| HAMBURG DINNER CLUB |
Hey guys this is a great opportunity to get together with old friends, classmates, etc. send Tommy an email if you are interested. His email is: hamburgdinnerclub@yahoo.com
Following is the email from him on the event.
Okay, gang. Finally, we've got things worked out for the August edition of the Hamburg Dinner Club. We'll be getting together on Monday, August 28th at Ray Winder Field, current home of the Arkansas Travelers. As this will be the last season they will be playing there we thought it might be fun to get together for a game, some dogs and burgers and good times. Maybe we'll get together at the new stadium next year to see how it compares. I can't imagine anything being better than Ray Winder, though. This will be our family outing for the year so feel free to bring the kids, grandkids or whoever. I know school will already be back in session but this is the best date we could come up with. The game will start at 7:10 that evening and I believe the picnic portion will start around 5:45. I'm also not exactly sure of the price yet. I'm trying to work to get us a discounted price but I'll pass along all that info as soon as I get it nailed down. I mainly just wanted to make sure everyone was sure of the date so they could go ahead and mark their calendars. I'm going to place an ad in the Ashley County Ledger inviting Hamburg folks to come up and join us so if you still have friends or family there encourage them to come join us. And please let me know if you are planning on attending and how many you expect to have in your party. I'll pass along all of the final info as I confirm it.

Here is a pic of my sweet babies before Zach and I left for Alabama:
Zach and I took a trip to Huntsville, Alabama this past weekend. We had a BLAST!!!! Friday after work off we went, it is about 5 ½ hours to where we were going. Far, Far away. Lol. We stayed in Tanner, Alabama. ?where? Yeah that’s what I thought too. We arrived in Tanner approximately 10:45 p.m. and of all things that people do when they are on vacation they go to WAL-MART! That’s right folks! My son is a Wal-Mart fan. So off we went at 11:00 p.m. We did some minor shopping and then to the house for some R & R which was much needed!
Saturday: Well we awoke late Saturday morning and we got ready and Jason took us to Huntsville, Alabama to the NASA Space Center. Zach had so much fun. He was amazed at the different things that were needed to go into space. We also went to see a Imax movie of space while we were there. AWESOME!!!!! Well we left the space center and it was back for an evening nap. I was worn out. When I woke up we went to the mall in Madison and shopped till we dropped. Literally! I dropped! Of course it was closing time for the mall also.
Since this was Zach’s vacation he got to do anything he wanted. And let me tell you my child is NOT hard to please. He wanted to go to the Super Target and to McDonald’s. Of course it is like 9:30 p.m. What else do you expect us to do at that time? Lol
Here is Zach with all of his presents see below:
Well, Sunday, it was a long day of rest. Yeah right! We got up around 11 or so and went to eat. Then it was time to load the car and visit for a few extra minutes before heading back to Arkansas. Left Alabama around 3:00 and arrived home before 9.
Thanks to Jason for the great weekend, Zach is ready to come back again. He hasn't stopped talking about the space center. I have definately got to bring my camera next time for more pics.
Here are some of the pics from this weekend ENJOY!

| FYI: Sarcoidosis |
Just in case anyone is wandering what I deal with everyday, just read a few lines below. The following is off of the National Sarcoidosis Research Center. Enjoy
Sarcoidosis (sar"koi-do'sis) involves inflammation that produces tiny lumps of cells in various organs in your body. The lumps are called granulomas because they look like grains of sugar or sand. They are very small and can be seen only with a microscope. These tiny granulomas can grow and clump together, making many large and small groups of lumps. If many granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works. This can cause symptoms of sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis can occur in almost any part of your body, although it usually affects some organs more than others. It usually starts in one of two places:
Lungs
Lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes in your chest cavity.
Sarcoidosis also often affects your:
Skin
Eyes
Liver
Less often, sarcoidosis affects your:
Spleen
Brain
Nerves
Heart
Tear glands
Salivary glands
Bones and joints.
Rarely, sarcoidosis affects other organs, including your:
Thyroid gland
Breasts
Kidneys
Reproductive organs.
Sarcoidosis almost always occurs in more than one organ at a time.
Sarcoidosis has an active and a nonactive phase:
In the active phase, the granulomas form and grow. In this phase, symptoms can develop, and scar tissue can form in the organs where the granulomas occur.
In the nonactive phase, the inflammation goes down, and the granulomas stay the same size or shrink. But the scars may remain and cause symptoms.
The course of the disease varies greatly among people.
In many people, sarcoidosis is mild. The inflammation that causes the granulomas may get better on its own. The granulomas may stop growing or shrink. Symptoms may go away within a few years.
In some people, the inflammation remains but doesn't get worse. You may also have symptoms or flare-ups and need treatment every now and then.
In other people, sarcoidosis slowly gets worse over the years and can cause permanent organ damage. Although treatment can help, sarcoidosis may leave scar tissue in the lungs, skin, eyes, or other organs. The scar tissue can affect how the organs work. Treatment usually does not affect scar tissue.
Changes in sarcoidosis usually occur slowly (e.g., over months). Sarcoidosis does not usually cause sudden illness. However, some symptoms may occur suddenly. They include: Disturbed heart rhythms, Arthritis in the ankles, and Eye symptoms.
In some serious cases in which vital organs are affected, sarcoidosis can result in death.
Sarcoidosis is not a form of cancer. There is no known way to prevent sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis was once thought to be an uncommon condition. It's now known to affect tens of thousands of people throughout the United States. Because many people who have sarcoidosis have no symptoms, it's hard to know how many people have the condition.
Sarcoidosis was identified in the late 1860s. Since then, scientists have developed better tests to diagnose it and made advances in treating it.

Thanks to all my friends, and family for the support.
Love always, Pamela D |
