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.
Okay you asked for it, some of you have even cybernagged me for it. Here it is: Sonshine News Please bear with me while I try to learn how to make web pages. I will try to get the past issues on other pages, but wanted to surprise you with this one. I think that I was able to put all the links on this issue, but sorry didn't put any of the extra thingys. I also have this home page that I am working on. wvhaze's NanoHome
Next week will be the Special Father's Day issue. Please continue to send me any great ideas on how you celebrate it. Could be a special recipe for dad or something the kiddies have made special for him. Even a special memory of your dad or one with the hubby from the kiddies.
A Couple of Special Thank You's
Two wonderful people really came through for me this week. They both did this with the goodness of their hearts and volunteer to help me. Please just take a few seconds of your time and ask God to bless them with wonderful things in their lives for helping me.
The first person I like to thank is Cindy. Cindy designed the Pick of the Week award. She didn't even want me to mention her in Sonshine News, but I threatened to keep on whining by IM until she did. She did agreed to let me just mention her first name. So if you would like to see the wonderful job Cindy did, please go to my good cyber buddy Sandi's page and take a peek. Sandi was the very first to be the Pick of the Week in Sonshine News. Your Childs Autism and You Just scroll down to her awards part. I think it looks so great just being on there. My special friend Diana, AKA AngelFairy also put the award on her latest page. ANGELS GALORE PART II I want to also thank all my Picks of the Week for being so patient to get their award.
Second person I want to thank is Dottie, my special coeditor for this week. This week, my old job called me and asked if I would be able to help them out for three days while the new secretary was in training. I am a sahm, but I don't mind helping out the old job from time to time. However, I didn't have much time to surf the net like I normally do. Dottie knew this and sent some wonderful links for Sonshine News. I didn't even have to ask her to do this.
One extra thank you. If you sent me something this week, I'm very sorry if I forgot to mention you by name. It was a busy week and I was trying to get Sonshine News and the new web page ready for this Saturday. Again, please forgive me if I did forget to mention you.
My Pick of the Week
There is a very wonderful site that is sure to pick your spirits up and it is called INSPIRATIONS . Deb has done a wonderful job with it. I love her section on the artist of the month. She has wonderful poems and prose. When I first lost my daughter Leigh, a wonderful friend sent me this link. Love Lives On The words touched me very deeply and of course, I had to look at the rest of Deb's wonderful site.

This is cool. I had to put what it said about me. LOL What's in YOUR Name? - demonstration analysis
As Deneen you are rather serious-minded, responsible, and stable. You have the gift of tact and diplomacy, and possess a charming, easy-going nature which endears you to others. You have a serious desire to understand the heart and mind of everyone, and could be very effective in a career or in volunteer work where you are handling people and serving in a humanitarian way. This name also gives you a love of home and family, and as a parent you would likely be fair and understanding. You remember the thoughtful little expressions of affection and appreciation that mean so much to others, and you have the ability to create a warm and loving environment. However, you tend to put things off and avoid facing issues because of a lack of confidence and uncertainty. You often need encouragement from someone before you can come to a decision. This name creates a generally well-balanced and healthy nature, but any weakness in the health would cause problems in the fluid functions, such as kidney or bladder trouble, overweight, or swelling of the legs and ankles.
Just for the Kiddies
When I was a kiddie, all my mother had to do was buy me bubble solutions to keep me entertained. I am glad to say Sonshine loves them also. He loves his bubble lawnmower and a bubble leaf blower toys. He loved it when I figured out how to put him in a large soap bubble. I used a kiddy swimming pool and a hula hoop for it.
