Family, Charity, and Other local events we have attended.
Well…our day started out fantastic. We attended the annual charity event for the abused/neglected kids at the Helping Hands children shelter. We pulled in over $1300 and loaded up two tables with holiday gifts for the kids. Here is the newspaper article about that: http://www.aikenstandard.com/results/1205-ABATE Here are a few pictures taken at the event: Here are the tables of gifts Here is Amy with Santa!! Here is Becky with Santa!! I can’t show you...
It’s been a while since I have updated our family website. I think I left off with my dear friend Rick being in the shock trauma unit following a devastating motorcycle accident on July 5 2010. Well, Rick’s recovery was nothing short of a miracle. Today Rick is walking with the assistance of a rolling walker though he insists that he really doesn’t need it. He plans to be walking without assistance and resuming...
Our New Year started out in a positive direction. New Years day which is also Amy’s Birthday found us enjoying a great family holiday meal and celebration. We were surprised that there were gifts involved! We expected a very small holiday but in fact Me, Amy and the boys were totally spoiled. Josh and Amy went up earlier in the day to begin cooking. This was the first holiday dinner that either of them...
This year has actually been a pretty good year for our family. I had done a favor for a friend who wanted to do a favor in return. She sent Amy and I some cash to go out to dinner and starbucks. It was an awesome gift and Amy and I enjoyed a night out. With the help of some friends we have walls in the office, a wood stove and a chimney. We...
I want to thank the Folse Family. For an awesome holiday gift. A much needed laptop computer. Here is a photo of Lori, Lou Online friends from Louisiana. Lori and I became fast friends when we found we had a few things in common, one was our love for Do It Yourself (DIY) Home repairs and projects but it went further than that, we both do our DIY projects using as much salvage and...
Not long ago I published an entry “Well we are still thankful” Which tells what happened on Thanksgiving Day. Because of this disaster we rescheduled Thanksgiving for December 6. Thankfully nothing went wrong. My mom came down to pick up my oldest son and Amy and I rode up in our truck. Everything ran well, we had to put a little air in the tires for the trip home but when you run on...
Well at the last minute (Last Night) my mom called to say my sister just got in from Charlotte where she has been away on business. Finding out that Amy was actually going to be home this year for Thanksgiving My sister didn’t want to just cancel and reschedule thanksgiving like we had planned. She decided she wanted to drive down here and take us out to a buffet dinner for the holiday since...
It’s been a while since my last post. I left off with the upcoming Crippled Critter Benefit hosted by Dixie Thunder of Aiken County where I am a member and have lots of great buddies. Riders on the Crippled Critter Benefit Run The economy has hit everyone and this years event was a little slow. The regulars who show up every year were there, Karen and Richard who always work really hard for this...
We have been doing pretty good for a little while, I guess it was time for something bad to happen. My last update was around my birthday which in spite of a sprained wrist went pretty good. Shortly after my birthday Amy got some fleece and had spun some yarn during a nice peaceful outing at Hopeland Gardens. Life was pretty good through August…what happened? The other night my son went to do a...
The month of July didn’t start out so well for us. Again I had been expecting some money coming in that didn’t come in. I was told last month that it wouldn’t be late again so I thought it was safe to budget on it…well that was another mistake and my car insurance bounced on me again meaning that when my SSI check came in I had to cover the insurance out of the...
