Claiborne, sleeping (Holyfields' Pug)
Lucky (Holyfields' Lab) 
Max, Lyric & their cousin, Noodles (Odd Family's dogs)National Dog Day
When : Always August 26th
National Dog Day has two goals: to honor dogs, and to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse. It's an opportunity for us to recognize and appreciate the value and importance of dogs in our lives.
This day is intended to honor dogs for all that they do for us. In addition to giving love and companionship, dogs help us out in countless ways. They are watchdogs for our safety. They lead the blind. Dogs aid in search and rescue, and they seek out bombs and drugs.
The second goal of National Dog Day is to rescue dogs in need. On occasion, dogs need us to save them from homelesness and abuse. The goal of the National Dog Day foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs a year. Lend a hand to help a dog in need today, or any day.

When times are tight, dollars count more than ever, especially when it comes to your hard-earned vacation. It's no surprise, therefore, that getaways that promise plenty of perks without blowing your budget are the most popular—among them all-inclusive resorts and, especially, cruises. More than ever, cruise lines are catering to both wallet-watchers and the busy-bees (basically all of us)—the people who want a vacation that delivers all of the relaxation of ship, sea, and sky within the work-friendly time-frame of a long weekend (four nights or less) and at a reasonable price. Carnival Cruise lines, for example, is running multiple 2- and 3-day trips to the Caribbean, and other lines, such as Norwegian, Princess, and Holland America, have followed suit with tantalizing mini-trips of their own. Whether you're looking to be pampered, make new friends, explore new territory, or just kick-back and relax on a hassle-free getaway, these are the cruise quickies you need to know about. Read on for the best of the best—all conveniently under $500 per person (some for as low as $149).

In Memory of Our Mother, Pearlena Hay Bell
April 30, 1919 - August 19, 1979Thirty years have passed --
and only by God's grace have
we managed to go on
all this time without you.
But -- without a doubt, your
legacy lives on -- a legacy
of nurturing, humor and
unconditional love. What a
wonderful genuine human being
you were. There's never a time
when your offspring are together that
one of your jokes, expressions or
demeanor does not surface, bringing
us joy. You were and still are -- our
"true North" and profound example of
"living on through others". Because --
as long as we live, you live. You can
NEVER be forgotten. We will
always love and adore you.
