I'm Bragging Again

because I'm Proud as Peaches........

Once again I ask you to indulge me in some bragging.

Andrew flanked by his two sisters, Little One and Beauty

My ten year old, bald by choice grandson, Andrew reads Alex And The Amazing Lemonade Stand to all the preschoolers at his little sister's school.  This is quite a large group considering there are several classes, each named after a different animal.   This year Little One is an Owl, but there are Teddies, Butterflies, Froggies, Tigers, Penguins and Kangaroos!  

The teachers said the kids listened intently as Andrew read the story about a four year old little girl  with cancer, named Alex and her goal to raise a million dollars to find a cure selling lemonade.  She reached that goal before passing away at the age of eight.  Since then, her foundation, run by her parents has raised over 40 million dollars through Alex's Lemonade Stands across the country.

I love how Andrew brings awareness about love, caring and sacrifice to even the youngest children.

He Ain't Heavy....He's My Brother

Grandma J had a really  funny slap-my-fanny post for you....it was all ready to publish....in the can, as they say in the business.  But.........

Here I am, climbing on my Proud as Peaches Platform!

I just found out that my granddaughter Beauty, decided that she wants to do something special to honor her brother Andrew on St Baldricks Day.

That's right....this adorable eight year old is stepping up and offering up  her golden locks to the shears of a barber.  She's getting her head shaved this Sunday to honor her brother Andrew.  

If you are in So CA, and don't have plans Sunday, stop by and cheer all the kids, and grown ups on as they show off their bald heads to honor survivors, memorialize those who earned their wings, and those still fighting the good fight.

And no....I couldn' t be prouder, as I step off my Proud as Peaches Platform.
