I have been sewing but will share more of that later...
But I have also been busy with a special event...
Yesterday I participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer's at one of the parks here on Long Island. We had a marvelous showing of family, friends and loved ones yesterday. The entire day was amazing and very emotional. As the top fundraising team (in six weeks our team "Day by Day" raised over $12,000) we were asked to have someone speak at the opening ceremonies. My beautiful niece Amanda gave a heartwarming and very emotional speech telling her story about my sister Doreen's diagnosis and what our lives have been like the past 2 years living with Alzheimer's as a new member of our family. Then, along with over 1000 other walkers we took a very nice relaxed walk around the lake, only 1.5 miles.
This is a photo of my sister's family yesterday at the walk. (Amanda is standing in the middle)
