School's out today!

I've been crazy busy...I am helping to coordinate a fundraiser. A family that used to be in my oldest son's class, was involved in an explosion. This event sounds unbelievable, but it's true. This event really made me take stock and just appreciate and be humbled by the fact that things can be changed in a moments noticed..

check out this website..  www.caringbridge.org/visit/jrlitehiser

This guy sustained 80% of his body burned, 70% of his burns were 2nd and 3rd degree burns..He has  a wonderful wife and two lovely children..It just made me think, hard and long about how our life can change in an instant.

This Saturday, June 14th is a  garage sale with 50% of the benefits to go towards the J.R. Litehiser fund. 

I organized the bake sale portion with 100% of the profits to go to the fund. I am anticipating a huge turnout..

I spent hours e-mailing people encouraging them to come and support this event,,

Please help me to help this family contact me at jenreed1023@gmail.com or donate to any U.S. Bank under the account of J.R Litehiser.

Thanks,

Jen Reed

P.S. recipes to come soon..I promise..
