Did You Know the Next American Idol Will Be Picked Tonight?

Did you know the next Americal Idol will be picked tonight?

You probably did. I saw it on the news this morning. I have not kept up with it at all. We watched the end of one season. My daughter really enjoyed it. We tried to watch the next season, but the beginning process of the show really put us off. We would still enjoy watching throughout the later part of the season, if we could keep up with it! Well, I guess after tonight we will know the end result without having watched any of the segments!

Did You Know Cell Phones Were Invented Thirty Years Ago?

Did you know cell phones were invented over thirty years ago?

I was reading at a Yahoo site about the cell phone being invented in 1973. Wow! I had no idea it was that long ago. Of course, they were not the small hand phones we carry around today. And when they hit the market ten years later, they cost over $3000. Not very affordable to most folks. And yet, here we are today with almost everyone carrying one; and today's phones do all sorts of neat tricks!

Can you hear me now?

Did You Know About Mineral Makeup?

Did you know about mineral makeup?

I have been recently looking into getting some mineral based makeup. It is supposed to be good for your skin and be so lightweight you don't feel like you are wearing makeup. It is supposed to help you look younger and have healthier skin. All of these things sound good to me. There are several that I am looking into, one in particular which has no additives or chemicals. The only drawback I can see right now is the price. It is a little on the high end for someone like me.

Did You Know About All Inclusive Caribbean Resort Vacations?

Did you know about all inclusive Caribbean resort vacation packages?

Because my husband and I are looking for somewhere special to go for our twentieth wedding anniversary this summer, I am really in the mood to surf the web looking for the perfect spot.

This website offers great information on resort vacation packages. We can choose from over 200 different destinations including the Caribbean, Mexico, South America, Central America, Asia and the South Pacific, The Mediterranean, The Canary Islands and one in Florida.

There are breath taking pictures to whet our appetite. There is great information on each location. We can read what others who've stayed there have to say. And best of all, we can save off the regular rates.

Did You Know About Our Summer Bible Reading Club?

Did you know about our summer bible reading club?

Last summer our congregation started a summer bible reading club. It is roughly what the public libraries do for their summer reading clubs, only ours uses the bible as its source of reading material.

Last summer we began on Memorial Day and went through Labor Day. In those 100 days we had several kids read through the entire New Testament! I believe that 16 or 18 kids completed it, with another 16 or so doing some portion of the reading.

This summer we are following the same format for reading through Psalms and Proverbs. The reading is much shorter and we have 99 days to finish the goal. After the first day to sign up, we have 36 all ready to start reading next week!

Did You Know Public School Kids are Getting a Long Summer Break?

Did you know public schooled kids in our area are getting a long summer break?

It was decided I guess about a year ago that all schools in our state would start more closely to the same date. So this week, schools let out and they don't go back until the week of August 21. This does not affect me too much except that now we will have less time to enjoy public places without all the crowds. We have become accustomed to going to public attractions during traditional school hours, when the crowds are not so heavy. But now, with schools starting later, and seeminly getting out earlier than they have been, those kids are having a longer summer break. What that means is, more folks out in those public places for a longer period of time than they have been in recent years. I guess we won't hit the beach until September now!
