this is a blog in 3 parts: a plea (or request....call it what you like), a giveaway, and the rules for the giveaway.
THE PLEA:
you may or may not know, but D was adopted through the foster care system. let me tell you, it is one seriously messed up system! not sure how it can possibly ever get fixed, but intelligent caring people who are adequately funded would be a start. to that end, the family is participating in a fundraising walk/run. J and I are doing the half, D is doing the 10K, R is doing a 50K - on his bike. whatever! he made up his own event! Dolly is joining us too.......weather will determine which race she does. the event is a fundraiser for a group called Mountain Circle Family Services. as I have done a lot of training along the American River Parkway with the turkeys, dear, snakes, and occasionaly coyote, I am looking forward to seeing a couple of bears during their race, Running With the Bears. (please note: the race is NOT called "Running FROM the Bears......though that might improve my time?!?!?) I am also hoping for lower temps than Sacramento!
so the plea........please consider making a donation to our "team" HERE. quick, easy, tax deductible, will make you feel good and earn you my undying gratitude! figure, it has been too hot for Starbucks so you should have an extra $5 or $10, right?? thankyouverymuch!
THE GIVEAWAY:

2. Giraffes!
3. Fair, Zoo, Rivercats! Although maybe the cats should be higher since I've never been?
I've never been to the River Cats game so no idea what there is to eat! And I haven't been to the fair in over a decade! I need to get out more.
There is a Sacramento Zoo? Seriously, haven't seen that either. Really need to get out more.
Fair, River Cats, Zoo
Can't go to the fair without sharing a funnel cake =) and I love the deep fried artichoke hearts. My favorite animals at the zoo are the orangutans.
Any prize would be fabulous! But, preference is 1) State Fair tickets, 2) River Cats, 3) Zoo
Thanks for the opportunity!
