Walk for Farm Animals!!!!

I'm so frustrated!  I've been using our laptop because our office is out of sorts do to painting, etc. and I now can't seem to download my pic's.  Arghhhhhhhhhhhh.  I'll have to wait until Keaton gets home so he can help me.  I'll be brief this post and explain what we've been doing and why I haven't posted lately.

Dave and I have been busy redoing our office/music/guestroom.  We are also refinishing a piano that was given to us from a neighbor who decided years ago to paint it a white shabby chic style.  It looks like she painted rather quickly and with a flat paint which doesn't clean very well.  We are trying to refinish as quickly as possible so we can bring it back inside the house and so Keaton can get back to playing. I'll post the finished piano when done. Lastly we are working on our yard.  So lots of house stuff!

This past weekend, out here in California, we got hit with a heat wave. We may be under 100 today, yay!  At least the nights are down in the 50's which is good because we don't have air conditioning.

Before I continue my day....Have you signed up the Walk for Farm Animals, Farm Sanctuary Walk?  Tomorrow morning I will be walking for Farm Animals with a good friend of mine. If you don't have a walk near you, you can make a donation on line or go to my fundraising page, First Giving which located on the top right of my page here.  It should be a really good turn out this year I'm really looking forward to it and then afterwards we will all be eating at Mary's Secret Garden, which is a great little vegan restaurant right across the street from where we will start our walk.  I'll post all about it afterwards.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Update on Farm Walk and stuff!

Cool T-shirt eh? This was the awesome shirt we got this year for Farm Walk 2009 designed by Herbivore Clothing . FYI, you can still donate to the farm walk, they are keeping it open for a couple more weeks because there are still walks going on around the country.

Quick post regarding The Farm Walk in Ventura. The weather was perfect! The guest speaker who also did the walk with us was Julieanna Hever, she is a fitness and plant based nutritionist, her website is http://www.toyourhealthnutrition.com/. She is awesome, full of life and energy! My son and I met some new people and we all had a great time. There were people of every age from small ones to seniors. It's really nice speaking to like minded people and sharing stories. What a positive and peaceful vibe that is spread and you walk away from it feeling really good.

I'm going to try to get some photo's to post from Melissa who hosted the Farm Walk this year. I downloaded the pic's from my camera but we've been having computer issues and my husband was working on the computer. Sooooooooo he didn't save the pictures so I have none.

Walk for Farm Animals-Oct. 3rd! Donate or walk!

This Saturday, Oct. 3rd in Ventura, my son and I, along with a couple of my girlfriends, are going to Walk for Farm Animals! One year we had my husband walking with us but he has to work this weekend. Last year we were unable to join in the walk because of our move but we still were able to make a donation online. If you get a chance to do a walk, it's a great experience and if there isn't a walk near you, another great way to help out is to donate. You can click on the widget for Firstgiving on the upper right corner of this blog page and make a donation.
The donations help the Farm Sanctuary give care to the saved animals and also to spread the word about the cruelty to animals.
