My husband and I are very much in favor of wishing our friends, family and business associates a “Merry Christmas” this time of year, and don’t mind being politically incorrect in doing so. I came across this video today on a colleague’s blog and I thought it explained my sentiment exactly. Check it out and [...]

I’ve written about her before many times, but I want to formally introduce you to my friend, Lynn Terry. We just recently met for lunch on my way back from visiting family and taking care of some business in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She lives in Tennessee, and like my husband and I, we met online. She [...]

We’ve been attending Fluvanna Baptist Church for over six months now and we love it. I’ve grown up visiting this church since this is where my aunt & uncle have been attending for almost 2 decades, so there’s more history here than just the past six months. In fact, my cousin is buried here. So [...]

I’ve been on Jim Edwards’ mailing list for a few years now…he helped me (indirectly) launch my most popular website, WallpaperIllusions.com. Well, I’m in the middle of preparing to launch a new product and am putting the finishing touches on my salesletter, and I just received a notice of his most recent article, 4 Reasons [...]

Today I had the rare opportunity of being at my computer just as my friend & colleague, Lynn Terry was kicking off her weekly free webinar. This week’s subject was Blog SEO: Easy Tips for Blog Optimization. I found it very helpful since I’ve been wanting to do more with this blog than I have [...]

The Board of Supervisors: Each precinct in Fluvanna County is represented by one supervisor with the exception of the Rivanna District, which elects two on staggered terms. Supervisors must be registered voters and residents of the precinct from which they are elected. Voters elect their supervisors on a staggered election schedule in odd-numbered years for [...]

Before I ruffle too many feathers, I’m just asking the question. I’m not declaring there is one, but someone needs to take a closer look at this. It appears there has been a plan for a new high school at Pleasant Grove as early as 2003 (or before). In 2004 a Joint Committee was formed [...]

Technically, today is day 5 of the 2020 Challenge, and I’m on day 5. That’s a pretty big accomplishment since many of my colleagues get a little stuck on day 3. But then again I had a little head start before signing up for the challenge, knowing day 3 was a tough one to get [...]

We just finished watching Walt Disney’s Meet the Robinsons this evening. What a cleverly imaginative movie! Family Film Night used to be a regular tradition when we were living in Tulsa a few years back, but since we’ve been popping out babies left and right the last few years, the ritual sort of subsided. Well, [...]
