ELF

 

It was an evening to remember.... 5 of us out to dinner and then... the 5th Avenue

Not allowed to take pictures during the play, but the theatre is very beautiful

Many smile at the fun event 

And many  dress for the fun event 

“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup.”

And we helped ourselves.... as we said our good nights..

I live an exciting life 

A brief encounter

 

Meet Eric.... He held the needle as I was reclining and giving my blood for a good cause..It was a little longer than the normal... 13 minutes... so we had time to talk.

He has POTS.   I know someone who also has that diagnosis and was interested to hear more. His main symptom is dizziness. Thankfully, not when he is drawing blood.

He has had about 8 years of experience  ( I was comforted to hear that too )

He also said that he used to go to church with his Nana while he was growing up in Florida, but since he came to Washington, he has not gone.

As I left the mobile unit I told him "You  should go to church, it is Christmas, and call your Nana ♥"

He said he would call, and thanked me

This is the reason I donated today.   Little Charlie in the white boots has been treated for cancer for two years.   Now 6 months free !    She and her family are giving back to the community for their support during this time, so they have a blood drive...also a golf tournament...and a toy drive.

Enough said.

Gotta love the Stenson family

Oh, we are related.. Charlie's grandpa and me are first cousins.  Family is so precious to me.

I  live an exciting life
