8th Walk For Hunger (& Mug Card Finish!)

We have now walked 160 miles to raise awareness of the hunger issues in our neighborhoods and the funds to support the fight against hunger.  We want to send our sincerest thanks for your support this year (and past years) of our efforts.  This was our 8th walk with Project Bread and The Walk For Hunger.  This year, 42,000 people joined together to raise $3.6 million to provide food for 448 emergency food programs in our cities and towns.  The funds will provide a hot meal or a bag of groceries for hungry families next winter.

Thank you for helping us raise over $1,200 in an effort to affect positive and systemic change to prevent hunger.    Also the team we started at Baker House has now raised over $30,000 to fight hunger!  We are proud.

Project Bread advocates change in our community and, while feeding the hungry now, attempts to implement changes to END hunger for the future.  It is an organization we believe in and have chosen to support for the last eight years.  We cannot express how grateful we are for your generosity and support in helping us strive for change in our community.

It was a gorgeous day for a walk this year and we started bright and early so we would be done in time to watch the Celtics game.  After we crossed the finish line, we walked another mile back home and back to our pub to watch the game and finish off our mug cards! We figured it was a grand way to celebrate another successful Walk – we our now proud mug owners at our local pub.

Red Sox Game 4 – L v Mariners – 4-5

Fiallen Game 4

Jenks strikes again!  We were not excited when he stepped in to relieve Daisuke – and our misgivings proved to be well placed as he coughed up a double. And the win.  Blah.  At least the Mariners still hold a special place in Jeannette’s heart.

This is our view for the other half of our tickets this season.

Red Sox Game 3 – W v Blue Jays – 9-1

Fiallen Game 3

Our dear friend Bloomer called us up with extra tickets to the Patriots Day afternoon game.  We had a great time catching up with him, watching the Sox get another win, spending some time in the sun and then watching some of the Boston Marathon as it runs right past Fenway. We saw some of our old Baker House kids dressed up as the Baker House mascots on the route.  Bloomer can see the race from his roof – it’s pretty cool.

Round 1 W – Celtics v Knicks (96-93)

Fiallen Game 22

We had tickets to Round 1 Game 1 of the Playoffs this year.  There were more Knicks fans present than anticipated – and they were a bit aggressive and vocal for the regular Garden crowd.  It was awesome that the Celtics got the win to back up the Garden fans mouths in the stands.  Way too many Carmelo Anthony jerseys there.

We wore our new Celtics gear we got from Thadd for Christmas!  Thanks Thadd – we love it!!

After the game we headed over to our favorite pub and worked on our mug cards.  A good night!

Red Sox Game 2 – L v Blue Jays – 6-7

Fiallen Game 2

We saw the Sox lose to the Blue Jays tonight.  Actually we had this one in the bag and then we saw Jenks lose it tonight.


But we had a great night and this is our view for 1/2 of our games this season!  Nice!
