June 28, 2016 Finger Lakes Connected

We had just graduated college about a year prior. I had the job (in Chicago) and Sean was still looking. I helped him with his resume and we were wondering why he got no bites. REALLY wondering. Then late one night, he found the error. He burst into the bedroom and woke me up: How do you spell background? I answered how I always thought it was spelled (B-A-C-K-R-O-U-N-D).

Sorry, but I just never knew about the 'g' in the middle! Well, I guess you're never too old to learn new tricks, right? And if you have someone else do your resume, you should still check it over, correct? It's kind of like how many years later (last week) I relearned the appropriate way to use it's and its. Thank you to the two readers who wrote in to school me. It's (it is) nice to have followers but it's even better when they care enough to write in. So, the bird is alive and well. We hope its little legs may heal/develop quickly. Maybe letting nature take its course was the right thing.

Mistakes are the catalysts to learning so maybe we should celebrate them more? Have a safe and Happy Independence Day holiday weekend!

Blue Skies, Donna Bennett

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion

Do you have dry skin? Do you have itchiness in addition to dry skin? Do you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea? If so consider trying Skin MD. Skin MD is a shielding lotion that bonds with the outer layer of your skin to keep irritants out and natural moisture in. Skin MD is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer skin layer into a hydrating invisible shield. Depending on your skin condition many see improvement after a few days of daily use.

Stop into Canandaigua The Medicine Shoppe (66 West Ave) to see if Skin MD can help your skin.
