Toasting Barbara (Winos and Foodies)

July 12, 2009 | Filed Under Fellow Bloggers, Food Blogging Events, Winos and Foodies 

  

Several months ago friend Barbara of Winos and Foodies underwent chemotherapy.  She’s finally completed her treatment.  Yay! *Paz jumping for joy*

In case you don’t know Barbara, she writes an enticing blog from Australia and is the founder of A Taste of Yellow, a food blogging event, which supports LiveSTRONG Day with posts that support folks fighting cancer, celebrating with those who have won the fight, as well as remembering loved ones no longer with us.

Bron of Bron Marshall, Jen of Use Real Butter  and Helen  of Tartelette have planned a virtual "toast" to Barbara for her accomplishment.  Earlier, when she’d started her treatment, we’d sent her virtual "hugs". 

I’d love to toast Barbara with a wonderful champagne or fine wine but I don’t really drink and am totally ignorant about drinks from which to choose (I’ll gladly take suggestions for the future). 

I’d toast with Coke (my fave, LOL!) but I’m out of that at the moment. 

So, here’s some healthy H²O, with which to make my toast:  To your good health, Victorious Barbara; glad you’ve successfully completed your treatment; continue feeling better.

Much love from New York,

Paz

    Coke’s good too Paz. It’s one of the drinks that helped me get through chemo. I couldn’t take the taste of water so whenever I was thirsty I drank Coke. Thank you for celebrating with me Paz.Cheers and hugs.

    Hi Bron: So glad you’d join in with water or Coke. :razz: Thanks for initiating this toast to Barbara, along with the other ladies. Wonderful idea.

    Hi Barbara: So interesting that Coke did the trick when you couldn’t drink water. Yay! :razz:

    Hi Kat: Whoo hoo! :wink:

    Paz (going for more Coke and water)

    So sweet of you :) And there really is nothing so amazing as a nice cold glass of water - especially after a jaunt in the mountains! Cheers.
