Are you ready to hop in your car and head to 7-11 for free slurpee day? On 7-11-11 you can run to all the 7-11′s around town and have a free 7 oz slurpee. My family and I make this into a family event. We have 4 7-Eleven’s near us and we go to each one and try different flavors. By the end of the 4th store we officially have brain freeze. (Don’t forget Chick-Fil-A Day 7-8-11)
Here is some good old fashioned family fun. Chick-Fil-A is having their annual dress like a cow and receive a free meal. Not just for the kids, ANYONE who is dressed like a cow qualifies. I know in years past you are still a winner of a free meal if you come in dressed in black and white. Need cow dressing tip? Chick-Fil-A is there to help with that as well.

The Lake County Library System will be hosting 4 Square Foot Gardening classes, each a one hour long introduction to All New Square Foot Gardening. The classes will include the foundations, fundamentals, and techniques of the Square Foot Gardening method created by Mel Bartholomew. Steve Earls of SFG Supply in Eustis is certified by the Square Foot Gardening Foundation to teach the Square Foot Gardening Method. Upon completion of the class, students will have the knowledge necessary to begin gardening the Square Foot Gardening way. Classes will be offered at the W.T. Bland Public Library, Friday, January 28th at noon; Marion Baysinger Memorial County Library, Tuesday, February 1 at 6:30 p.m.; Paisley County Library, Tuesday, February 15th at 11 a.m.; and Minneola Schoolhouse Library Saturday, March 5th at 10 a.m.
Square Foot Gardening is a simple, unique and versatile system that adapts to all levels of experience, physical ability, and geographical location. Grow all you want and need in only 20% of the space of a conventional row garden. This gardening method takes less space, less work, and less water and can be done on patios and decks.
Mel Bartholomew, a prominent engineer who retired early at the age of 42, took up gardening as a hobby, invented a new way to garden and became the author of “All New Square Foot Gardening”, the largest selling gardening book in America with over two million copies sold. His method has received worldwide recognition for its simplicity and uniqueness and has been written about in every major newspaper and gardening magazine in the country.

Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network launches today. I’ve been watching the count down, as I type there is less than 3 hours to go. Noticed the channel finder on the website is not working. That’s ok, I’ll channel surf. After watching Oprah since she went national 25 years ago, like most of America, I feel like I know her. So bring it on Oprah! We are ready for some wholesome tv watching.
My girlfriends and I made many attempts to get tickets to the show. I couldn’t even bring myself to watch the favorite things show this year. BooHoo, glad for them, sad for me. Perhaps if I put out a plea to Oprah as David Letterman did I can manage to have lunch with Oprah and Gail. Just for good measure can Bill Cosby join us? He’s on my bucket list.
Let’s hear what you have to think about OWN!
