Babies & Booties

 

Last night, I went to my friends, Vernalisa & Pepe's home for a fundraiser.  Verna served a wonderful Italian pasta dinner with a tirasmu desert, that I hope to get the recipe for.   She had about 40 people attend to help raise funds for the Boots and Booties Military Baby Shower that will be held on October 19th, 2013 at the Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino at 3pm.  Co-Hostess and friend,  Marcine, has worked all year to help get this function ready.

 

The VFW Post 10047 National Military Service, Nellis Red Cross and Adopt-a-Serviceman are hosting Boots and Booties as a military baby shower for expecting moms.  The shower will be for approximately 200 new and expecting mothers who have deployed partners or are active-duty servicewomen.  All military branches of services are invited to participate.  The event will include gifts from the local community and flowers from expectant fathers. 

 

This is a wonderful opportunity to give back to our men and women in the military.  Please sign up as a volunteer if you have a time before, during or after the baby shower (somebody has to put those cribs together).  Please contact Jody Shervanick at 702-862-6064 or via email at jodyshervanick@hotmail.com .

 

 

The aging process-or once you have passed middle age.  I am very healthy and plan on keeping it that way.  But the other day, I was on a trip and my knee gave out many times.  Here I am on the other side of the U.S., hobbling around a plane trying to keep standing and serving my passengers as well.  I have never had any kind of leg or knee problems before and considered getting off my trip, but my crewmembers convinced me otherwise.  They convinced me to stay on, that they were already used to me and helped me when needed throughout the flight.  I really did appreciate that.  Tomorrow, I am going to my chiropractor and hopefully, it is a lower back problem (he always tells me I have lower back problems).  If not, I will see a regular doctor, but many of you who know me, know that my motto has always been-"don't know, don't care".  Heck, they're going to find something wrong with me, if they take enough tests.  It's all part of the aging process.

 

 

Tonight I had a free excellent T-Bone steak dinner at the Poker Palace, complete with my soda, salad & baked potato.  All part of the perks of being a local.
