I bet you all weren’t as lucky in your Sunday plans as we were! Amy and Bob were nice enough to take us out on their boat. We went for a ride over to Gull Island and spent the afternoon just sitting around. Denny got a decent sunburn and I got a little sun myself. The kids really enjoyed the time on the beach. There isn’t anything Shelby likes better than some beach fun accompanied by a double chocolate cookie and a juice box! All in all we had a great time and I’m so glad we got the chance to go. What great friends we have! I consider myself lucky.

The 31st of August was the deadline for the Design Team search for My Creative Classroom. If you haven’t heard about it I encourage you to take a look. I think this could really take off, and I hope it does. Really you will find out all youneed to know and the website, but basically its is a virtual learning spot and Instructors have a virtual classroom. I applied for a DT spot, and I hope to be picked… crossing all my fingers and toes over here. According to the website the team will be announced this week. I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. I could use a new adventure right about now and this would really be right up my alley.

Speaking of classes, my September card class is just about full. Class is the 25th and there are only three spots left as of this moment. The month we will be doing all Christmas cards and winter season generic kind of cards too. If you are interested in a space drop me a line or RSVP at the cards meetup group I have at meetup.com. There is a link to the group on the right of the screen. If you can’t make it and want a kit those are available also. Registrations are being taken until the 20th.

Now for a little public service announcement… If you have a newer car with a bunch of little lights on the dash, particularly one that says “Low Tire Pressure” don’t ignore it. It came on once for me, I investigated, it was nothing, and then I reset it.

Well a month or so later it came on again (last Monday) and I ignored it. Tuesday I got up, loaded the car and left for the post office, when something just didn’t feel right to me. I pulled over, got out and found this…see photo. Silly sensor should have come right out and said, “I’m not faking this time lady, there is a big SCREW in your tire.”

Note to reading public… pay attention to the little flashing light more often. It can turn out to be something important.

Happy Sunday, I’m off to cover Denny in aloe. He just came in here complaining how bad his back hurt. Big baby.
