As the birds chips and buds bloom

Well, it's been a while. I apologize if you have been coming here on a regular basis, looking for news or random thoughts. The main reason you haven't seen much of me lately is because I don't really have anything newsworthy to say. I have plenty of opinions and events going on in my own life, but none of them relate to Carol.

With the weather picking up (ok, maybe not this week) there will be fundraisers to plan for and information to share. I'll try to stay on top of things. For those of you involved with events, send me an email if you want anything posted.

So, we all weathered that looong, drawn out winter and have new life to look forward to. Spring is upon us and the warmth will soon be on our backs. This time of year reminds me of Carol a lot. There was a renewed energy when the days got nice and I could see Carol's smile light up the room when she walked into my office. The first thought that popped into our heads would be "what a great afternoon to be sitting outside with a bloody mary".

There still isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about Carol. I know that is the case for many. I still have times where I really need to pick up that phone to tell her something because she's the one that would understand. But, along with realizing that it's no longer an option, I also realize that it's OK. I understand that she was brought into my life for a reason. She has taught me so much about relationships, family and the priorities in life. Her knowledge and sense of humor enlightened me and changed my way of viewing things. I have learned to cherish the experiences and celebrate the gifts that Carol has given me.

Just a drop in the bucket

I recently spent some time with Tim Renzelmann, the VP of the SCCCF. You may remember this organization as being the one that Carol asked us to donate to at the time of her passing. They help out local cancer patients in time of need and have been able to really change some people's lives.

I did some database work for Tim last year, helping him track the donations and gestures that they receive. Every once in a while he calls for additional help and I'm happy to jump in where I can. I'm also making regular donations in Carol's memory. It seems like the very least I can do.

With tax season upon us I wanted to leave a gentle reminder to all that any donations made to the SCCCF are tax deductible. If you've made one in the past, or would like to make some in the future, please keep this in mind. It was important to Carol that other people in her shoes, but without the financial means, were able to find solace in the support coming from this fund.

If you'd like to remember Carol through ways of a donation, I know that Tim and the organization would greatly appreciate it. For me, I've decided to choose special days to make my donations, like her birthday, Cinco de Mayo and July 15th.

Rated FG - feel good

I watched a movie last night called "Griffin & Phoenix". Absolutely loved it. I highly recommend it to those that love a 'real' story with an ending that makes you think. I thought of Carol a few times during the movie. Actually, a lot of times. Rent it...

Happy birthday dear Carol...happy birthday to you!

Mary:

I've been thinking and thinking about what I wanted to write and something that I hadn't thought about in a long time popped into my head the other day and I decided that must mean I should write about it. Being the big sister, it's sometimes hard for me to think of my younger siblings as adults. I always thought of Carol as that cute and sometimes-annoying little kid who used to tag along and get in the way and make a mess with her catalog paper dolls (there's another story...but I digress). Then came a day, probably in the late 80's sometime, when I was working in Bloomington and Carol was in the Twin Cities for some reason and she had a phone interview scheduled, so she came to my office to do the interview. I remember sitting in my office with her, sort of working, but mostly listening to her side of the interview. I remember thinking that she sounded so professional and confident, and that she had a lot of talents that I hadn't even realized she had. I think I told her when she was finished that I was really impressed and I would certainly hire her - at least I hope I told her.

Kathy:

I had a hard time coming up with one specific memory but I did want to say that I like to remember the healthy Carol who had just started dating Brian in the summer of '99. She was soooo happy and excited about what the future held. I really believe that was the happiest time in Carol's life and her joy - as always - was completely infectious. One more thing. I have this photo of Carol on my dresser (attached) and it makes me smile every time I look at it. If you haven't already chosen some photos, I'd love to share this one with those who haven't seen it. It's from the lunch she threw herself in January '06 to celebrate 5 years of survival. Some days I feel nothing but sadness about what the disease did to her, but other days I draw strength from how she handled it.

Wendy:

I have SO many memories of Carol, that I didn't know where to start. I will touch on one of them, and that is when my brother Tommy and I bowled with them on Halloween. Carol was such a cute cave woman. (Brian looked good, too!!) Tommy and I were clowns---boy did we fit the part. (That was Tommy's idea!!) I don't remember how we bowled, but all I know is that is one night I will never forget!!
I do remember all the Christmas gatherings with the family, no matter how Carol felt, she always managed to have a smile on her face, and I will cherish those smiles forever. I loved her Santa hat she wore one Christmas to keep her head warm. She was just SO festive!!
I miss her SO much and my heart aches for her. I know she is going to have a WONDERFUL Birthday & Christmas in heaven with Dad. (It's been 6 years now, and I still can't believe how much I miss him as well----I know it gets easier, but the emptiness is what is SO hard.

Denise:

Happy Birthday Carol!
There are so many moments thru the past 6 years of our friendship that I would love to share because I feel truly blessed that Carol was in my life. She truly has made a huge impact on my life and for that I want to share short memories tidbits that still bring a smile and a warm fuzzy feeling to me.
Bandana Sisters For Life! One of the first Fridays after Carol started at Muth she wore a bandana in her hair not knowing that I too had whipped one in mine. We thought that was so funny that we started wearing our bandanas every Friday together. We were branded the name “The Bandana Sisters.”
For awhile Carol and I would get our nails done together on our lunches. Those days were always one of my favorite monthly activities with her, aside from our “Girls Night Out” (GNO). I would always try to convince her to try a new nail color but her favorite was OPI “I am not really a waitress.” After she got sick and the nails came off, to cheer her up I purchased that color for her so she could ‘pretty’ her nails up.
When the days were long at work I would walk down to her office and ask if we could “Escape to the (Ford) Escape.” That phrase was used often by both of us.
A couple weeks or so before her wedding, Carol took me for a ride in her Corolla to show me the location of her wedding, which was still one of my all time favorite weddings.
After many conversations about the wedding hairdo, Carol asked if I would join her for her ‘trial run’. After 2 or so hours in the salon, we finally found the perfect style. *smiling* Carol was one beautiful bride.
In the summer months Carol and I would walk for a half hour on our lunches - occasionally she would send me an email:

From: Stecker, Carol

Sent: Monday, June 05, 2006 2:06 PM

To: Morley, Denise

Subject: one foot in front of the other

Feel like taking a short walk around the block at about 2:30?

And off we would go. I think I enjoyed those walks the most because it gave us time to talk and catch up with each other.
After my husband and I purchased our house I would tell Carol about all the tulips that were blooming in our yard. She commented on how she loved tulips and wanted to plant some in her yard. So the next day I brought in some tulips to brighten up her office.
The stories could go on and on…Again, these are just some of the many memories I keep with me. Carol and I did have a lot of good laughs together. I miss her more and more every day. Happy Birthday Carol!!!!! I love you.

Sue:

One of my favorites was Christmas of '05. Dave had just been diagnosed with cancer and we were all gathering at Jerry and Bert's and pretending that we were in a festive mood. All of a sudden, from the basement of their house we heard bells jingling. Sounded just like Santa's sleigh bells. Carol bursts through the door wearing a Santa hat and jingling sleigh bells with her great bellow of "Merrry Christmas". She and Brian were to have arrived a few days later, but in true Carol style, she wanted to be with the family and offer her comfort and support to everyone. So she made the drive by herself and Brian flew in a couple of days later. That was just so like her. No matter how lousy she felt, she still took such an interest in others and in their day to day lives. I miss that so much.

Some of my other favorite memories are of when Dominic was born, and Carol allowing me to be in the delivery room with her. It was absolute hell watching her go through labor, and I swore that I would never have children of my own! But seeing that little boy come into this world is something that I will never forget. Then there are all the memories we shared when he was a babe and a toddler. We often laughed about how any times we took a trip in the car somewhere together, Dominic would ALWAYS fill his pants.

I could go on and on, and it feels good to do so. Maybe I need to start a journal and get some of these memories down. Carol always told me to write down the cute things that my kids say. She would always tell me "You think you'll remember them, but you won't". I don't ever want my wonderful memories of her to go away.

Thanks for encouraging us to remember the good times, KB. It has certainly been a rough 5 months, and I know there are many more crappy days ahead, but I do find myself dwelling more on the great times that we had, rather than just the crappy last few years. Afterall, that's what Carol would want me to do.

