OUR SATURDAY

I feel totally "out of the loop". I've had no time to spend on the computer, which means no blog reading. I've been busy getting ready for our trip next week.

Mom and Sherry arrived yesterday afternoon. It's so nice to have them here. Naturally, we're doing our "normal" things, which means games, lots of eating, glasses of wine and plenty of laughter.


Today we drove to Pier Park to do some shopping and had lunch at Five Guys. Yummy burgers and fries. They had some malt vinegar for the fries right by the ketsup and as soon as I took the first bite it instantly took me back to my childhood when we would go to the fair and have fries - served in a giant paper cone and then sprinkled with malt vinegar. Yum!

Yippee! I reached my goal of $1,200.00!


Actually, I have raised $1,345.00 (so far) for the 2008 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Emerald Coast of Florida. I have decided to raise my goal to $1,750.00. Maybe I'll get to raise it again soon since the walk isn't until October 25th. I have had lots of friends, including many of you, that have donated to the cause and some are actually planning to walk with us. Yeah!

This is a photo from last year. Before the walk began, all of the breast cancer survivors stood under a pink balloon arch. I remember the feeling of standing there among these brave women of different ages who were "fighting the good fight" against breast cancer.
Thank you Lord for another year!
~~~~~~
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I had the pleasure of eating there back in March when we were in PCB for a car show. YUMMY! I hope we can eat there again next year. Such a neat shopping center too.

I thought I was the only one who put malt vinegar on my fries. When we have fish & chips it's the fries I put the malt vinegar on, not the fish. I love fried potatoes at home. I always soak them with pepper sauce which reminds me of malt vinegar. So good.
Have a great week. I know I don't have to tell you that because I know you will. Will be anxious to read your blog when you return.
Hugs,
Charlotte
