I absolutely love cats!  I grew up with them all my life and today I own two—a gray/white haired tabby named Cherry and a ginger tom named Mickey.  But this book isn’t about MY cats, it’s about one particular cat named “Bob. “

A Street Cat Named Bob draws you in right from the very start—at least it did for me!  I had no trouble “getting into the book,” since it was so comfortable to read and the characters were intriguing.

20 years ago, when Virginia Miller began working as a librarian at Roy Elementary, Paul Puzey, the Principal at the time, gave her some wise words of wisdom, “Make the library a safe and peaceful place.”  Miller says, “Those words have been the foundation of my career.” 

Total, she has spent 10 years as a librarian at Roy Elementary and 10 years at Lomond View Elementary where she will retire in May.

“I felt like Lomond View had the same similarities as Roy. I feel I have worked at two of the finest schools in Weber District.”

On Valentine’s Day a horrific mass shooting occurred in Parkland, Florida. Seventeen lives were lost to senseless violence. In the weeks following the shooting, the anti-gun agenda has gained shocking momentum. Teens across the country called for stricter gun control and demanded the government take immediate action.

A Closer Look at Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is the most common cancer and will affect one in five Americans during their lifetime. It occurs when abnormal skin cells grow out of control.

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 cup vinegar

1 1/4 cup water

Shake gently to combine ingredients, spray in your stove. Let sit for a little bit and voila, a brand new looking stove!!!!!

Fruits are not only tasty and easily available, but they are one of nature’s potent sources of vitamins, minerals, and a host of other nutrients. Eating these super foods at the right time and with the right combination of other foods can go a long way in ensuring that your body fully absorbs all the vitamins, fiber, and healthy carbohydrates that it needs to function in good health. Ancient Ayurveda texts are very descriptive on how to get the best out of fruits without causing unwanted side effects, like bloating, gas, and heartburn.

The U.S. Constitution was completed after much debate when at a point where much frustration was evident, and some delegates had left frustrated, Benjamin Franklin said in essence: If God notices the fall of a sparrow, is it likely that a nation can rise without his notice?”  He then proposed that each session of the Constitutional Convention begin with prayer to seek Divine assistance. His proposal was accepted and implemented.  From that time on, progress was made until the Constitution was signed and later ratified by the States.
