Re: Dreamer--soup & cookies Shriners

[Guest guest]

LOL- We LOVE Shriners! It was SHriners who took care of JImmy being in leg

braces, and who found his heterotopia. They also discovered his seizure

disorder. (he has atypical type seizures, due to the hetrotopia). They

continue to follow him, now every 6 months. He has an orthopedic doc there, a

neuro and a geneticist.

I was just sitting here last nite pondering them.and the Mc House

near Childrens Memorial. 3 years ago me and Jimmy spent the holiday at the Ron.

McD House because he had an MRI under sedation and did not wake in a timely

manner from the sedation. So, now every year our family drives back and

contributes to a Holiday Party the McD House has.

(maybe it was 4 years ago, I lose track)

On Wed nite past, Jimmys scout den leader had said while the scouts cannot do a

fundraiser, they had ways they could still do something to help, I am not sure

what they meant, but our local Moose sponsors our scout pack. I had not thought

of that becuz last March when my best friend was dying, and their bills were

mounting I had tried to do a fundraiser for their family (they have kids, and

their family had had much tragedy) - the Moose did not want to help- so I did

not even think of it at all. I tried to find information for doing a fundraiser

on my own , and it sure seemed complicated to me, all the bureaucratic parts...

I was also sitting here thinking about donations, food baskets etc. Our family

had at one time recieved this kind of help when my husband first fell ill...and

since we got on our own feet we have been steady donators since. My middle dtr

stands at storefronts and collects donations with our Chamber of Commerce and we

all go sort the donations and help deliver them. My Marine Corps League also

does our Toys for Tots.....so all this has been on my mind...LOL- on the other

side, of course. (as a contributor)

My fav cookies? It changes every year. I have always been a huge cookie

baker...as many as 30 kinds of cookies every Christmas. Shared with any docs

office, any place of business we utilyze thru the holidays etc...as well as for

friends and family. I love rolled cut sugar cookies and cookies pressed out of

a press and chocolate chip and oatmeal...just not store bought cookies, LOL.

Sadly, I am not as adept with making soup, so I am glad my cyber soup helped,

LOL.
