Say a Prayer for Randy Miller...

I've blogged about Randy Miller before...Last time it was about his talent.

This time I wish it was for something similar...

Recently, Randy was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Randy cannot work his concrete business or play with his band. Like many independent business owners and musicians, Randy doesn't have the health care to cover expenses to support his beautiful wife & two children. We are hosting a raffle in Redding for a brand new Wii. There are several businesses to buy tickets from. So, buy a ticket and help Randy win this battle. Every bit counts.

Cody Foster started making vintage houses in Nebraska back in '91. He was 16 years old when his grandmother taught him to craft lovely cottages and churches. People from all across the country collect his whimsical, classic abodes.

Cody's vintage tree is currently featured on the cover of this month's

Country Living Magazine.

The best part is hosting a drawing for one prime, real estate home.
