Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2. It is held in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end.

- 01/24/10 03:58 AM
Sunday Morning - Rain is Falling! One of my favorite songs by Maroon 5. There is nothing like a Sunday morning, when the rain is falling, and there is nothing else to do but cuddle up to a warm fire with a good book. Especially after a yummy breakfast consisting of whole wheat waffles topped with almonds, powdered sugar and some Trader Joe's maple syrup.
I love Sundays. It's a day for reflection and thankfulness. It's a day of rest and relaxation. It's a day where families gather together and worship their Creator. It's a day that starts the beginning of another fabulous week! Enjoy your … (6 comments)

We were poor welfare kids (and we knew it), who lived in HUD rentals, and waited in line once a month for free cheese and butter. As a child, … (9 comments)
