Benefit

There was a benefit yesterday for my uncle Gary. The McCusker's softball team that Gary (and my dad) played on organized the benefit. It was so fun to see these people from thirty years ago!

It was a somber occasion, but one that was also filled with generosity and love. Everyone seemed to give all they could to help him and aunt Margene. There was wonderful food, and two great clowns to entertain the kids! Mira and Amelia both got their faces painted. Mira became a lion (and so did many other kids after they saw her cool paint job!), and Amelia became a cat for the day. She wasn't shy about meowing to every single person who crossed her path!
The food was great and the live auction was great fun! I scored a pair of Twins tickets in the lower level, so I'll be taking Chris next week on his birthday. Such a memorable day. We love you so much, Gary!
