    Are you aware…

    that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month?  Well, it IS in case you were confused.  About a week ago, I  added a new badge to my sidebar stating as such…

    Breast cancer has special meaning in my life…  My mom is a survivor.  I was actually born AFTER her radical mastectomy…even more shocking was that I was born within that critical 5 year window.  My parents met AFTER mom’s cancer.

    All that being said…  Be aware of your “girls”…know your body… something seems odd…get it checked!!
    I had my first mammogram at age 26 as a baseline… Nothing to be afraid of. Take charge of your health, of your body…it’s the only one you have!

    I will now step down off my soap box and return you to your regularly scheduled programing…thank you and good night.

    This is a first….

    On Thursday I decide it’s time to bring in my plants for the winter…not realizing the very next day it will be 88°F.

    So yesterday afternoon I come around the corner in the family room and find this….
    It’s a tree frog!!
    And it has adhered itself to the INSIDE of my brand new sliding glass door!!!! Are you kidding me!?!?
    Apparently I moved his home indoors without an eviction notice.

    I gently evicted him with the help of a plastic cup and spoon…wishing him a happy life somewhere in the OUTDOORS.
