We have been trying to purchase mini iPad's for the students at school. We finally got them after working to buy them for several weeks. Apple doesn't want to sell them to a school through a retailer. They have to be purchase directly from Apple. I have been putting the screen savers on them, today.

Mary Beth, a friend of mine, posted on facebook the other day about her gas gauge. Her husband was concerned because she always lets her gas gauge go as low as she can. I do the same thing, except in the really cold winter. I hate to pump gas. I can do it, I just don't like to!

If you look really close at the photo on the left side of the sign, that little puppy was Coco when he was only 10 weeks old. He is the groom dog of the month, so they put his profile picture on the sign. He was only 3 pounds and 6 ounces in this picture.
Day 298, Sunday, October 25, 2015

This black cat was sitting outside of Jennifer's window on the ledge. She looked up and their it was! Shortly after, Rachel called from her classroom and this cat had run inside while she was taking the students to the bus. We called animal control to come and get it, so it would hopefully find his way home. I later posted on facebook and the owner found him from my post and many shares.
Day 279, Tuesday, October 6, 2015
I have been working on my scrapbook pages. I have been getting through 2007. I finally did a page for John and Stacie's wedding. Actually, their wedding pictures have been in a photo album since the day I brought them home from the store, but I haven't "scrapped" any until today!
