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
I now have a banner to link my page if you have a web site, please go ahead and use it to link to Sonshine News.

I want to thank y'all for being so patient while I was on vacation in SC and then when I returned home to find the things my hubby had hidden while I was gone. LOL! Unfortunately, hubby was not able to go with us because of his job schedule. I got to admit, he did a great job of fending for himself. I did bring him back five pounds of boiled peanuts. I am unable to find them in my area. Every time I go down South, I have to get a big bag of them.

Sonshine just started the 1st grade this week and he is so happy to be back to school. His teacher is a close friend of our family and Joey loves her so much. I know that he will be doing great this year.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day. I plan on making Grilled Cajun Beer Basted Chicken which is a family favorite. You can get my recipe for it on this page Home Page from my good web buddy Martha's site. Two Labor Day sites to enjoy Happy Labor Day! Pass it on to all hard-working people! and Labor Day .


My Pick of the Week
Shusmommy Home Hint Page We all can use a helpful hint in our homes. Check out Jill's page for vinegar. It is wonderful for everything. I made the recipe for Apple Praline Cheesecake she had listed in her recipes. It is wonderful. Jill is a fellow West Virginian, so you know she has to be a smart cookie. :-) Make sure to sign her guestbook or even send her your favorite hint to use by email.

GREAT DEAL: I am not sure if some any of you have heard of Office Depot's or Office Max's 155% Guarantee. You can take Walgreens, Target, Kmart, Staples, Walmart's, Office Max or Office Depot's ads to the store. Show them the sale item (has to be the exact same item) and they will match the price and give you an additional 55% of the difference in price off. I have gotten several free things and some REALLY cheap things too this way. Each store could have their own rules so check on what they say.
