One Direction - Story of my Life - Opinion

I really, really love this song.  Like so much.  And I confess that although I am as old as dirt, I cried at the video.  

Hockey! Sharks Season Opener - 10/3/13

I've got 54 photos to post here so I'm going to keep the chatter to a minimum...(but I must say I was experimenting with colors in a lot of these pictures.  Subjects are not always as orange as they appear.  Although some are (I'm looking at you Doug).)  

Cliff's Notes:

Canucks (BOOO) at Sharks (YAAAY HAPPY)

No Adrienne (SAAAAADDDD)

Street Fair:

Sacramento Walk to End Alzheimer's - My Walk for my Mom, Beverly Halford 10/5/13

On October 5th, I was privileged to participate in the Sacramento Walk to End Alzheimer's.  I walked on behalf of my mother, Beverly who has had the horrible disease for some 10 odd years now.  She used to love Elvis Presley so I'll include some mood music that she would appreciate.

Fittingly, the day was absolutely gorgeous.  They passed out promise flowers in different colors to signify how Alzheimer's has affected you and to signify a promise to Honor, Care, Remember, and Fight.

There are four colors:

Blue:  I have Alzheimer's 

Purple:  I have lost someone to Alzheimer's

Yellow:  I am supporting or caring for someone with Alzheimer's

Orange:  I support the cause and a vision of a world without Alzheimer's

I have to say...it was such a beautiful and uplifting experience.  Hard for me to believe when it stems from such a truly horrific disease for both the person who has it and their loved ones.
