I've been busy getting ready for the July 4th party.  Some great friends braved the heat and hung out with me most of the evening.  Then another great July weekend with All In Love.  The band was in town for St Joe High School reunion for the class of 1972.  Three band members were in the class.  It is so fun to be with them...I always feel Dave around too.

It's been an interesting year so far.  This month marks three years since Dave's ER trip that lead to his cancer diagnosis.  July 2010 we celebrated a year and Dave's amazing strength and love for life and music.  Last July was a first for me....alone, but with so many great friends and family surrounding me. This year feels more bitter sweet.  I know it's time for me to start moving on, yet I really don't know how.....and it will include Dave Maki in some way.  Always.


peace, love, groove

Our first Relay For Life- it was a great experience.  We learned a lot and hope to be more organized and make more donations for ACS next year.  We sold doggie treats, duct tape flowers, Mister Edd CD, Cancer Dance notebooks and pictures with Michael Jordon.  We made an extra $400+ at our tent site that day.  Much love to all who supported us and who gave donations.  Thanks for remembering Dave Maki.

peace, love, groove
