Pink Night 2020
To tell this story properly, we need to go back one year to the first Pink Night. Thunder Ridge High School put together an event to raise cancer awareness. They supplied free pink t-shirts for everyone to wear and a silent auction. The booster club president Michele Kennedy had heard about the Foundation and […]
Tri Cities Trip 2020
Back in November, Ryan told me he was going to schedule a minor surgery in Spokane for his hip so he could continue to compete in triathlons. I told him when he had the surgery, I would come over and stay as long as he needed me to. We talked and he decided to […]
Happy New Year 2020
It’s hard to believe how fast last year went. I was talking to my Mother-In-Law Berna Deane and we both agree the older you get the faster time seems to go. When I was in High School, the only time that moved that fast was summer vacation. In the past, I have written what […]

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year. Each year this holiday helps me remember all the things I have to be grateful for. I will start by saying how thankful I am that Cassidy was able to make it here before the weather turned horrible. I only hope it will […]
NRF Celebration Dinner
This story begins three years ago when I had a booth for the Foundation at the “What Today’s Women Want” event at the Shilo. A lady came up to the booth and asked me to tell her about the Foundation. I explained our mission to help cancer patients and told her all the money […]
Dealer Conventions 2019
I returned home Wednesday night from two very exciting and rewarding Equipment Dealer Association conventions. There were so many great experiences that it was hard to choose which ones to write about. Let’s begin with the Far West Convention in Phoenix. To start with, the main thing that makes this one special is the […]
