The other night I heard Mom and Dad talking- something about freezing and a lake. I know- that sounds crazy, right? And after Mom put that tree in the living room, I was wondering what the next crazy thing was going to be- and I think this is it.

She told Dad about these folks who PAY MONEY to jump in the lake down at Florala. They don’t get paid- they pay money to jump in. But then she told him why – you see, there are some good folks who live in Florala, and they like to help people who need it. So they started an event called Cancer Freeze– every year on the first Saturday in February, they do all kinds of things to raise money to help local folks who are fighting cancer.

They have a pancake breakfast, a fun run (and you know I love to run!), fishing, chili cookoff, auction,  a car and bike show and I don’t know what else.

But Mom is going to be there- in fact she’s making a biker doll to raffle off. (Dad can’t go this time because he can’t get off work.)  I can’t wait for her to finish it! Scout tried to help by chewing on the yarn Mom got for her hair, but Mom made her leave it alone.  As soon as she finishes it I’ll put a picture up so you can see it. She’s gonna be wearing a tie dye t-shirt and jeans, and maybe even chaps and a vest.

So I want YOU to come by and see us – bring lots of money to spend on tickets for the doll, and to buy some chili and some pancakes, and to run, and just to donate!
