Thoughtful People!

Just a few examples of some nice things family & friends have done for us:

• Birthday gifts from kids to ease recovery: a tray for eating/reading in bed, a Ferrari model to build, a great handheld racing game - Grid - since I won't be able go drive a real car, popcorn and one of my favorite movies - 3:10 To Yuma - on DVD
• A new master bedroom, some comfy recovery clothes, and countless other things from Ann Marie
• Steak, beer, and The World's Fastest Indian (biographical motorcycle movie) made possible by friends Sean & Matt
• Gutter & roof repair, with all the excitement that comes with a 32' ladder, thanks to brother Ray & friends Matt & Sean
• Care packages for the kids from friends Lisa A. & Randi plus sister-in-law Maggy
• Meals for 1 month coordinated by friend Lisa R; Thanks to all of Ann Marie's helping others, the turnout was unreal - Lisa said she had to turn away about two months worth of additional meal offers!
• Care for our kids from brother-in-law John, sister-in-law Susan, and Ann Marie's mom Elsie
• Colorful cards & posters from my family to brighten my room
• An awesome pillow signed by my family and coordinated by our favorite middle child!
• A movie rental The Game and that much-desired Coca Cola from friend Jeff
• Blogging support from Ann Marie and niece Becky
• Books, music, cartoons, and photos from our kids
• Well wishes & offers of help from friends & family
• More stuff that I probably can't recall!

Thanks, everyone!
