BLAST bake sale
Many of you know my brother Frank and his knack for baking fantastic peanut-butter based desserts that are impossible to resist. (I often think he does this just so he can make his siblings fat and then tease us afterwards!).
As much as he loves making goodies, he enjoys eating them, as well as, hitting up local bake sales to try out other's creations. This love has prompted him to declare that we must continue to have a Bake Sale at BLAST.
Frank has taken it upon himself to start mixing up some of his best treats to stock the bake sale. While he is pretty talented I fear that he has bitten off more than he can chew (haha!) and could use some helping hands.
If there are any bakers out there who would like to contribute baked goods to the sale that would great!
You can drop items off at the church on Saturday starting at 2:00.
Email info@BLASTnb.com if you have questions.
Happy Baking:)

BLAST Childhood Cancer Sept 21! Need your help
Thank you to all who sent encouraging words for the first day of school. We made it through. I have a great picture but for some reason cannot get it to post:(
Second day one kid overslept, one kid lost their schedule and one kid was organized and ready to go (I'm sure you can guess who did what!).
We are quickly approaching our 4th BLAST and need your help!.
We do know that our event is the same day as Canton Homecoming and we are offering a special dinner rate for homecoming attendees, as well as, transportation to the dance.
If you are reading this please think about what you can do in your neighborhood, at work, school, and sporting events to help raise awareness! You could:

Not ready...
I'm not ready....I'm never ready for school to start. I love summer and the schedule-free days and having my kids around. I dread the homework, cooler weather and shorter days. I'm not ready.
Tomorrow my teens will wake up and get themselves ready for the bus and holler goodbye. I will stand there with tears in my eyes as they move on in their life and I know I must let them--- they are just growing up. I will cringe at the letting go as all parents must do.
I will sigh and try not to have an anxiety attack as once again the hole of sorrow left by Lisa attempts to swallow me. As the clock ticks, I will try to count all the blessings Lisa had and not regret that she does not get to start third grade as she/we had all hoped. I will try not to cry too hard that for the first time in 12 years I do not have a child to put on the grade school bus and then race on my bike to beat them to the school so I can greet them when they get off with smiles and a camera.
I will try to balance my thoughts and feelings so I can figure out a way to LIVE life fully. Lisa having cancer was hard, living without Lisa is harder. I will do my best to live and remind myself that there are many times in life we are not ready for what we are dealt but we must still move ahead because life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's learning to dance in the rain.
