A walk down memory lane...

So, most of the sisterchicks and I went to camp every summer.  One summer, in 1994, Staci, Amanda, & I were goofing off with a polaroid camera...and here are the results!  My favorite thing is the subtitles!

 





Notice the DC Talk poster in the background!

Notice the photos in the background- they are from the other camp that we always went to in the summer!

 

This one is Dave's personal favorite!



This is my favorite!  What in the world were we thinking when posing this one??  We are certainly "tangled in fear!"

I've got worms!

The good kind, that is.  My pound of red wiggler worms arrived today.  I built a worm bin using these instructions.  Yes, I even drilled by myself!  So, my worms came and I frantically started cutting up newspaper, dampening it to make the bedding.  I added my worms and viola!  My own personal composting unit- vermicomposting- great for the environment, great for my garden, great for my trash!  If you know me, then you know I'm trying to go as green as I can.  I use recycled toilet paper and paper towels, using cloths as much as I can.  I use cloth grocery bags and I garden.  I'm even going to head up the "Green Team" at school with my buddy, Gina, the new PTA president.  (shh, it's a secret)  Pretty soon I'm going to have to make another worm bin, because I'm going to use one in my classroom for our cafeteria waste, as part of a project I have to do for my technology endorsement.  If you want to find out more about vermicomposting, check out the Adventures of Herman the Worm. Okay, okay, I'll show you the pictures already!

Happy Father's day- part 2

Bailey made Dave a hat for Father's Day.  She knitted the whole thing by herself- I just helped end it.  Isn't it so manly?  LOL

Goodbye Kerrie

One of my very best friends just moved to California on Thursday.  Wednesday night about 30 of us met at a restaurant to see her off.  Her new, wonderful man, Andy, flew in that day and the next morning the two of them and her son, Brent (one of Jake's best friends) were begining the road trip to their new home.  I am so happy for Kerrie- she deserves the best, and I think Andy is just that.  But, at the same time I am so sad to lose her.  I can't imagine a day at school without hearing her little chipmunk laugh!  But, what made it all worth it was when Andy turned to me and said, "I am so happy!"  Good luck, Kerrie!  We can't wait to come visit you!

Happy Father's Day

Jake & Bailey made some lovely cakes for their dad at Publix!

Obama '08

Free sticker!

Dear MoveOn member,

Amazing news: We smashed our goal and have given away over half a million Obama bumper stickers!

Since folks are so enthusiastic about showing their support for Obama, we're going to open this up to everybody. That's right: We'll give a free bumper sticker to every American who wants one.

Can you take a moment to forward this email to your friends, family, and colleagues and let them know that they can order a FREE Obama bumper sticker? (If you haven't ordered yours yet, you can do so at the link below, too.)

https://pol.moveon.org/obamastickers/?id=12816-9279307-EyhIl4&t=4

If hundreds of thousands of us order these stickers and place them somewhere visible, we'll show voters in every town how excited we all are about Barack Obama.

These stickers are great even if you don't have a car. You can put them on your bike, laptop, ice chest—really, anywhere.

Forward this email to your friends, family, and colleagues so they can order theirs—or click below to order one for yourself if you haven't already.

Thanks again for all you do.

Woot!

I cannot tell you how thrilled we are that Obama got the nomination.  Let the race begin!
