What a busy week! It always seems like the week before a holiday I’m running around like crazy. On tuesday the Ann Arbor RFL committee had our first meeting for the 2011 relay for life. I can’t believe how quickly a year has gone by. I’m extremely excited for another year of RFL and I hope to get a lot of help and donations *winks*! Wednesday I was lucky enough to have a makeover with Elizabeth Colburn. I look so much older now! I know my family is saying “NO!” But hey, I’m turning 20 this month! People may laugh but I feel like 20 years old is ancient, at least for me. My new desk chair also came! It’s beautiful and comfy. Now I can finally sit and type and surf the web without my back killing me.
Friday I got my hair colored “Amy Adams” red and it looks stunning! I waited until just before Halloween since I went as Giselle from enchanted. I spent the rest of the day making Mom’s Chili. As always it tasted fantastic. I made sure to make a triple batch this year so I could have leftovers.
For those who don’t know my neighborhood always has Halloween on the Saturday nearest it. My guess is so kids can stay out later and we can all spend the day at the Halloween party. The event is held at the neighborhood park with kid’s activities, and a chili cook off. I had fun curling my hair before hand but I must have used five days worth of hairspray.
Today in the mail I received a monthly letter from Arbor Hospice. Usually I take a glance and toss it but this one caught my eye. It’s called the Hearts Of Remembrance Program.
“Making a donation through the Hearts of Remembrance program is the perfect way to remember the people who have touched your life. Whether you hang your heart in a doorway, on a tree, in a window, or give it to a friend, your gift ensures that Arbor Hospice will be there for thousands of terminally ill patients and their families. More info.
Remember a loved one this holiday season by visiting the Hearts of Remembrance Tree. More info.”
The other great thing they have added is a Commemorative Brick program. I would love to get one or two for my parents. I have also added a Donate button on the top right if you feel inclined, it would be very appreciated!
“When you designate a brick in the gardens of the Residence of Arbor Hospice, you create a timeless tribute and make a lasting contribution. Our Memorial Walkway is a source of inspiration and quiet meditation for our patients and their families and is open to the community. Bricks placed in our Veterans Garden are reserved for Veterans. We encourage you to visit the walkway and lovely gardens. More info."
