Thursday, April 21, 2016

Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2007. That weekend we drove to Luray, VA to explore Luray Caverns with Mattie. The first time I went to such a cave was with Peter in college. We had Howe Caverns near us in upstate NY. I thought they were memorable and daunting at the same time and I was a young adult. I wasn't sure how Mattie was going to handle a cavern at age 5. But as you can see he was leading the way. In this respect Mattie was a lot like Peter. They both like adventure and new experiences!

It was another busy day! In the midst of juggling many Foundation things, I have now started staging and organizing the raffle baskets. We have nine wonderful baskets this year and they really do take months to solicit items and pull them together. Hopefully in a week or so I will have photos of the finished products. 

Anyone can support our raffle. Tickets are only $5 each and can be purchased on line:
