Ruby Tuesday ~ Long Island Sound

I took this photo after the 4th annual Wheel-a-Thon to benefit the Center for Disability Rights where Ralph works. The West Haven, Ct. beach is right down the street from the Center's office. It's a perfect spot for walking, jogging, biking, roller-blading and of course, wheelchair riding!

The route for the event was 1-1/2 miles. Ralph participated by working indoors with the laptop recording pledges, keeping track of the participants and the like. We're not sure of the final total but the director said he believed they raised more than $12,000 yesterday. Not bad for a holiday weekend. They may hold it on a different weekend next year to get more people involved.

I arrived there after church to be with Ralph. By then the morning event was all over, but I got there just in time for a "free lunch." What timing I have! tee hee.

The patriotic banners along the beach walk caught my eye...I saw red, I guess you could say, and knew it would be a perfect shot for this week's Ruby Tuesday post.

Below is one of the totes our "free" lunches were packed in. I was happy to come home with two of them. I know they'll come in handy.

P.S. Here's a picture of Ralph I surreptitiously snapped Sunday. He gave me permission to post it. ;-)
