Busy weekend

It has been all kinds of crazy-hectic... saturday was an all day crop to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.... Scrapbook Memories in Chelsea is awesome and donated the space and crop fees raising $500 for the Walk. They are also holding a raffle for a great prize for another month if anyone is interested... proceeds for that will also go to benefit the Avon Foundation and breast cancer. There was a lot of prepping for the event--but in the end, it was worth it. Several women came up and told me their stories about survival, family loss; there were several emotional hours.

Today, was a beautiful day after the brief thunderstorms, and Jake was able to come and go from the balcony to the apartment at his leisure. He sleeps now, a happy kitty. The sunshine was good for all of us. I finally made the decision/leap to fill the application to belong to the community garden program. Come May I will be gardening my little half plot of land and volunteering with the community gardening group. Obviously, I will need a straw hat.

I also managed to hit the rec center today... got in a great workout and then went grocery shopping. I remember when I was a kid, Friday was the day everyone went grocery shopping, as such, I've ignored Friday's in the grocery for forever... but it dawned on me this afternoon that Sunday afternoon really is the bad day for shopping. And it only took me months of Sunday afternoons of standing on line in Kroger to figure it out.

And now, it is time to shut down the laptop for the evening and start winding down toward another Monday.
