While the talk about this will undoubtedly be along the lines of Angelina Jolie getting an Oscar, I am amazed at the number of people in my small town/city that showed up to see the movie this past weekend. I went to a 7:15 pm showing on Saturday night in a fairly conservative upstate NY… Continue reading A Mighty Heart
I have decided I truly have no life. Last night was the first Friday of summer. You would think, being single and all, that I would have wonderful plans. Well, I had a good night but I am sure the plans were not what people would expect of a single person. My youngest was at… Continue reading Truly No Life
What a blast!! About 200 7th and 8th grade band, chorus and orchestra students loaded on to four charter busses on Thurday and were off to Hershey Park for the day. I went as a chaperone and had a wonderful day with nine very active seventh grade boys. We rode coasters. We rode water rides.… Continue reading Hershey Park
This should make you laugh but some of you will understand – it is chancey, even with the calendar telling me that the official start of summer is Thursday, to say summer is here. I live where it may still get cold at night so hopefully, I don’t jinx anything. Summer is here. It is… Continue reading Summer’s Here!
The weather is suppose to be great so I am going to finish off the cleaning of my house that has been hit or miss all week and spend the rest of the weekend outside. I have a few organizational items to deal with in my room. Then, I want to put an exercise machine… Continue reading Weekend of House Stuff and Fun
Today is Flag Day! One, possibly both but I only have experience with one, of the elementary schools in our district has a huge Flag Day celebration. The entire school participates with the younger classes doing a march, or such, that is age-appropriate, while the older classes have fewer kids in them as most are… Continue reading “You’re a Grand Ol’ Flag”
I never understood the ins and outs of a refrigerator. I know that it keeps food inside it cold. I know that the outside is not cold. What I have never understood is what makes a fridge frost free? How do you defrost a fridge that is really overdue? Where do all those drips go… Continue reading What Work!
This weekend has not really held all that much to do on the calendar. My youngest is off on a scout camping trip and will bring home the prerequisite load and a half of laundry. My oldest at home is working all day today and was scheduled to work all day yesterday. The 16 year… Continue reading Exhausting Weekend!
It’s an annual event in June. Seems like there are lots of them but that explains my earlier post about the May and June calendars and lack of white space. Last night was the Maine-Endwell Music Department’s Night of Jazz. Every year since 2001, this event has taken place in June. The event features a… Continue reading Night of Jazz
Back in March, I wrote about planting schedules and my not-so-green thumb. I also wrote about trying to find the information on a local farm. Lo and behold, there was an article in the local Sunday paper insert USA Weekend that following week. It was all about community-supported agriculture. I was sooo excited and immediately… Continue reading CSA – or Community Supported Agriculture
