fannie & millie .: handcrafted goodness

I’m back.

Summer is over, sadly enough, and I’m back at the rest of my life. Things got a little out of hand at the end there with too much riding in preparation for Cycle Oregon, root canals, family trips, and on & on with the excuses…The mini hiatus turned out to be a major break from blogging, etc., but I feel refreshed and inspired.

CycleOregon was fantastic fun, as alway. I posted lots and lots of photos and wrote the whole thing up on flickr. Please check it out if you’ve ever wondered what CycleOregon might be about. I took quite a few photos, but realize that the longest, hardest days are not documented as well as the shorter days.

The Livestrong Challenge was also a success. Thank you so much to everyone who donated! Our team raised $3,830.00  $3,930.00 for a very worthy cause. Tim Schauer was our amazing and motivated #1 fundraiser. He raised $2,065.00 $2,165.00 while selling his house, buying a house and moving! He’s an amazing guy and a great friend.

This was my fledgling year as team captain and I’m already making plans to do it bigger and better next year. I seriously want our team to raise at least $10,000.00 for the LAF.

Here are two photos from our wet, wonderful, hypothermia inducing day:

- we’re indoors in this second photo - the camera is just all steamed up :-0

Well, that sums it up. I’ll see you again soon - really!
