Have You Noticed...?

Have you noticed how often we use there's in place of there're? So, according to what we learned in elementary, there's = there is (singular) and there're = there are (plural). Why do I hear so many (and I do mean many) people say things like, "There's so many people... or there's a few reasons..."? I just read an article on MSN Health & Fitness that quoted a lady as saying, "There's thousands of babies born that way every year." So what she actually said was, "There is thousands of babies born that way every year." There is so many people..., there is a few reasons. I hear this in person, on TV, and I read it. Every day! It bugs me so much. What's happening to our grammar?

My New Ride

Well, though my Nellie (my Corolla) has served me very well in Mexico I'm hoping to turn over the keys to a new owner soon. In other words I'm selling her to make room for my new blessing. Thanks to Mr. R. Davies of California I now have the Title to a 2000 Dodge Durango.

A Day in Jersey

So Friday we were able to treat the kids to a day at the park. There is a park here called Jersey because it is owned by a company called Jersey which is a major producer of milk products. To enter the park you must present three tops to any of their products. So we asked the kids to save or find three of these tops. All of them showed up with their permission slips and lunch and we loaded the van for a day in Jersey.

Happy Easter!

Spring

Hello all. I know, it's been way too long since I have written. Please forgive me. Hopefully, this will work because I've been having problems with my site.

Anyway, the U.S. decided that Daylight Saving time would come earlier this year and Mexico stayed the same. So right now Ensenada is not part of the Pacific time zone. Weird, huh?

On the first day of spring we had a party with the kids. They love pizza, so once again I ordered a pizza. This time I got one that has 60 square slices. It's huge! But before we ate we did one of my favorite crafts. We took some stick pretzels and dipped them in chocolate frosting and stuck them together to make a bird's nest. Then we gave them speckled malted eggs and several different jelly beans to put in the bottom. On top of the eggs sat a yellow marshmallow Peep's chick. So the end result was a mother bird sitting on her nest of eggs. It's so cute.
