. I hope your day is great.

Congratulations Andrew & David!

Congratulations to my nephews Andrew & David. They earned their black belts in karate. Their dojo had a very nice dinner and presentation for family and friends to be apart of. I'm very proud of both of them.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there. I hope all have a nice day filled with everything that makes you happy.

The Little Man

As much as it makes me sad to write it, my little man is growing up! He's almost done with his first official school year. He went to the dentist on Saturday and was such a grown up -- he got x-rays, he's starting to get a loose tooth, and he let me put sealants on the two adult molars he has. A big change from a year ago!

Also, the big news . . . he joined the Cub Scouts! He'll be a Tiger Cub in the fall. Today we went and got his shirt and baseball hat. He looks so grown up!

The Latest

Well, I picked up my car today. Other than it stinking like sealant (whatever they used to instal it was a very strong chemical. I ended up cracking the windows in the rain to get fresh air on the way home. As I was leaving the dealership, I hear "don't forget about that survey." Oh, I won't forget about the survey and the time wasted on Monday, and the overall experience I had. I can't wait for that survey to come!

Frustration, Part 5

Today I had a call that my radio is on back order and it will take 1-2 weeks to get it and to come and get the car. Good thing I was in a meeting and didn't get that message right away. By the time I listened to that message and was steaming mad, the next message was from the service rep saying that they were able to order direct from the manufactuer and will have a new radio in on Friday. Another night with the loaner, feeling like I'm sitting on the ground and getting 22.8 MPG.
