October Celebrations

 Inspired By My Children

 Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. In recognition of this serious disease, my Bunco group put on a "Save the Ta Ta's" bunco last week. I was fortunate to obtain some promotional items from the base clinic and was able to pass out self breast exam cards that hang in the shower, along with pens, and informational dvds. The winnings from the night were all donated to breast cancer research, $259 in all! Way to go awesome bunco ladies! We had "boobie" cupcakes and cakes, special breast cancer awareness wine, and yes ma that is your fantastic handmade boob cup that contained the flatware! We all signed a squishy boob pillow for our dear friend who is leaving us next month for a new assignment. Miss you already Jerrie. We had a great time and it was also for a good cause.

Here in Germany it is also Oktoberfest! Jim and I went to one of the biggest celebrations around in Haaren. It's always nice to get a night out, especially if it's in a ridiculously large tent crammed full of people in costumes, drinking mugs of beer and eating delicious soft pretzels while screaming to be heard over the band. Livin the sweet life here in Germany...

 The pictures do not do it justice. It was a huge tent!
