  1. Hello all,

    First of all, I would like to thank all of you who made donations to the Bonnie Addario "A Breath Away From a Cure Foundation" I am very grateful. We had a wonderful time at the Lung Cancer Gala. The whole night was very inspiring. It is encouraging to know that there are many people working hard for lung cancer,... but we all know we have a long way to go. Though, I must say, Bonnie Addario and the foundation have made great strides. I had the pleasure of meeting Bonnie at the Gala and I have included a picture of her, with Napper and I. The whole night was lovely, including a beautiful tribute to Dana Reeves, as her father, and sister both spoke. Also there was a tribute to lung cancer survivors... and as we stood, we were given a beautiful silver bracelet engraved with "a breath away". It was very moving. I was also the lucky recipient of a lovely diamond bracelet. Napper had purchased two martini glasses, each with a chosen #. We picked the lucky # 42 and it won!!! I will treasure both of these beautiful bracelets.

    The rest of our trip was also fabulous, as Bruce and Jeanne, Napper's business partners, had several action packed days. We took a bus tour of the city, which concluded in Sausalito, where we had lunch and took a ferry back to San Francisco. We spent a couple days in Napa and concluded our trip back in San Francico with Beach Blanket Babylon, a long standing musical. The kids and I also had the opportunity to get to the beach, at Half Moon Bay, during a meeting day for Napper. I have included a picture of that as well.

    Our Thanksgiving holiday was awesome, as we had the O'Connells (my sister and family) and my dad here for the celebration. It was a nice relaxing, fun time. Now we are enjoying a visit with my mom. The weather has been a bit of a nuisance with freezing rain, but we still managed to get out for a little shopping and our annual viewing of The Nutcracker. As always, it was a special time, and I feel very blessed to be here to participate.

    I have been busy getting xmas portraits processed and decorating our house for the holiday, it has all been a joy!!! I would not trade one minute of one day. Brian has been busy with his friends and indoor soccer. Bonnie has been to many rehearsals recently for her xmas choir performance, as well as, dance and ballet. Napper keeps it all running smoothly!!

    Best wishes for a wonderful holiday.

    Blessings to all, Denise
