Thursday, November 8, 2012

Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2007. Mattie and I were standing on the bridge leading to Roosevelt Island. A typical weekend activity for us. On the Island, Mattie always found an item that intrigued him and most likely it came home with us. Such items could be a leaf (like the one I am holding), a stone, or even a stick. In fact, we had so many collected sticks that we made an artistic stick display in the plaza of our complex for all to see.

The deeds of many of our supporters are speaking volumes! They are painting the world around us! We have been inundated with candy, which is a wonderful problem to have. I picked up more candy today and the loads are so significant that I can't collect them with my car. I have to use Peter's explorer.

Candy is all around us at home and the fragrance of chocolate hits you as soon as you walk into our front door. It is pervasive. As you can see our dining room table is covered with candy.

The candy continues to the floors as well. Literally it is everywhere. I haven't tabulated how much we have collected so far but it is significant. I am signing off for the day, but I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all our candy contributors. This candy will be making SO many families very happy!