Bert:

My mom passed away on 12/5 so my family has been focused on that and trying to make it through the shock and sadness. I was talking with Jerry this morning about how similar my mother and Carol were: both feisty, fun-loving, smart, beautiful, strong women who had to fight a very horrible illness. As we celebrate Carol's birthday, I'll think about her in sadness but also in happiness as I remember all the gifts she gave to the world, most importantly the unending love she gave her family.

Kristi:

Where to start? Carol was my go-to gal. I shared my many problems with her and she was the first one I ran to in the morning when I had a funny story! She never judged me or my decisions. And even if she disagreed with something I did, she made me feel OK with it after we'd talk everything out. Our personalities were so similar it was scary! We loved the same foods, had common interests, shared the same wit and were both easily annoyed by poor grammar. We even finished each other's sentences at times. I opened myself up to her and never felt vulnerable.

A few key moments in our time together:

• New York. The best vacation of my life. The destination and the company I kept. And I can't thank her enough for journaling the whole adventure in her blog for me.
• Carol's new pants. She came into my office one morning, absolutely mortified! She just bought some pants (unfortunately one size bigger) and forgot to take the clear sticker off that runs down the back of the leg. Her new size was plastered for all eyes. Someone finally told her a few hours into the day. Talk about a gut-wrenching laugh over that one!
• Chili-pepper beer. We hit a local pub one night and they had club cards where you drink all these crappy cheap beers and get a Tshirt at the end. The bartender made a deal with Carol. He'd check off three cheap beers if she drank this hot pepper beer (the pepper was actually floating inside). She slammed it (with an Old Style chaser) and that was her last. She suffered all night and the next day...in many ways.
• The Unity Concert. March '07 I took Carol to the charity concert organized by the SCCCF. All of the performers were local and outstanding! I was tickled that we were able to spend that time together (our real last night "out") and that it was spent doing something so meaningful that we both enjoyed. A priceless evening for us both.

In memory of Carol Stecker. Let's all raise a glass!

Road America cancer walk stats

Sue finally received some numbers from the ACS. A note to remember: the three highest place teams are large corporations. We are a small team of people that came together on our own. I know that Carol would be impressed that we raised 1/2 the money that the giant Kohler Company did. That's commendable.

2,144 people participated in the walk/run
71 teams were involved
Carol's Crusaders was the 4th place team, in terms of money raised, coming in at $7,022
Carol's Crusaders had 51 participants
The first place team was Kohler Company with 284 participants and $15,925 raised.
(2nd place was Pentair with $9,203 and 3rd was American Orthodontics with $8,641.)

There are some great pictures on the site. What I love is that you can see Dick with his Carol sign in many of them!!!

Any last thoughts?

I'm a little sad that I haven't received one email to celebrate Carol on her birthday this weekend. I still plan on writing about her, so if you change your mind, please send me any fond memories that you'd like to post.

Thanks.

Did you hear the one about...

Carol's birthday is coming up in a few weeks. I know I'll be thinking of her that day, just like many of you. Not that I don't think of her every day that passes, but it'll be a special day of rememberance.

I'd like to celebrate her that day by sharing Carol moments with everyone. Please send me favorite stories or memories that you have of Carol. Whether they're full of emotions or good to make us laugh, I'd love to hear them all and bet others would, too.
Send to: popper53@sbcglobal.net

We bid farewell

I'm saddened to share that my boss (and once Carol's), Mike Muth, passed away yesterday morning. He was a great businessman and asset to the community. As the owner and CEO of the Muth companies, Mike had a strong presence within Muth Mirror Systems. Even as he was weaning himself slowly out of the business and nearing retirement, he always made time for his people and kept them a priority. Whenever he was in the office he would walk around and greet every employee, by name. I know Carol thought very highly of Mike. They talked often when he came in and stopped by the front office, where Carol sat.

Some of you may know Mike, or of him. Some not. Either way it's been a terrible blow to the company and one hell of a disappointing year.

Everything changes in time

I've made a few subtle changes to the blog recently. Nothing extravagant, because I want it to remain Carol's blog. I think I have the time stamp thing figured out. It wasn't rocket science... just had to poke around in the settings. Oddly enough, even though I'm now in the correct time zone, it's still a few minutes off. But we're getting closer!
I also changed the comments area. You no longer have to create an account to leave a comment. Anyone can share their $.02, so please do! I'd love to hear what others are thinking and it's also a flag for me that people are actually reading this stuff.
Last, but certainly not least, I added a photo. It's one that makes me smile and sometimes I need that to lighten the mood, bring me back to reality and keep me focused.

