It was time for the Race for the Cure and so as we had done many times in the past, we began with the journey to Sam's Club for food
and serving pieces
and then the baking started (as always more than we could eat)
with cookie sheets cleared to make room for more
as apples were delivered
and Suzanne made last minute arrangements on the phone
while I finished my Popsicle
and we then went to pick up Ben from Claire R.'s Bat Mitzvah and he showed off his new shirt
while Ed modeled the new hair piece
and then conferred with Sarah
before putting the hair piece on Sarah.
Meanwhile, I admired the Halloween paperweight
that Suzanne had bought me
and then Joel arrived
and after saying good bye to the Straus family
and the M&M's
we went to Jonah's Bar Mitzvah reception where his grandmother held court
and then prepared to take pictures
of the Holmes
and of Eric Vogt's father.
Back at home, the mixer was going full force
and flour
and chocolate chips were being assembled
as we admired all of the apples
and began work on the signage
while admiring kisses
and candies all in pick
and a buffet set for fall
ad the owl stood watch
and we wondered if we could gift these books (among other things)
as we admired the candy stocks.
Then the race came and the kite
gave us a sense of how we might stretch cords to decorate
and to symbolize the finish lines
as the courses were created
and the M&M's were served
and yet another finish line was drawn
even as the bowl for checks was placed
the candies were out
and Ben cleaned the outside table
as Suzanne organized inside
and Ben showed the signs of his hard work
as he moved on to his second table.
The chips of various sorts
and dips
and candles were out
so we trekked to Hoagie Haven
where the 6 foot hoagies were loaded into the car
along with the condiments
and we arrived home to see that the first racers -- Sharon and Kristen -- had arrived.
As Ed brought in a hoagie
we organized the table for all the hoagies
including the spare one in the kitchen
and then the cutting began
as Jeff arrived
and Suzanne, Sharon and Kristen
primed Kristen to pose
and then posed as a group
before Maxine and Nancy
and John arrived
and Sarah and Ed settled in.
Next came Carole Messersmith
and Stephen and Lizzie
followed by Pete and Lisa
Sheryl
Paul and Carol
and Will
as Jane, John and Ben stood by the door
and the Fuchs came with their dog
as Ira posed
and then the Marshes arrived
followed by the neighbors
and some friends of Jane
and then the Straus family women
and Alan
though Joel escaped to the backyard football game
so they needed to borrow Sarah for their family picture
as Seva arrived
followed by Michelle and Steven.
All of this activity made it clear that people needed to assemble
for the group picture
but after many tries, it was clear that people had to reassemble
in the other direction for a group photo with better light
|
and so the walk began and along the way we ran into the rest of the Marsh family
and back at home were Doris Shea
Cindy George
Claire Mulvey
who also posed with Sarah and Ed
John Shea
and Emily Shea
and then when the crowds left, Jamie
and Jon Huang appeared.
After recording one more year's sign, we saluted team Suzanne and felt good about the funds that we raised.
