Appreciation Day at Cottleville, Missouri Fire Department.
My belated Valentine Cake was delivered today.  I find it very interesting that all these men know about this special day, even if they are new to the station. When they see us coming, we are always greeted with a big smile. 

This month hearts,, next month shamrocks.

 EVE AND FINN...
Saturday we got together with Don and his family. Don is the "angel" in Eve's My Team Triumph team. My Team Triumph teams runners with people who cannot run, they train and they run races together! Eve gets to ride in a deluxe running stroller and Don runs and pushes her. Last year they did a 5k in 

November and Eve loved it! A. She had a great time and did really great with Finn in that new environment! Not only that but we got home and Eve decided her and Finn were taking a walk ALONE!! So I let her --- well sorta I 
followed at a distance hiding behind trees LOL She knew I was there but was content if I kept my distance. She walked all the way up hill and around the culdesac and back. They took a couple breaks but did amazing!!! ( again I fell down on my job as photographer-- story of my life!) Our awesome neighbor    came out and walked with her for a bit too! The whole thing was so sweet and a great accomplishment for both of them. Finn was a little unsure about what was going on because they went as soon as we got home and he couldn't understand why they weren't heading for the house but she got him going 
and they did great!!

WITH GREAT SADNESS..
Grace received a message from Maureen (nurse w/ Cara) Curley's partner. Maureen was a nurse, has/had Cara, and had been volunteering for quite awhile. Maureen collapsed Thursday and passed away Friday. The calling hours are from 4-7 on Thursday at Twomey, LeBlanc and Conte funeral home in Newburyport.  She said the obituary would be in tomorrow's paper. Grace will be going. 

SEVERAL OF US WILL BE GOING... WHICH MEANS EXTRA HELP HERE AT THE FARM...
