Brake For Breakfast - Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this flyer came in the mail, Thursday, with our local newspaper.   In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to raise awareness about early detection of breast cancer and the importance of mammography, many health care facilities and hospitals hold an annual "Brake for Breakfast. 
In our little town, all we do is drive up to the location, roll down our windows and nurses, secretaries, etc., are standing outside with goodies in hand. 

I went with a friend who also wanted to go to the grocery store, which doesn't open until 8:00am, so  we decided to leave at 7:45 so we could do "Break for Breakfast" then head on over to get groceries.  As we left this morning, it was lightly snowing but by the time we got to the grocery store, it was coming down in big flakes and at a fast pace.

It wasn't until we left the grocery story that the thought came to me that I should blog about this so we headed back to the medical center.  We drove up and I rolled down my window and told them all we wanted was a picture of them so I could put it on my blog.  They were happy to do so, all smiling and posing, even though the snow couldn't have been much fun.

We headed for home, the snow kept coming, and it was sticking to the roads..........

Besides handing out breakfast burritos, they also gave us a little pink tote, loaded with all kinds of fun stuff.

To begin with, I just dumped everything out and took a picture, with very little arranging.

But then I thought..........nah..........I really need to show EVERYTHING that was in our little totes.  The totes were small, but they really had them packed with a little bit of everything.  We received a tooth brush, window scraper, key ring, bandage holder, slap bracelet, flashlight, eyeglass cleaning rag, pink ribbon pin, granola bar, and a little women's breast care diary that contained some great information and an appointment tracker.

 

 

After I'd been home a little over 30 minutes, I decided to go out and take more pictures.  I love the snow as it's falling, leaving everything so pretty..............BUT, I do not like the cold that feels like it needs to tag along.
