Did you know there’s a “dog star”?

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

For several weeks now, I have heard countless people refer to this sweltering heat wave we're enduring as the "dog days of summer".   Now, I've been around the block a few times and I was taught by my elders that the "dog days" just meant it was so doggone hot and ...

Another Julianne Story

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Brace yourself.    I think this is probably the best one yet! For those of you whom I don't know very well, my youngest child keeps us laughing (and everyone else, too) constantly.    It seems that if something is going to happen . . . it happens to her! Today I took her ...

This is my new motto when attending important meetings.  I repeat it over and over in my head. These are wise words.  Words that will keep you in good stead and help you gain respect with your collegues.  If you follow my motto, you will know when it is time to stop repeating ...

My Favorite School Supply

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

As much as I loved summer, I was giddy with excitement when the new school year rolled around. It would be kicked off by a letter we got in the mail from our new teacher, introducing herself/himself (my 1st grade teacher was my only male teacher until high school) and ...

Lilah’s Stay at the Comfort Inn

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

First, let me say, I have been away too long.  Between the death of my brother, Tom, and my niece, Candace, I've just not had the will or the desire to blog.  Even now as I sit here, I wonder what in the world happened to my spring and how ...

Lovin’ Daytona Beach!

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

The 9 hour drive was so worth it!    I know most "Hoover-ites" love the Destin location for their perfect beach vacation.    Let me just tell you . . . Daytona wins hands-down!    At least for me, anyway!     The Ice Cream Man drives back and forth on the beach.     You're sure ...

Sad Days

Friday, July 18th, 2008

I hate sad days.    Don't you?    Why can't everyday be happy and full of sunshine?   So many times, though, sad days are what we need to realize how good we have it.   How fortunate we are to be with loved ones.    How money is definitely not everything.    I had a good ...

3-Year-Old Blues

Hey everyone!    This is my first time to blog so I'm just a little excited!     I've always considered myself extremely computer literate.    I mean really . . . I used to teach people how to use software for crying out loud!     However, when I logged on tonight, I found out that ...

As you have been reading, July has been a crazy month for all of us. After a whirlwind trip to New York and a week getting ready to send 53 people off to camp Saturday, I was ready for a relaxing weekend. I chose a scrapbooking retreat. Ahhhhh, sounds relaxing ...
