Sonshine News
Welcome to Sonshine News. In case you are wondering why I picked this name for the newsletter, Sonshine is the nickname I use for my son Joey. In fact, it is the only one he will allow me to use. Plus we all need a little extra sunshine in our lives.
Here's this week's Sonshine News links on the web. Sonshine News
Just a couple of things to share with you this week. There will not be a Sonshine News next week. I am going to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a well deserved rest and vacation. My father and brother lives in that area. Sonshine is so excited about going to the beach and seeing his Pa Pa and Uncle "Monkey". Joey had a hard time pronouncing Michael when he was little so he called him Uncle Monkey. I promise that I will have Sonshine News ready for you when I get back the following Saturday. You
will have a great chance to check out some of the archive links of past editions of Sonshine News on the web.
Yippee, I am done with back to school shopping for Sonshine. Joey had a major growth spurt over the summer. Last year he was wearing a size 6 at the beginning of the school year. He is now in a sizes 8-10. Sniff, he is growing so fast.
We had a wonderful experience this week. We went to a park in Clearbrook, Virginia just for a picnic. This is a lovely park, if you are ever in that area, go to it. Sonshine loved feeding the ducks and the fish at the lake. Just as we got ready to leave, the park ranger came to where we was. He had a baby mountain lion (Cougar) with him. He raises wild cats as his hobby and has a permit to do so. Joey, hubby, and I got to hold the baby. The baby was the size of a full grown cat. I was amazed that they purr really loud. It is hard to believe that this baby will grow to be 250 pounds someday.
My Pick of the Week
AMOE: Angel Moms On Earth Want to get a warm fuzzy feeling? This site will allow you to do it. The primary purpose of AMOE is to bring happiness and a feeling of self worth, and hope to a child, who has little or nothing to look forward to. And to help to relieve the burden of the parent to give the child what the parent or guardian cannot afford. The little extras that most children take for granted. If you have a child that can be benefit by this also, please sign them up. Cathy the founder of AMOE has two other sites to look into also. Cathy's Homepage and For All Kids . Just think, three great sites by one person. Enjoy.
