This And That * We all know that song, “Do You Want To Build A Snowman?” Well, I have thought about, and I say no, I don’t want to. I want to build a sandcastle on a beach in the Caribbean.

This And That * Don’t ask permission to fly. The wings are yours and the sky belongs to no one.

This And That * They say to listen to your inner voice… well, mine wants me to quit my job and move to the beach. * On Tuesday, March 3rd, skywatchers will get a front row seat to witness a total lunar eclipse where the full moon shifts into a rich copper red gold.

Love you, Dad My Dad passed away twenty years ago on February 16th, 2006. It doesn’t seem possible he has been gone that long because I feel him in my heart every day.

Happy Birthday to my sweet Sadie! Here are a few loving notes I found to let you know how much you are loved—if you don’t know already….. “There are a million things I still want to teach you, but you somehow end up teaching me even more.

This And That * “We’re All In This Together!” I can’t believe that “High School Musical” is 20 years old! I love all the songs and the dancing sequences choreographed by the one and only Kenny Ortega! And just so you all know, I was gifted with a Troy Bolton key ring that I used for many years until it fell apart. * Do the schools still have the students cut out silhouettes of Washington and Lincoln for Presidents Day? * I agree with this….If the temperature outside is younger than I am, don’t invite me to go anywhere.

This And That * I don’t know if I even did anything wrong, because I am pretty sure I followed the directions exactly, since I took two rights and a left, and ended up on the gangplank of a cruise ship! * Do other people have the same problem? I am terrible at waking up and even worse at going to sleep. * Remember that every once in a while, you will be standing right in the middle of a moment that will be one of your most precious memories in years to come.

This And That * Make sure to include yourself in the list of things you need to take care of this week. * Someone wrote that sometimes their thoughts get boring, so they go out for a stroll through their mouth.

This And That * As the Sentinel-Times navigates these next few months as we settle into a routine and work to cover the news from around the county, please remember, I will make mistakes, even though I am “practically perfect in every way,” like my friend, Joan Balderston. I am excited for this new adventure and look forward to what’s in store for the Sentinel-Times! * I don’t know where life will take me in 2026, but I do hope it needs a passport! * Here is a little travel tip…..If you book a cruise for next Thanksgiving or Christmas, you won’t have to cook or cleanup! * Now that the holidays are over, it is time to start counting down to the pool days and it getting dark at 9:00 p.m.! * Someone took a poll of who the best Batman of all time is and actor Christian Bale was chosen as the overwhelming favorite.

This And That * I have been a fan of the Fast and Furious movie series since Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner got behind the wheels of their fast cars in 2001. I love all the characters and, as Vin Diesel says in the movie and also in the real world, “they are family.” Plus, they added memorable characters along the way, with some of my favorites being Lucas Black, Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Idris Elba, and Helen Mirren.
