This morning at 6:30 we’re all headed for Big D for haircuts and to run some errands. Tonight Lori and I are going to the annual fundraiser for VMS, Jag’s school. I helped them out with their wine and saved them about $12,000 and Lori thinks we should go, so off we’ll go. It’s at the Ritz Carlton and the theme is “Woven Together” which is a Scottish theme. Lori and I will not be wearing kilts or tartan but many will. I’m sure it’ll be fun.
Last night Jag and Ethan went to a movie. Ty stayed home as he had basketball after school. Tomorrow at 11 am both boys are going to a meeting of the Junior Chapter of Canine Companions. Vail has the only Youth Chapter in the Country and Lori is on the Board of the organization. I graciously (ha) am donating the wine for the 2018 Gala and a trip for the 2018 auction to go see Andrea Bocelli in concert, probably in Las Vegas. It’s a good cause as they place highly trained dogs with disabled people for life. Some are kids, some veterans, others adults, but all are in need of assistance and it truly changes their lives. I donated wine to them last year and we sort of fell into volunteering this year. I only agreed to do it if 100% of the money raised went to help people as too many “causes” these days are just profit centers for those running it. Trust me, I know as I get asked weekly for free wine! When we heard about the Youth Chapter, we sort of volunteered the boys.
Some good news, Jagger was accepted to the Intraterm school trip to China in February! He’s one of ten kids going. They told us yesterday, and get this, want us to pay for half the trip on Monday! Thanks for the notice, huh. On top of that, Ty has been accepted to go back to camp this coming summer in the Teen Leader Program! This is great too! It never stops!
So, (my Mom always said to me, “you know you say so a lot, right?” ha) we have a busy weekend. Time to get moving. Hope all is well and be careful this weekend with the anarchist protests. Take care, be safe, keep the faith and God Bless.
