East meets West

November 9, 2008 in Personal with 2 Comments

The design of the groom’s cake at our wedding was a football field. There were little football player figures painted crimson & white on one side, orange & blue on the other side. The yard lines were marked with ribbons across the green icing on top of the cake. A very significant symbol of one of our interests: college football, specifically Alabama and Florida.

The football field will once again look like our groom’s cake as these 2 teams meet again to battle for the SEC championship title. The Florida Gators vs. the Alabama Crimson Tide. It’s going to be a tough game. So far, Bama is undefeated; the Gators have one loss.

Stock up on the football snacks and get ready for the cheers and probably some moans and groans. It’s gonna be a loud Saturday.

A help resource for tween girls

Issues that once faced teen girls are now, and have been for many years, facing tween-age girls, and some girls even younger than that. It’s amazing how girls are pushed, forced, and encouraged to “grow up” and act older than their age. A multitude of factors contribute to this push: friends, family, media. Emotionally some girls are ready; some are not.

Here is an article about an author who writes fiction and non-fiction books for tween girls. Amazing story.

1. We are electing a new president.

2. Your vote does count.

3. You may reside in a swing state where it is crucial to make your vote count.

4. You need to elect your representatives to Congress.

5. Local elections are just as crucial as presidential elections.

6. You need to voice your vote on amendments.

7. Life is a democracy. A democratic government requires citizen participation and this is chiefly done through the ballot box.

So, go VOTE. It’s your right and responsibility.
