Panther Time
Panther loves to snuggle and burrow into your neck after she wakes up from a nap. It’s one of my favorite things about her recently.

Monday and Tuesday, we closed school early because it was so hot. We had temperatures close to 100 degrees and our school is not even close to being air-conditioned (and no, they didn’t put air conditioning in the new school building opening August 2008!). I have never heard of schools closing because of the heat, but I was so thankful our school was pressured to close because surrounding schools shut down. Peer pressure can be a great thing.

NPR has run numerous stories on rising gas prices. Many clips have created interesting questions about the far reaching effects of the high prices at the pump - a recent one felt like they heard my concerns and responded with a story about states like Montana and it’s residents, who have long drives and small wages.
But there have been some major flops with the coverage on the gas prices.
A few weeks ago, just about when Connecticut went over the $4.00 mark, a reporter did some interviews at a gas station in DC. Five or six people were interviewed and every single one of them was lamenting that they were officially paying more at the pump than they ever had before. Really?! That’s what I call front page (speaker?) news…high prices at the pump.
And yet, today as I filled up the car and the price went over $40.00, I couldn’t help but think, “Wow, that’s the first time I have ever paid that much for a single tank of gas with this car…”

We took Panther for her first bike ride on Saturday. I have a strong mesh attachable basket that is made for groceries or as we discovered, dog like Panther. She laid down in the basket and enjoyed the wind in her hair. We ended up at the beach and got some good exercise.
I felt like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

Anne of Green Gables turns 100 this year. Anyone want to go to Prince Edward Island for the celebration?
