Hi all -
Well, insomnia hit again and here I sit. I thought I might as well put the time to good use. DECEMBER 6TH is the date.
Our next room is upon us. Our workers will come primarily from the Ronald McDonald house. This will be an easy room.
JOSHUA SOLOMON is an adorable 4 yr old boy who has in-operable brain stem cancer. He is loaded with personality and this is a good time for us to be doing his room.
Joshua's Mom is on leave from her job with the Mercer Law Library and his father is a financial planner. They live at 1207 Clairmont Place in Riverside Park here in Macon. They have a nice, neat & clean two-story home.
The theme for Joshua's room will be THOMAS THE TRAIN. The cabinet company who did the car bed for us has graciously volunteered to do a Thomas the Train Bed for Joshua and for all who saw the car bed - you know this will be a real treat for Joshua.
