I voted today

I voted today, I voted for my future and for my son's future. I waiting in line for an hour to early vote and I must say I really felt something when I used my black marker and filled in the circle for Obama. I felt like I was voting for change, I felt like my vote will count. No matter who you vote for please vote on Tuesday, every vote counts.

Guess what I just got

This is what happens when you watch Oprah. Last Friday the founder of Amazon.com was on Oprah and Oprah gave everyone in the audience her new favorite thing an Amazon Kindle. What is a kindle you ask...an electronic book reader. It is really cool. It can hold 200 books on it plus as a camera SD card and you can have 2000 books on your Kindle. You can get best sellers and the most expensive book to get is only $9.99. We are trying ours for 30 days to see if we like it. You can adjust the font size for older eyes, you can ask it a question and a real person answers in 5 min or less. The books are sent to you wirelessly on the whispernet. A complete book is sent to you in less then a minute. I am looking forward to reading my Kindle while I wait in line to vote tomorrow.

Pumpkin Patch Adventure

Make a Smilebox postcard

Pumpkin Patch pictures

Well this might be it, the last year Andrew goes willingly to the pumpkin patch with me. I did have to bribe him with a cherry coke. He was such a good sport, he knows the drill for a scrapbooking mom like me and the patch. He even knew without me asking this morning to put on a collared shirt. We started our day at Florida Studio Theater where we saw the Emporors New Clothes and then off to lunch at Applebee's. then a stop at the Mall for some Mac and I got the cutest baby boy clothes for my new newphew to be. They were having a sale there like no sale I had ever seen. I got 11 pieces of clothing, including bibs, 2 hats, lots of outfits, onesies and more for only $41. This is going to be a well dressed kid. Then we were off to the patch. We went to Fruitville Grove, its Free and oh my they have a huge tent set up and it is all set up for pictures. Now we are back home, and I already uploaded the pictures from the patch and will get them at Target later. We had a fun card club last night and Andrea, Fern and I taught Melissa to play Hold'Em. Tomorrow is soccer and then Sunday is Speghetti in the Sukkah at Chabad. have a great weekend!

Meet Legacy

One of the great perks of my job is I get to meet the most wonderful donors and people. One of our amazing donors has sponsored a guide dog in the Foudnations name and we waited over a year for our puppy to be concieved and born. Well in July our little puppy was born. We had a name the puppy contest well over a year ago and now meet Legacy our future guide dog. Legacy is a black lab and is being raised by Sandy who works at Southeastern Guide Dog School. We all went to the amazing open house last Saturday and met Legacy. She is a super cute puppy and will be raised to do an amazing job.

Soccer Season begins

If it's October in sunny and hot Florida that must mean it's soccer season. Jeff is coaching Andrew's team this year again and this year we are the orange Fire Foxes. Yesterday was the Jamboree and pictures. We played a scrimage game. It was hot, let me repeat that it was hot. I am proud to say I am the owner of a new chair with a sun shield on it. I purchased it immediatley after I sat out in the blazing sun for over an hour after the game.
