At our office we participate in a local charity fundraiser for Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Festival of Trees. The Decorated trees are purchased at the festival itself held in the Southtown Expo Center. We display the purchased trees in our office and raffle and silent bid them to our employees. To keep things a little confidential we use a name other than our own on the silent bid sheet to buy the trees. My name on the sheet was "Chester" in honor of Chester Gump. I was describing my "Chester" ghost name to Lenore and Deann. They were impressed with "Gump" lore. In secret they went online and were able to get a "Big Little Book" titled "Chester Gump at Silver Creek Ranch". I knew these books existed and was I surprised when they handed me a present for Christmas and inside was this wonderful book. How cool was that! Here is a photo of my new/old book. What a nice thing to do for me.


So Emma has turned one year old! It is amazing how fast time flies. She is the best. Kathleen and I could not be happier.
