Quotable Friday
“If you work hard at your job, you can make a living;
but if you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune.”
– Jim Rohn
Go to Imagination Stage… for Lyle The Crocodile!
This morning we went to ‘Lyle The Crocodile’ at
The show was great!
And with seats starting at $10 and going up to $21,
you can’t go wrong.
Parking is easy, with a parking garage a few steps away.
The cast was great!
Another little bonus- their website shows you the theater’s seating chart, what seats are still available,
AND shows you the view from that seat when you move your cursor over it!
ENJOY!
Take The Trolley! A Little Field Trip
Do you want a little ‘Field Trip’… that’s EASY?
Take a ride on the Bethesda Trolley!
The ‘Bethesda Circulator’ goes all through Bethesda and the route takes about 30 minutes-
best of all- it’s FREE!
You can catch it anywhere you see a ‘Bethesda Circulator’ sign,
a good place to start is the Barnes and Noble Fountain on the corner of Bethesda Ave. and Woodmont.
There’s parking right there and you can get a great snow cone to finish your trolley ride on that corner too!
Enjoy!

If you page down, you can see that I have always had a category for ‘Great Quotes’…
From time to time, I’m going back to some of my favorites-
This is a great one- that I first discovered about a year ago-
“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people,
promptly announces she never did care for pie.”
~Tenneva Jordan
Toys, Toys Everywhere…
It is great to be organized; but what do you do when you cannot fit another ‘organizer’ in your living room?
I have 8, yes, 8 toy baskets in my living room, all in various shades of green. And no, I’m not proud of this.
It started out innocently enough-
I’m pretty neat and tidy. I don’t want toys just lying around everywhere. I want structure, not chaos…
‘Let’s get some toy baskets! Perfect! We can just throw toys in them, and things will be ‘put away’…’
And then I just kept getting more baskets…
To put toys, and toys, and toys in.
And I swear I de-clutter on a pretty regular basis!
But I have baskets everywhere now-
I have baskets for Legos, cars, trucks, marble games, Tinker Toys, more cars, more trucks, and I even have a little basket for the 4 remotes we have (don’t even get me started on that one).
I like a house to be lived-in, and use every room, but this is getting ridiculous!
Will there ever be a day that I don’t have hundreds of matchbox cars and hotwheels cars in rooms all over the house?
When will I stop finding little lego pieces in the couch?
Will there ever be a time that I don’t see a Dr. Seuss book in a corner?…

Quotable Friday !
Welcome to Quotable Friday!
I love great quotes- they make us think, they inspire, and bring a smile to our faces.
So here it is. Here’s this Friday’s quote.
Thanks to my friend Bianca, for passing it along!
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Go To White’s Ferry- and Cross the Potomac!
Bored of the Pool?
Take a ‘Field Trip’ to White’s Ferry!
If you live in Montgomery County, MD or Leesburg, VA and the surrounding areas-
it’s an easy trip!
White’s Ferry is a ferry service offering transportation across the Potomac river between Maryland and Virginia. It’s located just north of Leesburg on the Virginia side and about 6 miles west of Poolesville on the Maryland side.
Vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists are welcome. The fare for cars is $4 for one way and $7 for a roundtrip crossing.
They also have an old country store that serves lunch, and picnic tables!
NOW THE IMPORTANT PART:
This is a fun little trip for kids… My son had never been on a ferry before, so he loved it.
BUT, it lasts for about 4 or 5 minutes,
and goes very slow,
SO OLDER KIDS may not think it’s that cool of a ‘field trip’…
If you live close- do it;
If you don’t live close, BUT have LITTLE kids,
still do it.
The drive is nice, Historic Leesburg is nice too,
(and the Leesburg outlets are right there too).
ONE OTHER COOL THING: You pass Homestead Farm in Poolesville, coming from Montgomery County,
Yes, the Homestead Farm of Pumpkin Patch fame,
only now- you can stop in and pick your own Peaches and Blueberries,
And you know how much I love Blueberries!
