“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you,
not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet
somewhere. They're in each other all along.”
- Maulana Jalalu'ddin Rumi
(30 Sept 1207 - 17 Dec 1273)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

Summer's winding down, but there's still time for some good ol' summer dance music!

The song peaked at #2 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (#1 in Cash Box and Record World) and at #3 in the U.K. It also topped the charts in Germany, Switzerland and Norway.

NEWS FLASH:

     From Me ('65) of NC - 08/22/14 - "Facebook":

   After years and years of stubborn resistance, I have at long last relented and joined Facebook. I think it's a federal mandate or something.....

From My Granddaughter, Ashlee Huber, of Alberta - 08/23/14 - "Reading":

ABSOLUTELY! Thanks, Ashlee!

From My Friend, Rob, of NC - 08/23/14 - "Math Word Problems":

Thanks, Rob!
      This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite pages on the site. That's right, boys and girls! From ten years ago, it's The Saga of the Two Trains!

http://www.nnhs65.com/TRAINS-SAGA.html

     From Me ('65) of NC - 08/23/14 - "Peppermint Panels":

   Yes, yes, it's true that I spend most of the time when I'm away from my computer in bed watching tellybision, but I'm usually crocheting as I do so.
   I finished this little throw on August 6.

   In late 1999, I bought a crochet magazine ("Crochet Fantasy presents Christmas Crochet") which featured this Maggie Weldon pattern for a 44" x 74" afghan she named Peppermint Panels. I've been wanting to crochet one for all these years, so I finally made this little fraction of it instead.

   The instructions are not currently available online; I just thought you'd like to know!

From www.ajokeaday.com - 08/23/14:

An old man was afraid that his wife was losing her hearing, so, he walked up right to her ear and asked, "Can you hear me?"
