Christmas: Mulled Wine, Cranberry Sauce, Glistening Fields of Snow and … Last-minute Shopping. There are Canadians who have long completed their Christmas shopping, who have neat stacks of beautifully wrapped gifts tucked under a decorated tree as I type this sentence, on December 16th. And there are others who are in a state of disbelief, wondering how November zoomed by at such a speed and why, why, why they did not start shopping earlier. If you are in the second group, fear not. These 5…

The sun sparkles on the newly fallen snow as Saturday arrives. Christy flies down the stairs waking us, forgetting to help Mark out of his crib. We can hear his cries as she excitedly pulls us out of bed. This is her day. It belongs to no one else, her first solo ice skating competition. Preparing for this all important day has taken a great deal of work. Able to walk a balance beam at two, Christy takes to ice skating as quickly as she walks a balance beam. Before long we are…

I spent most of my childhood growing up in Pennsylvania, but my earliest memories emerge from the few years I lived in Florida. While my brother and cousin were in school, my mom would bring me with her to my abuela’s house where it always smelled of Cuban cooking and she would bring me rice and beans and Maria cookies. Even after moving back to Pennsylvania, we would visit at least once a year; sometimes driving over eighteen hours just because of the importance of making time to see family. I…

In 84 Woodcrest Road here in Georgetown, Texas, you will find not one, but two beautiful built homes surrounded by bright green trees where the wind blew the leaves and make them dance playfully across the beautiful watered dark green grass. Tiffin house was built in the year 2008 where employees work to take care of residents with alzheimers and dimentia. Here at Tiffin House i got to see how the house looks, talk to a few employees, and talk to the director on how the house flows and works.…

things that can lead to new and great discoveries. If you want to know more about my journey in searching my family heritage read on. To begin with genealogists search for information about their family heritage. I began searching after I did a family tree and talked to my parents about their grandparents and great grandparents. Then Mrs. Michaelson brought…

Being a 17 year old can be extremely stressful with school, sports, clubs, and out of school activities. Luckily, music is a wonderful way to relieve the day's tension. Listening to music is an easy way to stay calm, and can also make you think about old memories. Songs such as “Hawaii” by The Beach Boys “Grandpa Told Me So” by Kenny Chesney and “Breakeven” by The Script all have impacted my life greatly. These songs are capable of bringing back memories from my past, both good and bad. The…

There is something so special about the way thanksgiving brings families together. Not always physically, but emotionally. We look back and remember every thanksgiving. The smell of fresh baked pies, smoky ham, turkey, and the mouth watering mashed potatoes. We remember family and friends laughing, smiling, playing games, and sharing embarrassing stories with one another while stuffing their faces with food. Our thanksgiving did not change this year. The smells floating in the air, the friends…

As I skimmed over the overview, I couldn’t understand why my uncle had pointed me to South Carolina. Sitting there slightly intrigued, I thought to myself, “was this a joke, or did he perhaps flip to the wrong page?” Then…it hit me. I had just graduated Warrant Officer Candidate School a few months earlier, and the next phase of training required for me to complete my transition from a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer to a Warrant Officer was the Warrant Officer Basic Course. For my…

This summer I did a lot of activities. I went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Although ziplining and whitewater rafting was very fun, that is not what I am going to write about though. I am going to write about going to Lake Rudolph with my best friend, Valorie. Lake Rudolph is in Santa Claus, Indiana. It is by Holiday World. So, when we were at Lake Rudolph, we had a blast! The first day we got there, it was kind of late, so we got milkshakes and we hung out at the park. It really helped that our…

heard this famous saying or not, it seems to ring true. For example, when you were a child, you were told that Santa Claus is existent and that he's the one that comes down your chimney (if you happen to have one), place presents under your Christmas tree, and bite into the cookies and drink the milk left out for him. So you believed it because you simply suppose "My parents wouldn't lie to me, right?!” Yet once you've gotten to that certain age where you were able to decipher reality from the…
