A Wish Come True

Wishes do come true for some people. My mom lives in a nursing home and there is an organization there that helps out the residents by granting a wish. When my mom was asked what she's always wanted to do but never had a chance to do, she replied that she wanted to go to a Blazer Game. I know my mom and dad watched them on tv over the years. My dad loved hearing Bill Shonley on the radio! Anyway, my mom's wishcame true on Jan 15, 2011

She went in style by limosine, accompanied by a care giver, Sam, and 3 of her family members...her son, David, granddaughter, Megan and me, Becky,her daughter. Tickets were paid for all of us! How exciting is that? Here is a photographic journey of our evening.

Granddaughter and Grandma in limo!

Megan said it was nice to have a grandma with benefits! We all laughed!

Becky and David--all on our way!

3 of us had not seen Blazers play,

David saw them in a pre season game.

My ticket.

Priceless for me!

Blazer Dancers were walking around and I just happened to look over when they were close to mom. I motioned to Megan to get a picture with them. Mom didn't know who was behind her till after the photo. Fun for her!

I was cheering the Blazers on and bro was shooting photos!

Mascots dancing to a song during a break. It was Blaze's birthday so a bunch of different team mascots were there for half time. It was pretty funny watching them dance and be on the ground. Some had a hard time getting up.

Blaze is the middle one!

YEAH!! The Blazers beat the Nets! Best part!

Loved that they won and it was our first NBA game!

A family photo before we depart Rip City mania!

We enjoyed our time together!

Our limo awaits for the ride home. So thankful it wasn't raining much.

All photos were taken on Canon Powershot and Fujifinepix

point and shoot cameras.

Spring is Coming!

Lady Bugs in January?

Look, the rabbit hasn't run off!

Daffodils in my flowerbed! This was taken a couple weeks ago. Nothing blooming yet!
