Day 14 - Hamp and Easter Seals

Oopsie, I did not post last night, but I have a great excuse. It was the annual dinner for Easter Seals, and it was a late night for this sleep-lovin' gal. Anyhoo, yesterday's entry is now today's part one. My brother, Hamp, is seven years my senior, and he is a royal hoot. He is the biggest social butterfly I know, and beware if you ever give him your number...he will call! He loves to chit-chat, and he also loves to keep everyone informed about the happenings about town. He has a police scanner, and b/c of that delightful device nothing much gets past him. He is truly one of the most loyal and wonderful human beings I know...love him very much and am very thankful for him every day!


Also, very thankful for Easter Seals which is where he lives. You can read more about Easter Seals if you like....http://www.easterseals.com/site/PageServer. It is a wonderful place, and my entire family benefits from Easter Seals daily. Last night the annual dinner raised over $500,000 for the children and adults of Easter Seals. Yahoo and thankful indeed!!

"We have but one life to live. We get nothing out of that life except by putting something into it. To relieve suffering, to help the unfortunate, to do kind acts and deeds is, after all, the one sure way to secure happiness or to achieve real success. Your life and mine all shall be valued not by what we take...but by what we give." Edgar Allen, Founder of Easter Seals (1922)

  1. Hamp's report to me on the BIG night was there were some "chicks" there who had on some cute cowgirl outfits and danced; sounded like Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders to me! And he was fascinated there were live goldfish on the tables as decorations. What a night it must have been indeed.
