While my summer is officially over (back to work today; good thing I really enjoy my job), Sawyer has a few weeks left before starting his last year of high school. He'll be gearing up for college applications (SUNY New Paltz is still his top choice, SUNY ESF #2, Green Mountain College #3) and looking at potential scholarships. He's having his senior pictures taken on Friday; looking forward to seeing those!
He was the picture of health and strength last night when he walked in the door about 10 pm after spending the day on the farm helping my dad with hay. Wish I had taken a picture. Baseball hat, tousled hair, tank top, ripped jeans, muscled arms and chest, slight tan, relaxed smile. With the loading and unloading, he handled over 1200 bales!
He got a call from the Make-A-Wish office asking if he'd be on a Rochester radio show in a few weeks. The radio station does an annual on-air fundraising event for Make-A-Wish and they want to record an interview with Sawyer talking about his wish being granted.
September 7th is a 5K walk/run in Rochester to support the CURE organization. We'll be participating and would love company if anyone else is so inclined. We have greatly benefited from CURE's services and hope to continue to help out with their fundraisers. Mark has sold tickets for a raffle a few times and we both volunteered last year at a large brunch/auction. Information for the walk/run can be found at http://curekidscancer.com/cure-5th-annual-walk-and-5k/
