High School Memories

I thought this would be fun. I've listed a few things about me from high school. I loved going to school, it was my sanctuary. I was a sponge, I still am. I loved learning!
 
I'm hoping you will list a few things you remember from high school too.
Okay here goes....

 I didn't belong to any one particular group of friends. I was friends with everyone. The brains, the jocks, the parking lot crew, the quiet ones, the loud ones, the artists and the theater crowd.

 I took college courses while in high school.

 I created artwork for the school magazine.

 I never bought lunch from the cafeteria.

 I used to speak French, Spanish and Turkish

 I loved classic films and jazz music


I  took extra credit courses during the summer. One year I spent three weeks recording deer droppings for the wildlife resources department!

Yes that's my high school graduation photo! Okay now its your turn!

Holiday Posting Continues with My Christmas Shoes

I'm continuing my Christmas Holiday posting by re-posting my Christmas Shoes poem, I hope you like it.

My Christmas Shoes

I turned on the light and threw open the door.

The closet was full from ceiling to floor.

My shoes were all lined up in nice tidy rows.

Some high and some low, and some even with bows.

They shined and they sparkled and were in all different colors.

Some even looked just like the others.

Today I will sort them and decide which to choose.

So I search and I sort and I find the best pairs.

I stack them on floors.

Put them in boxes, and on chairs.

I package them up in a box marked from Kate.

It’s Christmas you see, and it’s time to donate.

I give all year long and at holidays too.

So out they will go ,to be someone’s new shoes.

What’s next you might ask?

Well it’s easy for me.

The coat closet for sure, no one needs more than three.

P.S. only 8 more followers needed to reach 1000 and have a giveaway!

Just Good To Know

I often  refer to myself as a veritable font of information. Now that's in no way meant to sound arrogant. The truth is I have a memory like an elephant. My brain is like a giant sea sponge soaking up every tid bit of information that comes along. I realize an image of a cute elephant, or a giant sea sponge might be more relevant to this post. But aren't these roses lovely?

So today I thought a blog post filled with "did you know "and "just good information" might be fun to share.

Did you know that a couple of glasses of champagne are good for your heart? You've heard about red wine. But did you know that champagne also contains poly-phenols ( potent plant chemicals that help improve your blood flow.) Which may reduce your risk for heart attack. Cheers!

Steel wool pads cost about $3.50 for a box of 10. But a 25 ft roll of aluminum foil is usually less than $2.00 roll some up in a rough ball and use it instead.

Did you know white rice is not only tasty but can clean your coffee grinder too? Just add a teaspoon of dry white rice to your coffee grinder. Grind as if you would for coffee until the rice has turned to dust. Wipe out with a paper towel or clean dry cloth. All of the coffee bean stains are gone and the grinder looks shiny and new again( keeps blades sharp too).


Just good information-I’ve done this for years and it works really well. Cleaning the microwave is a breeze.Fill a microwavable bowl with water and a squirt of your favorite dish soap. Place in your microwave and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Let sit for 2 minutes. Carefully remove bowl ( it's hot).Wipe the inside of the microwave with a damp sponge.The hot soapy water steams the microwave clean and all you do is wipe it off. taa daa!

If you've enjoyed this post I'll do more posts similar to it in the future. Meanwhile,........Did you know that your blog friendship makes me smile and your comments make me do a little happy dance?!

Twitter Tweets

I’ve recently discovered the joy of tweeting. That’s right tweeting.

I am, I say, “ A Tweet-er”.

What is tweeting? Well it’s a little burst of information you provide to anyone who’s interested, on a site called Twitter.
You can share photos or general information. It’s a simple connection to people and friends that allows you a brief moment of information sharing.

I’m just getting started. But I find it a fun and simple way to put a message out into cyberspace.Sometimes I’m silly and sometimes I’m serious. Just like this blog. It’s like social network without all of the extras.

I invite you to stop by and to join in. Wouldn’t you like to be a tweeter too? Giggle.

Just click follow me on twitter located at the top left of my blog. I'll see you there. Tweet!
