2 Weeks To Go!
With only 2 weeks to go in my fundraiser for Never Too Late, I have great news! I have already collected over $1500! I continue to get checks in the mail almost daily, which is wonderful! I am amazed at your generosity, and thank you SO much to all of those who have already contributed! I know we will have made a difference for many seniors who would like a wish granted. I still have 2 more weeks, and will continue to collect money until May 31st.

Pictures From the Trip
Here are some pictures from our trip.
Dad playing checkers with the girls. Chicky Magoo 2 was into "kinging" everyone, even in the middle of the board. I think he had his hands full, not only teaching the game, but also figuring out what was going on with the game.
Chicky Magoo 1 went around and found walking sticks for everyone. Dad got a HUGE one that as you can see is over 6 feet tall. I guess she thinks he is really tall, or that he really needed help walking! Being the good Grandfather he played along for some of the trip, and walked down the street with his tree limb. Chicky Magoo 2 kept trying to find the smallest walking sticks.Auntie Magoo 1 has a video of her that I'm hoping to get posted to YouTube soon.
A trip to Rough River isn't complete without a game of Galaga. It was the original one that we played as kids, so only the blue color was still working on the screen!
The path leading down to the lake. This is where we skip rocks! Chicky Magoo 1 got the hang of it finally. I think she is better than I am at it. Chicky Magoo 2 wanted to be sure and "plash" everyone with big rocks. We did find out that 2 kids throwing rocks at the same time probably wasn't a great idea. A few people took rocks to the back, rear, and almost head! Yikes!

Rough River
This weekend we took a family trip to Rough River, Kentucky. We used to go there as kids about once a year, and it was fun to take the kids to see it. We went boating, fishing, walked the trails, played board games and even got in some shuffleboard. I'll get the pictures posted soon!

Good Point
This excerpt comes from the latest book I'm reading 'Stumbling on Happiness' by Daniel Gilbert.
'What would you do right now if you learned that you were going to die in ten minutes?...
Hard to say, of course, but of all the things you might do in your final ten minutes, it's a pretty safe bet that few of them are things you actually did today.
Now, some people will bemoan this fact, wag their fingers in your direction, and tell you sternly that you should live every minute of your life as though it were your last, which only goes to show that some people would spend their final ten minutes giving other people dumb advice.'
