CMT Awareness Night at the Patriots Stadium

CMT is short for Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome, a nueromuscular disease that is found in the Muscular Dystrophy Family. It is degenerative and is passed from one family member to another. Doug has it, our son Tim has it and our grandson Kellen is too young to diagnose. Our Girls may also have it or be carriers of the gene. Although it is not life threatening, the onset of CMT is life altering and debilitating.
In support of research we attended the Double Header/Fireworks game at Patriots Stadium, Bridgewater, New Jersey, yesterday, Saturday, August 11, 2012.

 Guess who said...."I know you!" The girl in blue - Lori Mattheiss, was our first employee at Scrapbooking Moments In Time in Bound Brook, New Jersey. Standing next to her is Alanna Huber, the group leader for the NJ. CMT Association. Lori's son was diagnosed with CMT three years ago (lori carries the gene)
 We also met family there! Have not seen them in ten years but here at Patriots Stadium we met Bruce Rex and his daughter Karen Rex Lambert.
Can you tell that they are related? In the background is Bruce's wife, Kathy. It was so nice to talk to them again.

 UH! OH! clouds are moving in .....Let's finish the first game.

 And the second game of the double header begins.

 Look at those happy faces having fun!
 Rain, rain go away.......

Bridgewater New Jersey has an ordinance that fireworks cannot be set off after 11pm. The rain delays prevented the fireworks.....But  everyone was offered to turn in their tickets for another FREE game!

Lemonade and Tea

In preparation for our summer lemonade stand, I decided to make homemade lemonade from scratch with Samantha, Kamryn and Kellen.The recipe is simple...one cup of water, one cup of sugar (bring to boil to create simple syrup), one cup of hand squeezed lemon juice, then add three to four cups of cold water. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and serve over ice.







Now for the tea....because I am retired and have little else going on in my life :) I stopped to take a picture of a sign that is part of my pintrest bucket list. Take a picture of Tea Street! You can now check that off my list!

Had the privilege to take Samantha to her Cheerleading Practice tonight. Her two hour practice consisted three runs around the football field, hoola-hoop practice, situps,jumping jacks,stretches,lunges, a game of duck-duck-goose and lots of Cheering! Sam keeps calling her cheers SONGS! She is a good listener and tries to do everything that is asked of her.
What else was I supposed to do for two hours............

Absolutely the cutest cheerleader there and I say that without prejudice :)
