My question is, who was sitting around thinking "Hey, what if I pull a ground hog out of it's burrow on February 2nd and then say that if it sees it's shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of winter or if it doesn't see it, spring will come early?" They must have been pretty bored that day. I mean the Weather Channel had TWO reporters up there doing live interviews and showing the countdown to the famous moment. It's crazy how popular it is. I'm not knocking it at all. I'd actually like to go up there one year to Gobber's Hill and see what it's all about. What do you think? |

A Quick Programming Note: I think I have been trying to do too much in one newsletter and I was very overwhelmed trying to get it ready every week before Friday. Also the format was waaaayyyy too long and taking so much time to read. So going forward I am going to split them up into two separate emails. One email will be sent on Tuesdays and this one will still be sent on Fridays. I hope you'll stick around because I've got a lot to tell you but I understand if the twice a week schedule is too much or you feel my newsletters aren't the right fit for you.

Winter Sports: Attention Basketball and Cheer coaches and participants!! This is your friendly reminder to get your team and individual pictures scheduled soon before the end of the season on March 3rd! I offer this service FREE of charge and I will come out to any school during a practice or if we can't make that work, we can try getting them in before a game. Here are the dates in February I still have available: 7th, 9th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd. The entire last week of February is also available as well (except the 27th) however that might be cutting it close to getting your pictures back before the end of the season (or banquet if you plan on having one.)

PET OF THE WEEK: I thought I would do something a little different this week. I thought I would post a picture and a brief description of an animal from the Franklin County Animal Shelter. Hopefully by doing this we can get these sweet animals a good furever home. Meet Verbena! Look at that sweet smile! She is one of the longer tenured residents at the shelter. She is super friendly, gets excited when she first meets you, but then just wants love. She loves belly rubs! She's fully vetted and keeps a clean kennel. She is dog selective so a meet and greet is required. She would do great with children!! Feel free to share this with anyone you think needs a new friend. Read more about Verbana... |
