I know Michael Phelps was good, but I didn't he was this good. I've really only been paying attention to two sports in the Olympics. One being the USA Men's Basketball Team and the other being Micheal Phelps on his way to becoming the greatest Olympian to every live.

April is finally here! I'm so excited because there are so many fun things to do in April. We'll go on a hike, and go swimming, work in the garden, visit the buffalo ranch, and more. The boys are finally old enough to really start having fun.

Hi What do you do for keep fit. I love dance, rollerblading, swimming and keep fit classes. I haven't been to any classes for a while though as they can be quite expensive and I'm looking for a new gym to join. The last gym I went to was really good. They had a pool, gym, sauna and classes. The pool was really clean aswell. I go rollerblading aswell and am looking aroud for some new skates. Any suggestions? At the moment I do some dancing in a studio nearby and go jogging 2 or 3 times a week.

Okay ya'll, as several of you know, it's HOT on the EAST coast. I dont' remember it being this hot last year. Am I right? Was it? This past week we've had excessive heat warnings first thing in the morning until 8 p.m. WOW! At first when I heard this I thought, yeah right it won't be that hot. Haha, I was wrong.

We tried going to the beach on the first day of the heat advisory but we only stayed for about an hour, that was just too much heat. I even got burned, hubby got it worse though, but his will tan mine won't. :( Not to worry, kids somehow didn't burn.

Most of us have heard the phrase, "You can’t win them all," many, many times, and, perhaps, even used it ourselves. There is a lot of truth in the statement, so it is probably a good idea, to not even try.

When we are children, we find out that there are certain bullies in the class that we, in most cases, make every effort to avoid. True, there are times when the behavior of the bully goes beyond what we can accept and we choose to fight, no matter what the outcome, but, in general, we avoid confrontation with cantankerous foes.

While we all know that the Winter Olympics this past year was our major entertainment this past year. We still have excellent memories of the Summer Olympics of 2004 that was held in Athens, Greece.

At an early age, Nancy experienced health problems that would daunt most of us, but her steadfast resolve and competitive nature have brought her through a myriad of broken bones and other illnesses. Since the 9th grade, she has had more than 20 surgeries, and was told she would be wheel-chair bound by the age of 30. So far, that prediction has not come true.
