BPBC 2012

Last weekend, Kathleen participated in the 4th Annual Bench Press for Breast Cancer, held at The Refuge gym in Middletown, Connecticut.  She raised almost $400 for the Connecticut affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and bench pressed 85 pounds and 95 pounds; and was oh-so-close at 115 pounds.  It was a great event and we were so happy to have down here to be part of it.

Making 85 pounds look easy!

95 pounds.

Goodbye

After many years as a loyal friend and companion, Benny went over the rainbow bridge on Thursday night.  According to the poem, animals that were ill and old are restored to health and vigor; they all run and play together and are happy and content.  Although we miss Benny so much, we are comforted by the fact that he is in a better place now.
