Happy New Year





Wow, the first full week of January has come and gone, already!!!! Things are going pretty good here on Sycamore Road. I am still taking my EMT class and Dale is getting geared up for Lacrosse to start in a few weeks!


I had the most amazing award bestowed upon me by a very dear and special friend on New Years Eve morning. My friend Tara submitted my name to our favorite local radion station, Froggy 99.9 for their "Everyday Hero" award. They present this award once a week to local folks that are making a difference in this crazy world. Well, they picked me and I was presented with a very nice award, a Best Buy gift card and dinner for 4 at Jimmys Grille in Bridgeville. WHAT AN HONOR!

I am not a hero by an stretch of the imagination...but it was very humbling to know that my efforts are paying off. Tara is a member of TEAM GUMP and walked with us at the Light the Night Walk. She is a member of the Seaford Vol Fire Company and works part time at Laurel Fire Co as an EMT. She has been a huge help to me with my EMT studies and a breath of fresh air on any given day. All that and she is only 19 years old. WOW! Hopefully I can effect some others just like her. See, its Gerry's spirit that keeps me going, and I know he is very proud of me!!!!

Well gotta go, ttfn Love Deanna
