WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - FOR OURSELVES AND FOR OTHERS

George has surprised me with a Fall Foliage Getaway trip next week for my birthday. Today I did a little shopping to pick up a few Fall pieces to take. My Mom and Sherry are coming on Friday to house-sit and keep Miss Daisy so I want to have most of my packing finished. You KNOW when they are here we spend all of our time playing games and cooking. I can't wait to spend a few days with them before we leave next Wednesday.
~~~~~~



Today is the 17th...don't forget to do your self breast exam. It's important! It CAN save your life.

Also, please...pretty please...click the breast cancer button on my sidebar every time you visit. Together we CAN make a difference ~~~~~~

I'm excited to have formed Team Davenport for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Saturday, October 25th.

George and I did the walk last year along with some of our friends and it was so much fun. Plus, it's for a very good cause. After I was diagnosed in 2006 and then having another scare in June of this year, I KNOW how important it is for us to win against this devastating disease.

You can click here or here for more information or you can click on the widget on my sidebar. My goal is to raise $1,200.00. So far I have raised $900.00. I actually hope to increase my goal.

Please pray our walk is successful.

I will pray that your walk is successful. I attended the funeral yesterday of a Great lady I have know since I was a child. She lost her battle with cancer this past weekend. She had made the difference in so many lives having taught school for 43 years. She will be missed.

I know that you will really enjoy a Fall Foliage trip please take lots of pictures for us to see. ...M...

Hi Kat,

Sounds like you will have so much fun. Take lots of photos, I love photos of the Fall. My sister is doing a walk for brest cancer also. I think it's a great cause.

What a wonderful birthday surprise. It's hard to even think about fall foliage since it's still so darn hot here. Can't wait to read all about it.
