Racing for the Cure

This past weekend I took part in the 19th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Detroit. It was such an inspirational and moving experience. It was also unexpectedly fun, too! I plan to make this event part of my yearly routine from here on out. Here are some photos I took of the events that day:

Part of the fun was seeing all of the signs people made ~ talk about creativity! Although breast cancer is a serious subject, it was nice to see that some humor made it into the day.

There were many different bands playing along the route, which was very cool! I actually wanted to stop and listen to them. It made for a very festive environment. Here you see the runners passing us walkers on their way back to the finish line. And how could you not laugh at this t-shirt?!?

Or this????

Here are my friends and I with Andrew Humphreys, who is a meteorologist at one of the local TV news stations. He was so kind to stop and pose for a photo with us.

Thanks to all who made a purchase from my shop during the month of May. Because of your support, I will be able to make a nice donation to the Komen Foundation.

Checking In

Hello everyone! I've been away for a while, I know. It seems I have been extra busy and fell off the blogging bandwagon :) I will try not to go MIA again, for a while, anyway. I hope you're doing well and enjoying Spring. We all know how much I love this time of year, especially seeing all the flowers in my yard "spring" up. I am sure I've probably bored you all to tears in the past with tours of my little garden, so I will try not to repeat. However, I could not resist posting this picture that I took recently. This lilac has the most intoxicating fragrance! I wish you could smell it through the computer. One day I noticed there were at least half a dozen butterflies, like the one pictured, resting on it. Do you think they were getting drunk??
