Correction and a Toast to the Mystery Gifter (revealed)

In this latest post Sheila clears some things up (sorry for the confusion I caused regarding the fundraiser) and a code was broken.

Here goes--

Many of you were confused (understandably) by the post awhile back (http://stompthis.blogspot.com/2009/02/breast-cancer-fundraiser.html#links) that talks about a fundraising climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro. This is not me making the climb – it is a friend of my aunt’s. Although I’d love to climb a mountain in July, I doubt I’ll be up for it! It is a good cause, though, and one I would recommend supporting if you are so inclined.

Also, my friend Brenda Marshall outed herself as the mystery champagne gifter. We had to miss a much-anticipated dinner at Palisade the night of our wedding because of a car accident on the Ballard Bridge that brought traffic to a standstill. We heard through the grapevine that someone had bought us a bottle of champagne to enjoy at dinner. Brenda let me know it was her. Not only did she bring the bottle to the restaurant, she also made special arrangements with the wait staff and pastry chef to bring us four specially made chocolate desserts. We’re still heartbroken that we had to miss this extra-special dinner, but warmed by the kindness of Brenda. Thank you, my Saturday morning workout partner!