I have to admit that last night the photo had a reverse effect on me. Pardon my french, but I got pissed off when I looked at it and relived the day it was taken. It was two days before Carol's birthday and I stopped by for my visit and a birthday hug. It was the first time she showed me her bald head. When I got home that night I sent her an email, telling her how much I missed her. I still have that message. This was the P.S.-

p.s. You without hair, didn't even phase me. I thought it might be uneasy for you to share that (maybe it was??) or uneasy for me on the receiving end. But you were still Carol, and I just looked at your face and that was it. It's just @!$!*#@! hair. You're the same awesome lady.

Dun, dun dun dun dun....Go Pack Go!

Need I say more?? What a crazy stretch of games the Packers have had. Yesterday was ridiculous! I was a little unsure of how the game would pan out with the Vikings. They've kicked our butts in the past and being 7-1 at the time... I just figured we were due to fall soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing the Pack and I want them to succeed as much as the next guy/gal, but all good things do come to an end eventually. Thank God this Sunday wasn't that time.

My heart goes out to all of you Minnesotans. It's gotta be tough walking out of that one not even scoring one point. And especially to a rival like the Pack.

I think this would have been a tough game for Carol to watch. I thought of her as soon as I saw the schedule on my fridge. She would have worn her Viking shirt on Friday and taken all the crap in the office. And we would have given it. Today she would have smiled and acknowledged the game that Brett and his teammates played. She saw the positive in almost everything.

Let's all do the wave now......

BOO!

Happy Halloween, everyone. It's time for the kids to have fun and the dentists to benefit. I'm not a huge candy person, but I do find myself picking out all the Snickers and PB cups after I put my girls to bed. But, I won't eat the PB cups until after they've been in the freezer for a few hours. I'm weird that way. The last few years I've noticed a lot of sugar alternatives on the market. It started with the mini micro popcorn, pretzel bags, and now there are even tiny playdough cans. I guess that's all good and fun and the kids will take a treat of any kind, unless we're talking apples. (I do remember receiving one apple in my life. I think that was when it was actually safe for a child to be outside alone.)For those of you taking the kids trick/treating tonight, have fun! And get some pictures of those costumes. For those of you celebrating an adult Halloween, take er easy! It's only Wednesday and that could make for a long rest of the week. Been there.

And doesn't this couple look like Fergie and Justin Timberlake??

Time is on my side

(no it's not!)

Occasionally the time stamp of these postings is relevant, and other times it is not. I can remember a few situations where it may have either looked like there was a post before the event actually happened, or as if I was sitting there with my laptop at that exact moment. Of course we all know that isn't true, because I do have somewhat of a life.

Anyway...an fyi. It appears that postings are usually stamped a few hours earlier than when I post them. (The last one was 2 hrs and 13 minutes off.) What the? Is that important to anyone? Maybe, maybe not. I just don't want to cause any confusion. I know in the past I had looked at the time when Carol blogged, for various reasons. It's probably some silly time zone thing, so I'm going with that.

There's no I in team

What a day.

Turns out nobody cared whether we had a ticket to get in or not. And it wasn't chaos at all with the racing going on. I don't even think there were people actually watching those stock cars going around the track. It appeared to be just "us". And even though there weren't any problems finding the team, I'll apologize for telling you all to meet by the wall. The wall wasn't. Instead of having a survivor wall standing tall, they had paper draped over tables by the registration area. So, a few changes here and there, but it all worked out.

We had a mixture of almost-rain, clouds, strong winds and sun. By starting time (noon) the clouds were clearing out and blue skies were bright. It made me smile...blue-sky days were important to Carol.

The walk was brisk and hard to predict! One corner brought fierce, strong winds into our faces that encouraged everyone to zip up a little higher and gasp a "good grief!"....then the next corner would be hot and we'd start shedding layers. My face is bright pink and warm tonight. I can't decide if it's sunburn or windburn, but I'm figuring maybe a product of both.

