Okay, so I have finally decided that the administration at Maine-Endwell really doesn’t have a clue what is up. If I were there and going to give the Press & Sun-Bulletin a summer article on the upcoming building plan, it would not be about purchasing land for additional sports fields. All concerns that came up… Continue reading School Building Plan
I admit I am not the “typical” US sports fan. Number one – I am female. Sports in the US is basically a male bastion. I can live without home run derbies, college bowl championship series – although I love college football, and super bowls. A holdover from my college days as a marketing major… Continue reading What a Weekend for Sports!!
As I was reading the daily musings in Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Simple Abundance, I thought about comfort food and the college student. Today’s reading discussing five types of food – haute cuisine, lean cuisine, comfort food, soul food and nature food (can’t really remember #5 without getting my book from its reading location). How does… Continue reading Comfort Food – Simple Abundance for July 7
Okay, so I knew the time would come. I will have four college students in the family next year. I was bound to have one, sooner or later, that would live off campus. Due to transferring universities and there being no on campus housing left, my 19 year old son is going to be living… Continue reading Menu Planning and the College Male
I know it would be The West Wing. I realize the show is off the air now but I always watched with a “wow, I want to do that job” attitude. I thought the show was great – all aspects of it. I don’t know if I could stand in front of a room full… Continue reading If I were stuck on a TV show for 24 hours…
Well, no car and no on campus housing. What’s a mother to do? I think I may have finally found the solution to Andy’s lack of housing in his transfer from Alfred University to the University of Buffalo. I have been checking The Buffalo News on Mondays and looking at the various boards the university… Continue reading Campus Housing and the Transfer Student
I sit in budget hearings and board meetings and hear people say things to the affect that schools don’t need “that” – sports, clubs, music programs, theatre productions, academic competition teams. Schools just need to educate our children, need to teach them math, reading, writing. This is not the case anymore. Anyone who has had… Continue reading Do the People out there Understand?
Well, another milestone in Susan’s senior year. Her prom was on Friday. I am still recovering. The high school has a group of parents that form what is called the After Prom Party Committee. We put on an after prom party that is totally alcohol free and is a lot of work. My body is… Continue reading Another Susan Milestone
Well, I have always loved summer. It is easier to exercise as it is warmer out. Walking in the snow, while doable, is not as convenient. I like to eat less and exercise more. Having at least two of my kids wanting or having to work out this summer is going to be great. Elise… Continue reading Summer Approaches
The restaurant we ate at on competition night was wonderful. It was within walking distance of the hotel. It was full of all kinds of local people – prom attendees eating prior, retirees having dinner, families eating out. The Malibu Grill in Bloomington, Indiana was worth the few minutes it took the staff to set… Continue reading Competition Day (May 20/continued again)
