It just doesn’t seem right that the schools are starting up again. Especially not with the “un-summer” that we experienced this year! You all know what I am talking about, because I’ve heard you say it!
To look on the bright side, at least we were able to experience days on end of beautiful sunny weather (after 2pm) and the gardens finally started producing, although later than normal. Read more

Okay, I have to admit that I have stayed away from the Twilight series as long as I could. Add yet another one to the long list of those who were sucked into its intriguing storyline and lovable characters. (Pun fully intended ☺
An avid reader, I usually can not find time to read in the summer months, what with so many fun things going on. Somehow I managed, and I think it was because the clock was striking an ungodly hour while I was on the couch reading!
With three small children, the idea of reading a novel by the pool becomes just that, an idea. I’m sure that there will be a season in life where novels will seem a boring pasttime, but I’m not at that season right now! Read more

Wafting smells of sweet, smoky, barbecued goodness assaults the air evening after evening these days. YES! Summertime has finally arrived!
Regardless of the dreary waterlogged June, I think that the Northwesterners that we are have rebelled and begun summer ourselves. I see BBQ’s under porches and covered areas smoking with delectable treats anyways.

I think I might have been very ambitious this month, stuffing this issue full of articles, and such, since I was left with our “We Get Letters!” column and no place left to put it!
So, I’ve decided to include it here, after my small editorial, since we got some very entertaining comments and answers to some of our FaceBook questions online.

Well, this action continues on around us through the many events, activities and “to-do’s” that literally flood the area , starting in May.

This is one of my favorite issues to put together, with both the Senior focus and especially the Green Guide. Sustainability and local economy are near and dear to my heart, and something I happen to be passionate about. (As if you didn’t know!) ☺
It is a strange February we had this year, with daffodils and other early bloomers poking up as early as the second week. We’re not used to that sight until March, and it has some folks worried that the flower growing season is going to be out of whack. Read more

Just like the words claim, It’s the MOST Wonderful Time of the Year! And our son turns ONE! Wow!
Okay, aside from summer flip flops and warm heat, Christmas-time is my most favorite time of the year! I always itch to get my decorations up before the Thanksgiving celebration is over, although my husband usually nixes that idea.
‘Not until Thanksgiving is done’.
