PInk Party!

A friend of ours had breast cancer and is now making her way through chemo treatments. A bunch of us decided to throw her a PINK party! last night was finally the night. We had lots of pink foods, including delicious strawberry daquairis. (however you spell that!) We hung out and had a great time. Cheryl was happy and content.. but was not feeling the best. I was in charge of getting a group picture. HA! that meant that I had to learn how to use the tripod and the timer on my camera! The first picture, I didnt make it back into the group in time, the second I had plenty of time, and the third.. Ha! I was lucky I made it! we had a great time and I know that Cheryl really appreciates all of our love and support. this pic is the third one, which I barely made it back for!! a few of the girls really dressed up.. like our friend Renee, who came in her "kick cancers butt" costume! I really have the most awesome friends.. they are all nuts!

IN other news.. Im feeling like Fall is really upon us. I'm noticing lots of trees starting to change.. its getting darker earlier in the evening and the sun is coming up later in the mornings! Today is pretty dreary, but I do love the crisp freshness of fall. I asked my daughter this morning if she thought it was too early to get halloween decorations out.. she said she was kind of surprised that they werent out already! then she thought that the mess from creating halloweenies that is all over the kitchen table was probably enough halloween for now! hmmph! shes probably right. but Ive decided that I can get a few pieces out at a time.. so that means, its about time to put away summery things.. beachy things.. I figure I've probably had the last of my actually on the beach beach days.. but there are still plenty of days left for being on the lake!! In fact.. I think I'm going to plan a fall gathering to be held at "MY" new spot on the lake!

so speaking of fall and halloween hows all my swapper buddies doing on their halloween dolls? I'm almost done with mine. Please please please dont forget to take pics and email them to me!!! You still have a whole month to finish them. soo.. have fun!
