Kennenbec Valley Community College in Fairfield has been evacuated this morning. According to the Kennebec Journal, there was a bomb threat in Carter Hall.
Being thankful is never out of style. Yesterday, I was in Al Certified Auto Repair in Augusta. I just happened to be there as Jon Leach, the Executive Director of the Children’s Center in Augusta, stopped in to give ACAR a thank-you for supporting the recent Chili-Chowder Challenge. Then today I found wonderful card in my mailbox.
I love Stephen King. Not so much for his writings (I will address my issues on his books later in this note), but for who he is. He is a man of great personal success and a man who has shown he still has a heart, is grounded, compassionate and gees, kinda reasonable. Today I apply those descriptions of Mr. King on the issue of gun control.
Good things happening with keeping kiddos in school. The Maine Department of Education released a report recently showed that the four-year graduation rate for Maine schools rose for a third year in a row . The average is now 85.34 %. An increase is good, but there is always more work to be done.
OH what a day! To ring in spring I ignored the snow and headed to Mahala’s Day Spa on Western Avenue in Manchester. They offer manicures, pedicures, massage therapy, facials, waxing, and NovaLash extensions. (I want lash extensions!) It was fab. I had a shellac manicure and a pedicure. Shop local, save big and treat yourself to Mahala’s Day Spa! You deserve it.
Last day of winter was a snowy one. What else does one do on a snowy day? Yep, let the dogs “talk” you into going to the Augusta Dog Park. Shadow and I picked up our friend Ripley and off we went. We all had a good time running around chasing each other. Thanks Ripley and Shadow for playing with me! I need my exercise.
The budget issues in Washington D.C. are hitting close to home again. Looks like parts of Acadia National Park will open late this year and they will look at program cutbacks.
I was at KVCC for a class recently and was talking with a classmate. I discovered she had been a ballet dancer in Boston at one point. (Totally explains her graceful movements) But, she had also danced the flamenco! Then she tried to teach me some very basic moves. That is where it all went wrong, very wrong.
I took a road trip today to Norway. I was doing a favor for a friend. BUT on the way back, after a little shoe shopping, I found myself at the Oxford Casino. I had not been before and since I was in the neighborhood, I had to check it out.
