Blog 14 – Topic of the Week – Holiday Plans

There are only two weeks remaining in this semester. While at times it may have seemed to drag by, at others it seemed to speed by.

As you prepare to complete final papers, final projects, final exams, etc., are you also thinking ahead to the time you’ll have off between the fall and spring semesters? What will you do with your time off? Are you traveling during the time between fall and spring semesters?  Have you completed your holiday shopping? What are some of your/your family’s holiday traditions? What do you most look forward to at this time of the year?

Blog 11 – Topic of the Week – Halloween

The day many children look forward to is upon us…time for dressing up as various characters and going door to door to ask strangers for candy.

Do you still dress up and attend a party for Halloween? Do you pass out candy to trick or treaters…are you still participating in the gathering of candy? Do you carve a pumpkin to place or your porch?

What is your favorite memory of Halloween when you were a child? Do you have any good stories when you were “tricking” someone and got caught?

If you have a picture (and it’s appropriate) of Halloween past, please share it.
