No Old School Monday until Sept!

Hello Moms!

Summer business and travel are upon most of us, so I think we will suspend our official OSM for the rest of the summer. BUT if anyone wants to gather for any other reason, please feel free to suggest something!

AND when we have our first OSM in Sept--on the 27th, by my calendar--we will have a Back to School party, with our "annual" Summer Adventures Show and Tell. So as you have family adventures this summer, keep in the back of your mind how you could get your kids interested in some schoolish way to share it later, like a picture book, a travel journal, a collage, etc. I strongly recommend making writing be a requirement! Each interested family can make a table display. See our last year's write up for ideas.

Have a great summer, everyone!

P.S. I want to talk with all of you more this next fall about making times that are good for everyone. So if you were not able to come with the switch to afternoon, let's talk about that! I care about all of you, and miss those who we have not seen for a while. : )

Proposing a Happy Hollows Field Trip!

Hello Vintage Moms!

I would like to propose an "end of the school year" field trip to Happy Hollows in San Jose. Our family has never been there, and it seems like a good time to go. If we get 14 or more people, we can get a very nice group discount ($8 per ticket instead of $12). My little family can account for 4 of these--anyone else want to join us?

Please email me or let me know in the comment here that you are interested, and then we can set up a date. I think it should be soon, before the school kids get out, but will be very flexible. : )

Vintage Music!

I just heard about this very cool website: http://www.kiddierecords.com/

As their homepage reads:

Kiddie Records Weekly began in 2005 as a one year project devoted to the golden age of children's records. This period spanned from the mid forties through the early fifties and produced a wealth of all-time classics. Many of these recordings were extravagant Hollywood productions on major record labels and featured big time celebrities and composers.

Over the years, these forgotten treasures slipped off the radar and it became our mission to give them a new lease on life by sharing them with today's generation of online listeners. Each week throughout the year we'll add a new recording. We took a break in 2008, returning in 2009 for one final year.

So whether you are hearing these records for the first time or reuniting with a childhood favorite from long ago, we hope you take great pleasure in your trip down memory lane!

Vacation Bible School with Bella

I was wondering if you could post on the blog the details to both as she would love to have girlfriends join her!! They have scholarships available for both church camps too, so don't let money discourage anyone. Here are the details:
