~STORIES BY SHERYL S.~

Fun Fridays [True Story]

Me, my sister Kathy, and her husband Bob go out on a Friday every once in  a while. 

Last night we went to Chinese buffet down by Target and had a great time. 

The food was delicious. Then we went shopping at Super Meijer. 

The End.

Trip to the Zoo

Shirley and her family were excited. They were going to the zoo today. 

Lions, tigers, and bears enclosed in their caves were a sight to see. 

Shirley and her family gobbled down a cotton candy as they walked around. Shirley's favorite animals were the monkeys. 

What a fun day at the zoo. Nothing like precious memories. 

Life

Life has its ups and downs. Sometimes we struggle. I hope everyone's life is great, and the journey a blast and a half. 

The End.

Bad Days - Julie R

When I have a bad day, my program manager talks to me and I feel a little better. I also write in my journal. It helps, too. 

Musings of 2019 - Curtis McLeichy

Coldwater, MI *Photography by Alanda McRae*

    I like to talk about the weather and how I know it help's me to walk when it's nice. 

    I bathe in the sunshine and clean clothes more often during sunny weather. Sleeping is easier and I feel better in general. 

    I don't forget to eat, listen to music, enjoy television - I even remember to visit my doctor on time when the weather is positive.  

    Now I get a ride to school and doctor appointments. I save money and time. I now use up very little space and have much more time to understand people and read things for school.  

December Birthdays

 There is an absurdly long list of people born in December. So, because everyone is busy - just wish them the happiness they deserve in our comments.

And for goodness sake, get them an actual birthday card - don't just combine them with the holiday card you send. It's so rude. You wouldn't like it if they combined Easter with your birthday, so try to show some heart. 

This goes for the January birthdays, too. Making myself very clear. 

Shout out to the following folks who were actually loved enough to be sent in on time! (The Tardiness is entirely my fault!)
