Sawyer would like to send his best wishes and a shout out to the Alfred-Almond boys' and girls' soccer teams who are both heading to the Section Five Finals! Good luck to them!
We got outside for a walk today (first time out of the building in 2 weeks) - what a beautiful day and warm temperatures. We had lunch at Subway and then headed to Wendy's for a frosty. I made him "suffer" for about 15 minutes while I popped into a consignment shop on our walk. I only tried on 3 shirts and bought one thing after a pretty quick tour of the shop. I told him I'd go back tomorrow without him and he couldn't understand why I needed/wanted to since, in his estimate, I'd been in there at least half an hour (which by his standards is 3 times as long as anyone needs to be in a clothing store, so why in the world would I need to go back tomorrow?!).
There was a nice article in the Hornell Evening Tribune tonight about the fundraiser happening on Sunday. Mark and I need to give a shout out ourselves to the fantastic friends who have organized it and to everyone who has donated something or volunteered to help. In this time of always seeing depressing news stories, this is one to lift hearts -- a caring community coming together for a common cause (sorry about the alliteration!). And other friends and family are pulling together some other helpful services that will continue to make life easier for us after we return home. Now that sounds good -- home.
