I hope everyone had a great weekend!  It was a busy one here...a little running - some sewing - a beautiful wedding to attend - a craft sale - and a field show.  All in all it was a great weekend with many great events.  It was pretty cool to see my first Cotter Field Show, for those of you who really knew Joe - he was a big drumliner (not sure if that is a band term).  I didn't get to see him preform in person, for our paths had not crossed yet - but he made sure to show me video a few times...


Alright - So I am sure your attention was drawn to the flyer featured before my post here.  Some WSU students approached Team Vogel and wanted to host an event for one of their classes, that would benefit Team Vogel.  We were super excited to be apart of this and we hope all of you will take a moment to stop down this Sunday and support their event.


HOMERUN DERBY
-Sunday, October 17th-
12p - Registration Begins
1p - Homerun Derby Begins


There will be hotdogs and brats for all the hard working participants and the cheerleaders in the crowd.  The Homerun winner will receive an authentic Twins jersey and all places will receive multiple gift certificates to local eating establishments.  It will be a great time and after the derby - everyone is invited to stop down at Bub's where the awards will be distributed and good food and drinks are always available at Bub's.


I'm putting my money on the elder entries - the non-WSU participants...Now come on - don't let me down :)


If you have any questions - send us an email at teamvogel@hotmail.com

Hope to see many of you there!

...Although I try not to count the days, I am always aware how many it has been seen I've seen you Joe.  I miss you more and more and the empty void that was left is still so very empty.  With that being said - I BELIEVE that you are happy and healthy.  I am sure you miss all of us too, but enjoy not feeling sick - not throwing up - not struggling to catch your breath...You are Joe Vogel again!  Although I don't like living without you - I would rather live in different places right now if that means you can be healthy and not sick.  I promise I will live each day to the fullest, because I know you are too.  Somehow you passed your strength to me and I can do this.  143 forever and always.

...and Zoe wants you to know - I just don't cut it when it comes to cuddling, so she is looking forward to the day she can jump on your recliner and snuggle in.  (Possibly even give you a nose snort)

...Skittles sends a head-butt to the ankle.

Sending my love to all of you and remember to take time - it's all we have.
Love - Rach

Thank You Rachel for reminding me to take the time. This is a message that I needed to be reminded of lately. It's so easy to get wrapped up and stressed out in all that is going on-and it's too easy to forget about the things that really truly matter. Your reminding message could not have come at a better time.
Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I find them very inspiring as well as comforting. Hope the bug moves on quickly or maybe you could just squash him. Love ya, Jude

Hi Rachel,

Hopefully the bug has found a different place to be - and you are feeling better.

Congratulations on your new position - YOU WILL BE PERFECT for that job.

Your reminders of how precious life is and that we need to enjoy each day is so true and Joe certainly taught us that. You are carrying on his strength and inner power through your thoughts and stories. Keep on believing.

Peggy
