I APPLAUD YOU EMMA FOR PARTICIPATING & SHARING IN THIS WORTHWHILE NOBLE CAUSE.
Congrats Emma and thank you for donating your time. You’re a gem! See you Saturday at the field and bring your A game!
Oh Alex! You got an account here! Thanks!

Evan,
Thanks. Thank you for inviting me Evan. I already got my bag of groceries. Probably will add a couple of stuffs to it.

Forgot to mention that when we went to volunteer with the Dodgers on Tuesday to the Los Angeles Food Bank, the guy giving us a tour told us that there have seen a decline on donated supplies but an increase of needy people.
Congrats to Clayton and to the Dodgers! I think this was a great signing all around. I love that the Dodgers caravan does so much charitible work and it’s wonderful that you participate. Hey, I wish I could join you guys this weekend. I had it on my calendar. I’ve been looking forward to it…but unfortunately I have also been sick since my friend’s funeral so I am staying in this weekend. Have a great time! I’m headed to Dodger stadium at least twice this season, so I will look for you then.

What a great event! The chance to help the community alongside some of your favorite players seems like a great idea (though I suppose it could be a bit distracting, too).
Happy Anniversary to you and your blog, Emma. Keep up the great work!
Kristen,
Let me know when you are at Dodger Stadium. come early for BP!

Sue, Thanks! A little distracting. I had Kershaw infront of me but I think that only motivated me to work the assembly line faster. lol.

Thanks Jane! I ran into another of your books at a library!
