Day 141 - May 21, 2010

Every year a whole group of us walk at the Relay for Life in Newington which helps raise funds for cancer research. Being as though cancer has definitely struck close to home, this is a very dear cause to me. Our team is called Jane's Rangers, a team originally started in honor of Jane Ranger, but now we walk in memory of her. I was struck by how many of the luminaries last night said "In Memory of..." There has to be a way to find a cure for cancer - too many people still fall victim to this horrible disease. I am thankful everyday that my dad was lucky and his prostate cancer was found very very early, however others are not so lucky. Please keep people in your thoughts as they fight hard to beat cancer, and those who work tirelessly to find a cure.

Until Tomorrow,

Day 72 - March 13, 2010

So on a St. Patrick's themed day, we end up getting dinner at a local Greek restaurant! Nothing like souvlaki to say Erin Go Braugh! There's a new(ish) restaurant in Newington on the Berlin Turnpike called Cavos - and they specialize in Greek food. Now, being Greek, that's nothing too special for me. But if you are looking for a good place that has authentic Greek cuisine, and can't make it over to my parents house - try Cavos! Everything that we had there tonight was very good! And if you're in the company of folks who may not like Greek food - they do have classic favorites like Chicken Parm and Pizza! Just looking to plug a local business who definitely impressed me this evening!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 69 - March 10, 2010

Today was my first Zumba class - if you've never been to one, go find one and try it out! Loads of fun! Afterwards, Heather and I went to our favorite coffee place in Newington, Starbucks, and ordered some refreshing passion tea. I ordered a big one because I was thirsty. I had it in mind to post a different picture today - but as we were sitting at the table outside enjoying the weather, the sun setting in the distance cast a neat light through the liquid. I know I've done a few Starbucks photos before, but hey - I spent a few days a week there! Anyways, I enjoyed the drink, and thought that you might enjoy seeing the color and light through the tea like I did this afternoon :)

Until Tomorrow,

Athina
