Dear Reader:

It is here…finally…October 17…my seventh Race for the Cure! Who would have thought it seven years ago? I know who…God!

Yesterday was a day of running around….first to Mt. Pleasant to leave some items for the brunch Mandy and John are giving after the race….then distributing t-shirts to the Summerville crowd…(Thanks Tommy for picking these up!) …and finishing up some last minute odds and ends.

Here are some pictures that depict the pre-race preparations!

Then onto Lassie and Doodle’s house to drop off the shirts. I always have to take photos of Doodle’s wreaths and decorations.

Then some last-minute sprucing up for my “guests” at the B&B…made some homemade soup for the cool evening and (Edwards) key lime pie for dessert!  (Love that “Edward!”)

Then a little sprucing up in our guests’ bedrooms & living room

I am hoping some moon flowers will bloom for my guests…this is what I found yesterday morning by the fence…………..

When we arrive this morning…without fail…the moon will be a crescent moon…it’s a “southern thing” welcoming us back to Daniel Island and to hope.

So until tomorrow….God bless you all for all you do! “No one fights alone”

When I was thanking Bruce and Marcia (Mollie’s parents) Thursday evening for their contribution to the Race for the Cure...I asked Marcia about “my” maple tree. Marcia has the most beautiful maple tree in the world….I have to give it up to Yankees…New England is mind-blowing-ly beautiful in autumn and their maples take your breath away….see!

The list of name honoring friends and loved ones fighting breast cancer and other types of cancer. Thank you for your names.

5:30 A.M….we brought out the toothpicks to pry our eyes open and we are off!

See you soon!

We Race for the Future!  GUESS WHAT…JUST CHECKED TO SEE THE TEAM PROGRESS AND WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100 %…….THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
