As Grandpa Selig (or Zelig according to Woody Allen) used to say, "da buds are budzing"


Things are beginning to sprout in my garden. They may just be babies, but each one looks unique to me. Because I wanted to grow specific varieties that weren't available locally, Mike & I started them from seed. A precarious plan at best. Some were destroyed by hungry insects and others couldn't swim through the sudden down pours. But a few survivors made it. Can you ID the lettuce, spinach, tomatoes and cucumbers? Hopefully it will be easier when they're loaded with fruit (she said with fingers crossed) ;-)

















Talking about survivors, this Saturday morning is the annual Making Strides to End Breast Cancer Walk at 9am at the Polo Grounds in Lakewood Ranch. That means that I won't be baking Saturday. So just for this week, all pick-ups must be on Friday from 11-4pm or beyond. Just let me know what time works best for you.



My breast cancer was discovered during a routine mammogram. I had mammos for years and they had always been "normal". Although this cancer was aggressive, it was detected before spreading throughout my body.  My life was suddenly turned upside down, having to deal with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation & years of hormonal treatment. I lost every hair on my body. Because of my incredibly loving family I became strong, positive & proactive. And lucky, because all of the treatments worked. As a grateful & proud 16 year breast cancer survivor, I will be walking this Saturday with Sharon Carlson's team "Oinking For A Cure".  oink, oink



While I temporarily inhabit the building that housed my former BONNI BAKES BAKERY/CAFE at 930 12th St West, to sell my personal collections & possessions, I'm ready to start seriously looking for a new tenant. Because of my 14 year history in the Village of the Arts as the first full-time new business (Sept 1999) and only new home construction (TreeHouse 2006), I prefer to rent the building to someone who will join our creative community by establishing a studio, gallery or food related business. Since 1999 this charming 1910 building has conformed to Dept of Agriculture standards as a "bakery/cafe", but could also be home to a resident artist. I'm considering many options including separately renting the 2 main rooms w/private locked entrances and keeping the commercial kitchen for myself. If you know anyone who is interested, please have them call me at (941) 746-6647.  Availability sometime in December.

Along these same lines, there will be a free informational meeting Monday Oct 21 from 6-7pm for people interested in owning a business and/or living in the Village of the Arts. Contact Carrie Whaley at 941-747-9397 for more info.

  14. After being in relationship with MIKE for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by reffering him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email:shakesspear23@yahoo.com OR shakesspear23@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU SIR HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS:shakesspear23@yahoo.com OR shakesspear23@gmail.com ...CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
