The dining for a cause fundraiser actually donated a portion of everydays total sales to the local fire department! what a great way to give back.

Having grown up in this area, it feels much more like home, and it’s great to live around friends within walking distance!

There is still some little decorating to do and things to hang, but everything is in!

you may notice a new name and logo – same great pictures though!

“Your Timeless Photos”  has served me very well, but it was time to transition to something that spoke a little bit more “Me”.

There are a bunch of new posts coming down the line – and a new website should be launching soon! – till then the original site is still up and running.

My good friend Jackie tirelessly planned and hosted this entire event. This fundraiser is for lung cancer research and was started in memory of her grandfather. Since this was the first year, they had a goal of raising $10,000. Well, nearly 200 people turned out and a total of $25,000 was raised!!!

A big thanks goes to everyone that donated their time, engergy and services to make this such a big success.
