School Supplies

It's time to shop for back to school supplies. There are some good deals at Walmart, but don't forget places like Office Max. They are having some one cent specials this month. Check their weekly ad to see what the deals of the week are. This week pencil sharpeners were one cent each, but you must get to the store on Sunday when the sale begins or they will be gone. Other featured items this week are packs of colored pencils for 25 cents and plastic binders for 20 cents. Now is a good time to buy flash drives and dvds and cds. Happy Shopping.

Remembering. . .

July 20th 1969
I sat in the living room with my family watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. We were watching our black and white TV and it was tuned to Channel 5 where Walter Cronkite was narrating the event.
And that's the way it was, 40 years ago.
Where were you?

Like mother. . .

Remember the Tale of Number 26, who doesn't have the sense God gave a goat. This must be her KID!
