September was and is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Well, I had planned to do this post the

 first part of September, but I guess 

better late than never! 

 September is Ovarian Cancer

 Awareness Month (among other

 awareness causes)and in honor

 of my friend Marie and her 10 year

 anniversary of surviving ovarian cancer

 I thought I would share 2 past posts  

I did in 2011.

She is still going strong !  

 Love you Marie !

The secret of health for 
both mind and body is not
 to mourn for the past, worry
 about the future, 
or anticipate troubles,
 but to live
 in the present moment
 wisely and earnestly.
--- Buddha

Well, the deer are still around and 

ate my new pansies!  I moved them

 closer to the house thinking they

 would be ok until I got them planted,

 but I was wrong!  Little rascals. 

 Now we really need to do something

 to block them off the patio area and 

have it look nice too.  :o)

And I need to pull my buttons during

 the day instead of night.  I'll have to

 re-do this bracelet and change the 

blue button to black!

I love this quote.

Bonfire and yummy salad

Saturday night we had a nice bonfire.

We ate a grilled chicken salad with 

pears, walnuts, sungold tomatoes

 and gorgonzola cheese, topped 

with  a balsamic vinaigrette

by the fire and moonlight.

The weather was perfect.

Even Petey Pumpkin thought so!

 We are still having our giveaway.
