ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

AUGUST 30th,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's THURSDAY!  

TOASTED MARSHMALLOW DAY

 Some like their marshmallows charred to a crisp and some prefer them golden brown.  Others won't eve bother unless there is chocolate and graham crackers nearby for a little s'mores action.  While others like to shove as many marshmallows as they can into their moth all at once.  No matter your preference, today we raise our sticks and toast the toasted marshmallow. 

Enjoy today or tonight by a campfire or bonfire, toasting a big, soft, sticky and sweet marshmallow, or two, or three, or….. Summer would not be the same without a campfire and this great campfire treat. Summer is short. Summer is good. So enjoy it while it is still here. Toast a marshmallow and forget about everything else.

NEWS FROM HOME

The leaves are falling
One by one.
Summer's over
School's begun.

As this coming weekend is our 3 day Labor Day holiday, marshmallows will be on the menu for many.  After this weekend everyone will be back in school full swing.  It's important to remember too, that the school buses will be out.  I saw many reports of school bus accidents last year.  Remember to take into account that you need to stop when they put the stop sign out.  I know that when I worked and had to leave early in the morning the busses taking children to school were already out and about.  

The pictures today are of Our Star, our Angel, our Little Lad and our northern Belle on the first day of school this year. There will be more back to school pictures coming as I get them.  

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.

Dr. Seuss

COUNTING THE DAYS

The BLUE MOON

 Skywatchers should circle Friday, Aug. 31, on their calendars, for the date offers the last chance to see a so called blue moon for nearly three years. The moon reaches its full phase at 9:58 a.m. EDT,  Friday, marking the second full moon of August.  The previous one occurred Aug. 1st.  Stargazers won't be able to see two full moons in a single month again until July 2015.

23 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Celebrate the happiness
that friends are always giving,
make every day a holiday,
and celebrate just living!

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
