First Day of Kindergarten for MacKenzie

 Monday arrived and it was all it was hoped to be...my youngest daughter started Kindergarten! She has been looking forward to this day...counting the days. We have been preparing for this moment. Last October we went to her school for their Halloween Carnival. We did testing in March. We went to Back to School Night. I signed up as a member of the PTA. We did SEPs and finally...FINALLY, the alarm went off and the calendar reflected it was time....to be independent, to be a Kindergartner!

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

High School Musical 3...and the Mini-Superstar!

The alarm clock downstairs rang announcing today was the day for High School Musical 3 and the mini-superstar living in our basement. Today was the big day. My second child was selected as an "extra" in the filming of High School Musical 3 . Oh, he was excited. He took forever getting ready. Shower, then an extra-long facial, followed by hair gel, hair spray, and my guess, cologne as well. He put on his brown cargo pants and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and loaded his backpack with his change of clothes. And then, at 8:30 am he stood in the kitchen all gussied up with backpack on and ready. We had to tell him that check-in wasn't for 2-hours and settle in. I think he was sure the clocks had stopped. The excitement was killing him. Finally, it was time to go. As my husband covered instructions with him, what the money was for, where to meet for pick up, where the payphone was, here's your lunch, blah, blah, blah....my son's only response was, "Can...

Desert Thunder--Speedway Illustrated December 2009

 Long before the Modified Circuit knew him, I met him. It was a long, long time ago...almost 25 years ago. He was seventeen a legend in motor-cross and destined for greater things than he'd ever imagined I met him in a sterile hospital with over-polished floors. The decor a bland grey and muted blue . I was sixteen, he was seventeen. It was seven weeks since our birthday. I don't remember him before that moment. I've written about him several times in my blog. Perhaps you remember " Reflections of a Friendship " or " Best Friends". To see him now, featured on the cover of Speedway Magazine's December 2009 issue is impressive. It's not anything I ever doubted he could do. It's not something that defines him to me. It's something that shares with the world the man I most admire--the man who is more whole, more complete than any other person I have been fortunate to meet. Enjoy this tribute written by Mike Adaskaveg and published by Speedwa...