The star of the day was Carol's dad, Dick. Unbelievable. The guy is a machine. He lead the pack when we started out, carrying Carol's walking stick and a bright pink sign announcing that we were Carol's Crusaders. It bore a beautiful picture of Carol. As the team broke up here and there I passed Dick at one point, but always kept a close eye on him by the sign. He caught up, said hi to me, and then marched forward. That was the last I saw of him! A few of us tried to track the pink sign over the next few miles and it got further and further away from us, meaning that Dick was really cruising! He finished four miles in one hour and three minutes! We were so proud of our leader. Not bad for a 75-76 year old. (I apologize for the uncertainty there, Dick, but your daughter, Sue, wasn't sure how old you are....so she thinks that's your age.) :o)

Dominic was dubbed the "Pied Piper". He walked with all the young cousins...another moment that made me smile.

The walk was good, as was the company. The team really rocked this year.
Bert, we sure missed you!

We had a nice dinner at Brian's house after. Food was plentiful, the kids ran crazy outside and everyone enjoyed the time together to catch up and chat. I can't speak for everyone, but I felt a warm feeling tonight. (Maybe it was my burnt face....kidding!!) It was a day of Carol's favorite people, all together in one place. That gives me a warm fuzzy.

A huge thanks to Sue for all the organizing and team announcing. It was a job well done that does not go unappreciated. Thank you to Brian for opening up his home to us and hosting the dinner gathering, not to forget the Stecker family that did all the setup work. Thanks to Deb for inviting, reminding and dinner planning. Thanks to every member of the team for taking time out of their busy lives to walk today and raise the pledge money that could make a difference. And last but not least, a big thank you to all of those that read this blog and donated to this wonderful cause.

I must also extend a hug to those that provided fabulous therapy for me today. There were many, but words from Jerry and Kate stuck out. You're all good people.

Who found the golden ticket??

A few people have been asking today if the entrance tickets were coming in the mail. I didn't get mine...until I got home today and saw it in the mailbox, finally. You should get a small white postcard that has a little map on it. That is your entrance ticket. If you do not get yours by tomorrow (Friday), and the walk is creeping up right upon us, there is a ticket that you can print off from the American Cancer Society. Sue asked me to post it on the blog here, but the stupid software won't let me post an attachment. Grrr. Please call me or Sue and we will email you the ticket to print out.

They also said that they'll have a list of all registered participants at the gate, so I don't think that anyone will get kicked to the curb without a ticket.

Some of you know that there will be stock car races on Saturday, also. That is NEW to everyone. Usually the track is all ours and it's a very pleasant day/experience. We have NO idea why they booked two events of this size on the same day, but we're thinking it may be a little chaotic. Lord knows there are plenty of people there just for the cancer walk. I can't imagine what a zoo this may turn into, but let's all hope they know what they are doing. There are races in the morning, a break for us to walk, and then races in the aft. Ugh.

It could be a little tougher finding everyone by "the wall" than we had expected. Please call me or Sue if you have trouble. Most of us know a few people on the team, so keep your eyes open and do your best to find Carol's Crusaders. Sue will have a TEAM sign...and most of us should know some of the Stecker or Breiter crew.

Dress in layers, be prepared for some rain (cross fingers) and better early than late.
And thanks to all for being a part of this great team!!!
I know that Carol is looking down, incredibly proud.

What to wear, what to wear

Sue has all of the T-shirts for next Saturday (for those of you that registered before 10/15). If you'd like to pick yours up before the walk, she will be in Sheboygan by mid-afternoon on Friday, the 26th. She will be staying at the Sleep Inn off of I-43, just north of Oostburg.
You may contact Sue at 608-516-6811.

The day of the walk we will be meeting by "the wall" between 11:00-11:30. I would recommend checking in and submitting your donations before then. I don't know the official name of the wall, but it is where the survivors and family members may sign and/or leave messages for loved ones. It's not far from the starting line. If you have any problems finding the team, call Sue's cell (above).

This is by far a record number of team members and dollars raised for Carol's Crusaders.
Let's make it a great day!!

We interrupt this program

Sue has an important message for all walkers. Please read:

Hello Carol's Crusaders! I picked up the t-shirts today from the ACS in Madison, and found out something that is a HUGE change from years past. If anyone you know is planning to walk or come along as a spectator, but is not registered, get them registered! Since there is a Road America stock car race that day, Road America is requiring that all walkers AND spectators have an entrance ticket. Tickets will be mailed a week before the event, but will only be mailed to registered participants. (By registering before the 19th, the $15.00 registration fee will go to the American Cancer Society, rather than to Road America the day of the walk.) This applies to my family, for example. I only registered myself, even though all 5 of us are walking. I have to go in and register the other 4 members of my family so that we can all get in on race day. If you have any questions about this or any other walk details, give me a shout.

