STRIKE OUT CANCER!

When our family has an occasion, we don't just have cake, we have Stacey Cake! For a while Stacey had to like get a job and take care of her family or something (really?) and she stopped making cakes! So, the Scribners stopped having parties because parties are not parties without Stacey Cake. I can't begin to describe to you the experience, I don't even like cake, but I LOVE Stacey Cake. I think Stacey's congregation is still scratching their heads about the time Stacey proclaimed loudly in the packed Christmas Eve service that she just loves that my husband starts salivating every time he sees her! She was talking about the cakes--I think, but who would know! She says she has a defective filter, I say without defective filters, what would we all have to laugh at? Anyway, we also have a hard time with parties because our boys have unfortunate birthdays. Bo's falls during the one week every year that Columbia (usually, including him) goes on vacation and Pierce's is in January right after break.

But Stacey is back in business, and Bo's tenth birthday was last Thursday--he was at the Little League game in Indianapolis, so it wasn't a bad day, but he didn't have a party or anything. So, next weekend, Sunday August 24th, we want to invite EVERYONE to come out to Town & Country Lanes on Providence to have Stacey Cake and maybe bowl a few with Bo. We have reserved 4 lanes, but if you want to bowl, let us know and we will reserve more. We could never have made it through the last couple months without all the support--every single letter, phone call, prayer and positive thought that was delivered when we needed it most. So this is one small thing we can do to say thanks! Especially if we don't know you, come out so we can meet you and say thanks in person. I can't begin to tell you how much I have come to appreciate some of the people who have sent e-mails or stopped into the store to give me positive energy. And to be honest, though there are a lot of people who tell you horror stories of energy suckers and people who say the most inappropriate things, Columbia gave us NONE of those. This is a birthday party, but the only gift we want is your presence. Bo has more material stuff than any boy should really have and we have no more space for anything, and without a safe place, the dogs will eat it. The best gift he and the rest of us can have is to know how many people are in his corner and to be able to say thanks in person!

So remember:
Bo's STRIKE OUT CANCER! Party
Town & Country Lanes
1508 North Providence Road
Sunday, August 24th, 2:00-4:00

RSVP if you want us to reserve lanes, otherwise, just come so we can say thanks! With love, Lisa
