Did You Know About Volkssporting?

Did you know about volkssporting?

I had not heard this term before, but I love the idea! Coming up this weekend is a local volkssporting event , a volkswalk. These are family friendly events which are open to anyone of any age (children under 12 must be with an adult.) It is a free event. You choose your own start time (within the given time frame) and participate in the 10K walk. You can go at a leisurely pace and enjoy the historic sights and sounds of your local route. The route is monitored with check points throughout. It sounds like a wonderful way to spend some time together enjoying local points of interest you may have otherwise overlooked.

Did You Know About Commonplace Books?

Did you know about commonplace books?

I just heard this term for the first time this week. It is an idea I really like and think I've even experienced. A commonplace book is a collection of sayings, quotes, meaningful things that readers gather together and keep in a personal journal/scrapbook. The practice began in the middle ages and continues on even today. I kept something very similar to this when I was in high school. Most times, a commonplace book will focus on one theme, compiling ideas along that theme. Today, the commonplace book still has its place. Many people have compared blogging to keeping a commonplace book. There are even a couple of blogs that go by that name.

Did You Know About Capulin Volcano National Park?

Did you know about Capulin Volcano National Park?

I did not know of this park until last week when we had internet troubles. We had folks from the cable company parading through the back yard and up and down the street working on the problem. One of them heard me reading to the kids about volcanoes. He stopped to tell us that he had visited an extinct one in New Mexico. Of course the kids got all excited and asked if we could take a field trip there. Well after looking at the website for Capulin , we thought it would be pretty cool to see, but we have deemed the 14 hour drive a little too long.

Did You Know About Help With Medical Bills?

Did you know about help with medical bills?

As my granny has been undergoing several health issues this past year, I am sure she is grateful for good insurance. Not all seniors are blessed with such good insurance. Many have gaps that have to be filled in with a medicare supplement and still find it difficult at times. There are some plans in place to help folks with medical bills. Beginning on line is often a good way to find information on the kind of help you qualify for.
