They Arrived!!! They Arrived!!!

The brown truck showed up this afternoon with the usual one honk of the horn.
Out of the truck popped the female UPS, wearing the usual brown in color uniform, holding a small plastic envelope in hand.
With the delivery made, off she drove into the sunset leaving behind nothing less than another wish of Veronica's that has come true. And maybe just a wee little bit of a wish of mine too.
Because within the confines of that plastic envelope are tickets to the Jimmy Buffett concert being held at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Virginia Beach on 5/26 at 8PM. Not only did I get her center stage box seats but also VIP Club Passes and VIP Parking.
Once again I want to thank Ryan Conrad who is the Director of Premium Seats for Live Nation at the Amphitheater, for his assistance in making this whole thing happen. 757-3683017.
And so for a few brief hours, Veronica and I will be transported from our ordinary lives, through the portal of our minds and imagination.....to our own personal tropical island complete with small waves gracefully rolling onto the soft white sand, plenty of umbrella drinks and of course hammocks swaying to the sweet musical beat of that free spirit who is known as Jimmy Buffett.
It will definitely be one of those "Calgon take me away" moments.

Only A Week To Go Until The Relay For Life Starts

We have just a little over 7 days to go until the start of the American Cancer Society 2011 Relay For Life Outer Banks, NC begins.
I am still hoping to get just a few donations for this event. I know that times are tough out there but there are others that are facing the same financial issues plus they are battling medical issues surrounding this disease that seems to be everywhere we turn.
I am not asking for large donations. Just a couple of bucks here and a couple of bucks there.
These donations do not touch my hands. When you donate through the link below, all of your donations go directly to the American Cancer Society....so won't you please click on the link below and make a small donation. Every penny helps.
Don't force me to strip down to my birthday suit, paint my body bright pink, throw a bright green boa over my shoulders and run through Kill Devil Hills, NC wearing my 8 inch sparkly silver stilettos just to get a donation from you.
Believe me it is not a pretty sight and you would end up having nightmares for years to come.
A small donation would prevent all of those sleepless nights along with the accompanying cold night sweats.
