Race

Saturday morning I did a race for the local hospital Cancer Center. It was not a timed event, but I did pretty good, anyway. I ran with my sister and my mom walked it. My dad took care of the triplets while we were running.

5K's are great exercise and great fun and you get to see a lot of people that are usual runners and meet new people who have never done it before....

Anyway, the next scheduled race is Thanksgiving morning! I need to start training again..

Naples

Four women on vacation in Naples, Florida for a girls weekend. It was the best vacation that I have had in years (sorry, my wonderful husband - :)) It was PERFECT....we kept saying the word Perfect...I know, I know, nothing is perfect but God, but let me tell you, HE made it perfect for us.

I could not have asked for better weather, better company, better friends, better anything.....It was wonderful, the stars aligned and so did the moon and the sun.....

I love you guys (Donna, Cindy and Theresa).....I could not have picked a better place or chain of events with you guys.

Thank you for making Girls Weekend absolutely FABULOUS...

Vacation

As I post this, I am in Naples, Florida. Three of my best friends and myself headed down south for some much needed R & R. I will post pictures when I get back in a few days.... Don't you just love the Pier.

CSA

CSA - Community Supported Agriculture. I have always been a farm girl at heart, and now I have finally started my first CSA program. I get my first box next Wednesday (October 7th). I am doing the 10 week Fall/Winter program. If I really like it, I'll do it again next year in the spring.

This all came about as I was buying from the farmer's market a few weeks ago. I saw the flyer for CSA and became curious and started looking into it more. I love the idea....Farm fresh. Although, I have my own eggs everyday and my dad has a spectacular garden, I have been relying on the Farmers market and the Grocery store (I know, I know - Bad Maria). So this opporunity came up and I ran with it.

I can't wait to show off my first box...I have no idea what it will contain, but I'll post pictures....

Apple Picking

I went apple picking last weekend with my sister, my brother-in-law and the triplets (the trips). We thought it would take a long time, but we were done in no time flat. They had Honeycrisps, our favorite, so that is all we picked and we had a lot of fun...

And of course the trips had a ball eating them.
