Good morning everyone!

I hope you are all looking forward to a nice long weekend.   Most all kids,  whether public school or private school,  have no classes on Monday in honor of President's Day.    I am so excited about the weather that I had to put the gorgeous warm looking sunshines on the right sidebar!   Speaking of gorgeous....my favorite part of today's email is the Jon Bon Jovi photo!  If I didn't already have plans I'd have snagged those tickets from Christene in today's GarAha!ge sale!

Have a great long weekend everyone...and if you don't have anything to do on Monday why don't you grab some of the supplies that the CAC needs and take them over to Sandy Springs with your kids!audra signature