When does it stop hurting?

Yeah, I know it's been a while since I've show my face around here. I guess at times I'm either not sure of what to say, or I'm afraid to really say it. Time is supposed to heal all wounds, but I'm starting to doubt that. The pain may have eased a bit since July, but I'm still having a hard time coping with Carol's absence. I know I'm not alone and have recently chatted with family members and friends that are unsure of how to deal with their anger and frustration, too. Nobody has any answers. We just all miss Carol so much!

The RA walk is something I look forward to each year. It's an emotional event for most and a celebration of life for others. It's going to be tough this time. I always looked for Carol and the team at our "meeting spot" before the event started. During the walk we all talk of our families and the events going on in our lives. Even when the weather was cold, rainy or close to miserable (which was often the case), it was such an invigorating walk that we'd tend to forget about the dreary day surrounding us.

The last two months I have been excited about the walk getting closer. I can't wait to see all the family and friends again! I was anticipating some hard moments, but overall I thought it was going to be a day for us to celebrate Carol and put our happy hats on. Now that it's nearing...I'm a little nervous. Of course I'm still looking forward to seeing everyone, but there's this anxiety setting in. Ugh.....

Show me the money

Walkers:
For those of you that have registered online, but are receiving offline donations, you may enter those online. It's just a way to have all your pledges acknowledged in one big pot. And it raises our personal and team goals.

To enter offline donations:

Go to “My Progress” when you log in. There is a link above the Gift Summary (on the right side) that says “Enter Gifts Received Offline”.

Just FYI.
Scream if you have any questions.

TGIalmostF

Looks like our team is growing! Right now there are 15 team members registered online. I know there are a few that may be registering manually, also. And a huge thanks to Brian who has offered to hold our celebration dinner after the walk. It's going to be a great day!

The new season of Survivor starts tonight. Carol and I always talked on Friday mornings. We'd pick our favorite "players", comment on the challenges, and laugh at some of the great moments. I think she even got Brian hooked on it. I'm going to be a little bummed tomorrow morn, not having my go-to gal there.

Well, here's to wishing everyone a great weekend... it looks like the weather will be cooperating to the fullest, so enjoy!

Calling all walkers

Here's a small portion of Carol's Crusaders walking in 2005. Carol and I are in front (yellow and burgundy jackets).

For all of you looking to join the 2007 team....

There are two ways you can register for the Road America cancer walk. Either online, or manually if you are unable to go that route. But, if you're reading this I would assume that you have internet access, right?

Here is the address: http://main.acsevents.org/MW_RoadAmerica

I can't remember every detail, but it's fairly intuitive, so I'll give you the basic step-by-step.

When you go to the American Cancer Society website there will be a button to Join a Team. Enter the team name (Carol's Crusaders) and hit the search. When you click on the team name (towards the bottom of the page) it'll show Sue Chambers as the team captain. You can then "Join".

There is a $15 registration fee, which you pay online. Then just keyin your name and all associated info that goes along with being you. There will be a few other questions, including your Tshirt size. Each year they give out long sleeve Ts.

When you're done registering you can go to the Participation Center to setup your own personal donor page. You don't have to do this part if you don't want to do the donations online. Sue and I will have forms available if you'd rather go the paper route. If you DO wish to setup the page, have some fun with it. You can be creative and write anything you want. Then you can email all your friends (through the page) and they can donate online. Again, all kinda cool. Here's what my page looks like.

Click here to visit KB's personal page.

Click here to view the team page for Carol's Crusaders

So, following this so far?

You can also view the team data...see who's all joined and how much money has been raised so far. It's all right at your fingertips.

If you'd like to register manually, please contact Sue at: sue9768@gmail.com and she'll be able to help you out. If you register online, but would like to write your donations on paper, you may contact me popper53@sbcglobal.net or Sue, and we will get the form to you.

If you have any questions, please contact either one of us and we'll be happy to help you out. If you are unable to walk, but would like to donate, let us know!

We're hoping for a good size team this year and many more to come.
Again, the date is Saturday, October 27th.
