Collage Friday


TGIF - it's been a HOT HOT Week here in NY.  Thanking the good Lord for our central air! 
We have been to the beach (lake) twice this week...bowling....bike a thon at church (last Friday) and getting ready for Christmas in July - camping trip (leaving in an hour or so)....WOW - we did find time for some school this week - talking about fire safety and first aid.


Last Friday morning my children participated in a fund raiser/Bike A Thon for the MAD group at church (Making A Difference).  Alone - my children raised over $ 140 in collections.  Zachary himself did 77 laps!  So proud of the kids!  (thanks to Bubby and Daddy for sponsoring the kids!)




Last year collage from  - Camping  - Christmas in July at Jellystone!  We are the reigning Site Decorating Champs and will be defending our title this weekend again! 
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and why not join me and others over at Homegrown Learners for Collage Friday!


Today is my mom's birthday!  Love you Bubby!
Be Blessed!

Hi friend! Thanks for linking -- and Happy Birthday to your mom!

We're going to the mountains next week, and there will be a camper there - but we are sleeping in a nice comfy cabin in the woods. Sorry. ;-)

One day I will go camping and blog and link to you generously!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
