Seattle Bound
The Breast Cancer 3-Day just announced its 2006 schedule, and there will be a walk in Seattle! (I've been keeping my fingers crossed since I called the coaches earlier this year; they weren't sure they were going to have another Seattle walk.) I've already registered to walk, and sent the info on to my sisters, one of whom has promised to crew ( Read more... ) -

Minor setback
Well, The Peacock won't be wearing snazzy new tights after all. (He'll be wearing tights, just not new ones.) Last night, when I was finishing them up, I somehow caught a fold of fabric in the crotch seam. Agggghhhh. That's the problem with serging -- mistakes like that are irreversible. I feel so stupid! And, of course, since these things ( Read more... ) -
PennRen Bound
It seems as though my negligence in not buying our PennRen tickets in advance has worked out to our advantage - Burger King has 2-for-1 coupons, so we just need to stop on our way and get one (saving us $24.95 rather than $10.00). Woohoo! I’ve called the Burger King on I-83 closest to the Turnpike, and they say they have them. I’ll keep my ( Read more... ) -

Race for the Cure
I ran/walked the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday, and had so much fun! This was my fourth Race for the Cure, and by all means the best. For one thing, it wasn't raining! For another, I kept running into people I knew -- a lady with whom I've done many 3-Day training walks, another who was on Avon Gear & Tent crew with me last year, ( Read more... ) -
I've been married how long???
On Tuesday, my husband and I celebrated a special anniversary. We've been married for 25 years. Twenty. Five. Years. More than half our lifetimes. I'm still shaking my head at the sheer wonder of it all -- how fast those years have flown by. How many good times we've shared, how many tears, how much we've grown together. How wonderful it is ( Read more... ) -
Great Weekend!
The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer was incredible. It rained. It was cold. It was muddy. It was windy. And yet, I never heard a complaint. Seventeen hundred walkers, and I never heard a bitch about the puddles in the camp site or the leaky tents; I saw nothing but smiles and cheerfulness. I’ve just never seen anything like it. Those walkers slogged ( Read more... ) -
Weeds
Ground Ivy is the bane of my existence.
I spent both Saturday and Sunday weeding and mulching the front and back flower beds. (Of course, today my legs and butt are so sore I can hardly get up from my chair...) The front of the house looks great; I have about a quarter of the large flower bed in back left to finish. It's funny how the different ( Read more... )
