One.
Our local paper ran a really nice article about Austin Hewitt this week. I have posted about him on here before...he's a senior at our old high school and has battled cancer twice during his high school career. This last time, doctors amputated his leg, and he is doing really really well in his recovery. He even had the lead in the musical this spring! I thought
this was a well-written piece about his journey!

It's always fun to get to brag on someone for an accomplishment, so I wanted to pause here to do just that. (And who knows!?! Maybe this info could be helpful to you or someone you know!) Back in my IWU days, I had a good friend/work buddy whose mom was also a professor at the school. Through my friend, I got to know her mom, and she was (and still is!) the kindest, gentlest lady. A few days ago, my friend posted
a link to her mom's website, where her teacher training and curriculum are now available. Roxie has spent decades researching the best ways to teach students to read so they can succeed - even those who struggle! I have a passion for reading, as you know, so I'm excited for Roxie that she has is able to share what she's tried and tested for so long!

A dessert bar restaurant? I'm on board with that. This one is in New York City (a place we've never been, but want to try once in our lives), but I love the concept. All dessert, all the time. Yes.

If you love organization, I'm pretty sure you'll swoon over
this post. I don't own (anymore) nearly the level of craft supplies this blogger has, but I do own STUFF, and I think this is just lovely in every. single. way.
Five.
Graduation season is here, you know. Need some fresh gift ideas? You can find some fun ones
here! (I needed a new round of inspiration for this year's batch of grads!) Also...side note...when I hunted on Pinterest for graduation ideas, some really not-helpful posts came up. Apparently most regular bloggers don't do posts on this topic!!

If you've always wanted your own private island (and have, you know, a few million to spare) -
I have the perfect place for you!

Private island?? Yes please (:
I am listening to the Tuesday Postcast and I just love laughing with you guys.
Thanks for the Austin Hewitt update article...so very inspiring,l particularly the support he received from his fellow choir members. Hooray for them! The story included a picture of the Greentown Subway...my haunt every other week after I finished my massage. Steve, thankfully, didn't mind having Subway sandwiches for dinner and I loved being able to walk next door to pick up dinner. I even recognized the flooring!! Lois
Tamar - Gather your millions and we'll come visit you! LOL!!!
Katie - OH that makes me smile! Thank you!!
Lois - I am not sure how I managed to forget that you made regular pilgrimages to Greentown when you were here! Yes, that's a good little Subway! Ryan's brother (not the one almost his age, but the other one) has worked there off and on for many years, and he told us they were going to build a new location in town, but so far they don't seem to have broken ground for it. (They don't have a drive thru where they are now, so a new place would allow for that.)
