I also gave blood today. I try to give every six or eight weeks when they are at city hall. Plus ya always get a cool pink wrap (or other colors),a sticker, and yummy treats afterward.
Feels good to do a little something hopefully that can help someone else. John
donates at his work, but if he's off when they are doin' it in Shelley, he donates too.

We're wrapping up the boys ball games this week. They may have some tournaments but we don't know yet. Hannah started softball this morning but my batteries were dead in my camera so we'll get some pics next time. She did really good, had a few hits and caught a few balls. Off to round up the troops and get ready for games. So thankful for...1) being able to donate blood and help others 2) Justin mowing the backyard 3) John and how hard he works for his family...I love you.
