Pick up your old photos
Wed, May 28, 2008 @ 3:17PM
Over the past years we have accumulated hundreds of submitted photos that the owners have never picked up. We have wedding, engagement, baby, anniversary and other types of photos coming out our ears! So in an attempt to organize our submitted photos from this point on, I am putting all of the OLD photos in a box and sitting them in our conference room for people to sort through and take what belongs to them. All of the photos submitted from now and in the future will be sorted by event such as weddings and will be kept on file for the rest of the year. At the end of the year, if the photos are not picked up we will again sit them in a box for pick up. We have many photos I am sure are that many families would like to have back to enjoy. If you are interested in looking through the photos, you may come in from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday from June 2 to June 13 or by appointment. Call Deb Vaughn to make an appointment at 717-248-6741.

Savoir Bear is everywhere
Fri, July 18, 2008 @ 10:02AM
Actually, it's more like Coco Bear, so Klondike Cat can sit this one out. With Hershey's hockey season ended a bit earlier than usual this spring, I've been paying more attention to baseball than bears. But at the last two baseball games I've covered, the Bears have gotten into the conversation. Filing from Williamsport after the Babe Ruth opener for 14-year-olds Wednesday, I met a fellow season ticket holder at the Sun-Gazette, our sister publication. She happens to be from Mifflintown, so it was a double local tie-in. More interesting was the woman who came into the press box at Gettysburg Thursday, where the 13-year-olds were playing a marathon (3:15) against State College. At one point, she looked at me and said I appeared familiar to her.

Memories come full circle
Fri, October 24, 2008 @ 4:12PM
I have been distracted in many ways these past few weeks. One of the things includes my family and something that happened 10 years ago. It may be Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but there is another type of cancer that I always am aware of, especially in October. Ten years ago, my mother's mother, my Nana, died of lung cancer. She was 67 years young. And she smoked most of her life on Earth. I was young, too young to talk to her seriously about life and men, but not too young for her to make a lasting impact on my life. I still canát believe sheás gone, and when my mother and I stood by her grave during the weekend, it was just as shocking as the night she died. Now, with similar circumstances creeping, lurking into my family's life, I can't help but to be distracted into a time of reflection.

What month is it?
Tue, September 30, 2008 @ 5:06PM
Thank goodness it's Oct. 1. The food desk has been inundated with important press releases letting me and other food editors know that October is the month to push their products. October is National Popcorn Poppin' Month, which I did push on the Oct. 1 food page because I like quizzes and the The Popcorn Board sent an interesting one. They also sent lots of great-sounding recipes and pictures of the finished products that I think The Sentinel readership will enjoy.

TV Turn-Off week 7th day
Sun, April 27, 2008 @ 8:34PM
TV Turn off week has been much easier than expected this week for both the kids and I. We had went through seven full days and nights without TV, computer and video games and computer games. We kept busy with outdoor activities. The weather was so perfect for the entire week. The kids didnt miss TV as much as I thought they would. They all said it was a fun week. I enjoyed it also. This is what we did for the 7th day without electronics. My daughter Dana had gotten me out of bed at 1am with ear pain, I gave her Tylenol and she slept with me the rest of the night. We got up in the morning and got an appointment for the Doctors and went to find out she had terrible ear infections in both ears. We then went to walmart for medication. She got some lunch and medication in her and was ready to go to kid connection. Mike had met us at kid connection. We had fun and the boys were down there all day. I dropped them off before going to the Doctors. They had a good time also.
