This photo has absolutely nothing to do with Veterans Day. I tried to think of a way to tie them together, but I got nothin’. I didn’t want to bypass this holiday without saying thank you to all the veterans for serving our country and protecting us. And I might just say thank you tomorrow too, so you don’t feel like you’re only appreciated one day of the year.

Day 313: From Nail Biting to Nail Painting
Now that our big move is over, I can finally de-stress. I’m really looking forward to this Saturday’s Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Hope Gala. I figured it was time to get rid of my blue toenail polish and replace it with a classier red. (If you want to attend, tickets are still available! The event is at Union Station and includes dinner, drinks, silent & live auction, raffle, and music – all for just $75.)
Day 312: My Trek is Crying
We’ve only been in our new place for a few days, so we haven’t found a good place to store our bikes yet. It makes me cringe to think that my beautiful bike spent the last two days outside in the rain. I need to clean and oil the chain and find a protected spot for it pronto!
Days 307-311: The Start Of A New Chapter
Whew … I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The move to our new apartment is complete; now we just have to finish unpacking. Here are photos from the last several days throughout the move.
Day 306: Counting Down the Hours
We’re now less than 24-hours away from moving. I cannot say I’m excited about the move, but I am excited to be finished! Our place is a wreck. I’ll be MIA for a few days until we get settled, but I’ll continue taking photos throughout the move.
Day 305: Go Chiefs?
I may not be a huge football fan, but I am proud of the Kansas City Chiefs after their Monday Night Football win against the Chargers, ranking them first in the division. I think I got that right. I guess someone (or lots of someones) was even more excited than I was – this downtown building was lit up in Chiefs colors Tuesday morning.
Days 303-304: Tricks & Treats
Since we don’t get trick-or-treaters at our apartment, we were happy to help out with Trunk or Treat at our church yesterday evening. I loved seeing all the creative costumes. And today our American Cancer Society office was transformed into the American Zombie Society for a Halloween luncheon. We ate brains (a potato bar) and learned all about how to survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
(FYI: Saturday’s photos will be posted in a day or two – I have about 250 photos from Making Strides Against Breast Cancer to sort through!)
Day 301: A Color Debate
This is the Broadway Bridge on the north side of downtown. I know the colored lights have been added this month to promote Breast Cancer Awareness month, but don’t you think they look more like Halloween lights?
Day 300: A week full of surprises
When we got home yesterday evening, we had package of homemade Halloween cookies waiting for us in the mailbox. And they were still in once piece! Thanks to my thoughtful family for including us when we couldn’t be there for the cookie decorating. Have I mentioned how much I love this time of year? 🙂
Day 299: Blustry Day
Yesterday started out unseasonably warm, but you could tell a cold front was moving in just by looking at the trees whipping in the wind.
