DYK Thread for JULY




**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**


DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know


It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members


Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

We are! :)

Every July we go to a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia

It belongs to a doctor (and his wife) who work with Michael, and they let us use it each year when they're not there

It's very secluded, and it's on a lake, with nothing around

No TV, nothing but the lake and rowboats and nature

It's very peaceful, and we build campfires at night and just hang as a family

Michael takes the kids fishing, and we swim in the lake and go out on the rowboat

Sometimes we go hiking, but usually I stay home and read while he takes the kids hiking, since I'm not a huge fan of hiking, LOL

I don't even know what the name of the channel is

I changed it because it was freaking me out

I'm laying in bed with nothing but the TV on and I have music playing now

It's the Soft Rock Channel, in hopes I will get sleepy, LOL

OK, I just brushed my teeth

I'm going to call Michael to say Goodnight and then I'm turning everything off in hopes I will fall asleep

I think it's raining here too

I hear raindrops on the skylights in the bathroom

Or maybe it's just the wind??

It was clear earlier, I saw the moon

I think there's a wind blowing in off the Atlantic tonight, because I smelled the ocean when I took the recycle down

Goodnight!

sounds like fun! I have family in Virginia, but I haven't been up there since 1982. We will stop to visit family whenever we go to Washington, DC (another reason we want to go on our own instead of a school trip).

Aly LOVES the music channels. Her favorites are soundscape (instrumental), 70s (not disco--although I prefer disco over some of the other music on that channel), 80s, and screen & stage.

She likes Bio, Science, Discovery Kids, and Game Show Network. She hardly ever watches Disney channel anymore, which used to be on even as background noise in our house.

Mike isnt one to really argue with her until he's had enough, which means he really goes on a tangent about everything. Of course, after he went to bed, I had to deal with her crying and everything!

Jordyn is totally ready for her trip, she is so excited as always. but she is so spoiled when she goes to Michigan, its like heaven on earth to her. LOL!

Me on the other hand, I am going to miss her a ton, but its only 2 weeks this year, so not as bad as the 6 weeks she's usually gone.

We have a few things to do today to get her ready to leave.
