This weekend was a fund raiser for Habitat for Humanity at the Altavista Walmart.  While I have no idea what the cost is to build one of those houses, I think I may have earned them a door knocker or two. It was a pretty good weekend despite pitiful weather.  Rained all day Friday and Saturday.  Was beautiful today, but windy.  It was so windy in fact that I got covered in powdered sugar and looked like the Dough Boy.   I've got powdered sugar in several unmentionable spots plus in my nose, behind my ears.  My shoes are even white.  Can't keep the animals from licking all over me.  No, not Jean or Amanda.  The dogs and cats. On Friday, it was a little slow during the day but about 4:00pm, it started raining hard.  I mean a good ole fashion downpour.  Would you believe I did $100 in 15 minutes?  Crazy people standing in line getting soaked. Early Saturday, a gentleman, somewhere between 85 and 147, stopped by and wanted to know if I'd give him a mini-funnel cake for a can of beans.  He was serious, too.  I cooked it, gave it to him, and told him to keep the beans. How's that for a new business venture?  Bartering for Funnel Cakes.  Sweet! I'm trying to become a little more techno-receptive and have started Twittering and am on Facebook.  While I'm still not sure what to do, I'm having some fun with it and have even had some chats with old friends.  If you'd like to get involved, let me know and I'll give you what little knowledge I've gained. This week features my first event for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life program.  I'll be in Smyth County--wherever that is--doing an Easter Egg Hunt.  It's a fund raiser for the Smyth County Relay that I'll be doing later this summer.  I'll be getting all of the details tomorrow morning. I'll also be rearranging my schedule to accomodate the Nationals schedule.  I hope to do 70 of the 74 home dates.  And, the Kickers seem to still be interested in Big Red for my open Saturdays when they have home games in Richmond even though I can't do their whole schedule because of the baseball commitments.  Plus I'm getting everything in place for the upcoming races at RIR.  Busy times, thank goodness.
