Thanksgiving 2010

Written By: Dan

We celebrated this year's thanksgiving at my Dad's.  It was a great meal.  Some of the best stuffing I have ever had.  I need to remember to ask Jean for the recipe.   The Lions lost again (this time to Tom Brady and the Pats), and the Euchre games were pretty lopsided too :)  Annie famously commented that the middle is sometimes the end.  Way too deep for a card game.*

It was a great Holiday, and a great start to the Holiday weekend.

NDP 2000 10 Year Reunion

GoodShop

Written By: Dan and Annie


Hi Everyone. If you do your Chrismas shopping online, do me a favor. Go to this site first:
GoodShop is a charity website. Here is how it works. Go to the link (http://www.goodshop.com/?charityid=894241 ). From there find whatever site you usually shop at (Best Buy, Sears, Target, etc...) to do your shopping. After you are done that store will send The Twilight Benefit Foundation a portion of the money you spent online.

This is not a scam. We've been doing this for about two years now and have gotten almolst $900! Just by a few of us shopping online. And it is the same website you usually shop at. The consumer pays no extra.

This year The Twilight Benefit Foundation is raising money to start a research grant relating to the etiology, treatment & cure of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in children. It is a great cause and a great charity. You can find out more at http://www.twilightbenefit.com/ . And you can help by just going to a website before you do your holiday shopping online.



If you have any questions, see us!



Thanks for your support

Dan w/ the championship trophies

Written By: Dan

Before the Pistons/ Bobcats game last week (Pistons 1st win of the season!), the palace staff offered pictures with the three championship trophies.  This is pretty cool.  I wasn't given permission to kiss the trophy - I had visions of recreating '89 Isiah picture- but I did get close enough to get a photo.

Halloween

Halloween is great.  This year we went to see Aunt Donna, Lynn, and Bella.  Bella and I hung out while Dan, Annie, Lynn, and Aunt Donna went to the Lions game.  The game was great.  Just like last year, it was blocked out  And like last year, we got to go.  And like last year, they won!

When we got back we all had dinner.  Got into costumes (yes, Dan has a fluffy dog that Annie puts into clothes.  We try to limit it as much as possible though), and handed out candy.  It was such a good Halloween.

Zoo Boo

I went to the Zoo, and didn't see Animals.    Go figure.  Actually, we did go through the reptile exhibit on the way out.  It was fitting with the Halloween theme. 

According to Annie (and the Zoo Boo Website) "Zoo Boo is a merry-not-scary Halloween celebration with a cleverly decorated half-mile trick-or-treat trail through the Zoo."  In otherwords, they gave kids (and adults) candy during a walk through the zoo (but not the animals part).  It was fun.  They do a corn maize*, pumpkin displays, blow up displays, even a show.  It was all aimed for Kids, but entertaining for the adults too.  

After the show, we went to Pasquales with the Wasiluks.  It capped off a great Friday night.
