Today Ryan (and we) was blessed to receive a visit from BAMM (Bay Area Magic Makers), a chapter of the Peter Pan Foundation. This group of beautiful young people sang a couple of songs for Ryan; one by Jack Johnson and the other by Switchfoot, knowing that these are two of his favorite artists. What an amazingly talented group. They also gave us a generous check for monies they had obtained from charitable events they held on Ryan’s behalf. Thank you BAMM from the bottom of our hearts. You are welcome back ANYTIME!

As long as I’m doing commercials, I’d like to put a plug in for my neighbor Dianna Condon’s business by directing your attention to her website www.diannacondoncuisine.com . As well as being a wonderful neighbor, Dianna is also a wonderful cook who just happens to have her own catering company. We have had some fabulously delicious meals created by her, and I wanted to make sure not to hog her talent all to ourselves. Please visit her site and book her for your next event. You will be extremely pleased!

And one more…Actually, it’s a teaser. Be on the lookout in the not-too-distant future for the ability to order Ryan’s Recipes; a cookbook of compiled recipes of the many delicious dishes our family has enjoyed throughout this past year, which were lovingly prepared for us by family members and friends of our extended community. As soon as we can remember the password (yet again), we’ll put a link on this website for you to place your orders. It’s a really nice book, and you’ll definitely want at least one…

Now, may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
