Saturday kicked off the second Relay for Life for Berrien County - South County Style. Last year we attended our very first relay,...this year, we've made two. Next year,... bringing a team to the festivities! Get your walking shoes and give Kim a call - she'll sign you up for something. Hannah and her Grandpa's all participated in the south county walk.From walking a track to the open waters of Michigan. I gave my hand at fishing for a second time this summer. Anyone who knows me, could tell you that Dave doesn't fish. I eat fish.
I have the same common principles when it comes to eating beef: I get it from the store and let the middle men do their thang!Stay posted for the fish fry - I now have a license to be a fish predator,... and as long as John's there to untangle the line that I've managed to knot up and remove all hooks for the depths of the fish that I've somehow caught, it's game on! -or would that be Fish On!
We had a visit on Monday from our local artist-teacher, Melissa Rescoe (MR to you bloggers). She brought by an awesome sign for Hannah's Cookies for Cancer campaign.
We now rank right up there with a top fundraising campaign with our very own thermometer of progress.It must be working, because tonight (with the help of Sharon and Harry (our Make a Wish sponsors) buying out our remaining stash of cookies), Hannah, Max, and Emily closed shop 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
If you haven't had a chance to check out Madi McLean's sight on CaringBridge: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/madisonmclean
Reading her log today, she is home. Another wonderful example of how great God is,... when we visited her last Friday, they didn't think they would be home this soon.
Peace and Prayers

Hi Hannah, I'm glad you took up on my idea of making a thermometer to show the progress of your Cookies For Cancer project. Melissa, you did an awesome job on creating a very visual and eye-catching sign. I can't wait to see you reach the top of it! God's Peace be with you and your entire family!
Yes-indeedie-a busy weekend for the Kelly family. How wonderful to see the "temperature" rise on Hannah's thermometer as we stopped by to purchase some on the way to dinner. I have faith that you will reach your goal, especially with the concert in August to help.
Keep on fishing! Keep on praying! Keep on being a servant of Jesus!

Hey, just to let you know that you all attended the Niles-Buchanan Relay for life this past weekend. Which I heard raised like $160,000. which I believe puts the total so for for the county like at a little over 600,000 dollars for the American Cancer Society. There is still yet another Relay for Life in Berrien County which is truely the newest relay (2nd yr)which is on August 23 & 24th at New Buffalo High School beginning at 9:00 a.m. with the surviors walk. We would love to have your family attend. Love the progress meter. Glad to hear about Madi :).
