Sunday’s Shining Star

Sunday’s Shining Star is still on hiatus and will be returning on September 18th.

I finally figured out what the problem was and am embarrassed to say what the problem was.
I have stated on many occasions that I am computer illiterate, yes, I admit it.  It took me this long to figure out that it was the label for blogger.  The little apostrophe in Sundays, that little red apostrophe would not be accepted as a character in the label box by blogger.  I don’t know why and I wish someone would explain it to me because I just don’t get it.  
I asked last week when Shining Star should resume, seeing that next Sunday is the 10 year 911 Anniversary, and I agree, it should be a day of remembrance.  If anyone would like to leave comments next Sunday, their thoughts, emotions, where they were, memories, etc, will be welcome.  I thought since we didn’t know each other 10 years ago, it would be nice to share.
And on a brighter note, today is a special day, which I can’t believe is here.  In 1997, when my oldest son started HS, he walked home from school with a friend.  They stopped at my house and Paul introduced me to his friend, we talked, they had snacks.  Ironically I had gone grocery shopping that day and there was a person, my age, bagging my groceries and we started talking.  It turned out to be Paul’s new friend’s Mom, who became my bff.  Ever since that day both families have been friends.  I take that back, the friendship is so close that we are more like family.  Today, he is getting married, I call him my 3rd son, my oldest son is in the wedding party and my youngest son drove home for the wedding.  We plan on taking many pictures, key word plan, and ope to share some with you.
Congratulations Georgie and Dina !!

A Bit Of Me

Hosted by Jen at Teacher Mentors Text

From Danielle’s blog:
We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.
This week’s question:  (link-up with your answer at Jen’s site): Share your favorite blogs, bookish or not, that you can’t go a single day without visiting.

Last week I announced that Saturday’s A Bit Of Me was taking a hiatus, but when I went to Danielle’s site to start my hopping and post my link, she had some great news.  Some bloggers had offered to host this meme on a rotating basis so A Bit Of Me Is back !!!!  Thank you to those kind bloggers in offering of their time!!!!!

hmmmm..favorite?  

Favorite?  I can’t do favorite!!!  That’s like asking which child is your favorite? …..well I guess that would depend on the kind of day it is lol.  OK…I’ll give it a try.  After booting up and checking my mail, the next stop is my blog, NING and Facebook and see what I missed while sleeping.
Then it’s back to my blog, to post my daily memes (I really do love my daily memes), visit the hosting blog and start hopping to blogs that participate.  I tend to visit different blogs throughout the day depending on reading something from their newsletter that I subscribe to, or if I haven’t visited in a while and I will admit I do have some favorites but my lips are zipped.

What about you?  What sites is a must for you to visit on a daily basis?
