We begin our trek to Washington DC in a few days to run in the Marine Corps Marathon. This will be my second time running and my second marathon. It's funny, I am just as nervous this time as last...maybe becasue I now know what lies before me and last year I was nervous becasue of the unknown...

This year our team consists of my sister Tess Gannon, her husband Rich Gannon, my sister Rita McKinney, my husband Bob Pate and myself.

If you'd like to track the "Camp Gannon" runners progress during the marathon

and click on remote runner tracking.

I will report on our marathon experience and post some pictures as soon as possible.

I am the proud aunt of Marine Maj. Richard J. Gannon II
KIA Iraq 4-17-2004

I miss you today and everyday Rick.

Milani purchased one of our beautiful Moroccan baskets with the shell buckle.



Carmine plays all the oldies from Hank William to Ricky Nelson. He does an amazing job of making the market fun and lively with his music. He always brings his wife Ruthie too.

Our friend Pam sells her beautiul photos of Italy.

Come by and see our great selection of Fair Trade Baskets from Ghana and Morocco. You can find us at the Irvine Farmers Market 3 Saturdays a month.
