May our daughters be like stately columns which adorn the corners of a palace.

Movie Review: Marmaduke
Written by Songbird
The movie Marmaduke features a large Great Dane who just wants to fit in with the other dogs around him. When Marmaduke's owner, Phil Winslow, gets a job in California as a marketing director of an organic pet food business along with a company car, it seems like the perfect time for the whole family to move. So Phil, his wife Debbie, his two kids Barbara and Brian, their cat Carlos, and Marmaduke pack up and head off to start a brand new life. All Marmaduke wants is to find some new friends who would accept him for who he is at the dog park they moved by. He is immediately accepted by the "Mutts" (MAizy, Raisin, and Giuseppe) at the dog park, but the "Pedigrees" refuse to accept any dog who is not up to their standards. Marmaduke is obsessed with being accepted and catching the eye of a pedigree collie named Jesebel so that he is willing to do anything to make the other dogs accept him. So much that he loses his friends who really cared about him. While Marmaduke is getting himself into trouble, Phil is not listening to his kids, Brian and Barbara, who are becoming really unhappy with the move to California. MAizy helps Marmaduke become accepted into the pedigree group, however, once he is accepted, he begins to ignore her compleatly and instead befriends Jezebel. Throughout the movie Marmadke finally realizes hat he is not being kind to his friends, and that everyone should be treated equally no matter if they are a mutt or a pedigree. He goes back and becomes freinds again with Maizy, Raisin, and Giuseppe. Phil finally realizes that he needs to listen to his kids and not be so obsessed with his job. And the whole movie brings the family closer together. Marmaduke is a story or courage, friendship, loyalty, honestly, accepting others, and dealing with your mistakes. I was skeptical when I started the movie Marmaduke however, I found it to be a hilarious, heartwarming, family friendly movie, which the whole family can enjoy.
Summer Is Officially Over
Written by @ l ; n @
Summer is full of various activities, some things I really enjoy in the summer are swimming (plus, there's no school! : -) ) and plenty of time to read, draw and listen to/make music. But not it's time to get back into the swing of the regular school year. And, of course, that means back to Co-op! :-)
We SURVIVED! Synopsis Of The First Day Of Co-op
Written by Songbird
Wow, we have officially now entered this semester of Co-op. We have had our first week already under our belts. The first day of Co-op was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, and there was a cool breeze. It was what I consider perfect back to school weather. You know it's a Co-op when you arrive and see a sea of minivans scattered all throughout the parking lot. But once in side Co-op is a very busy place. Students and teachers alike were dashing to their classes and catching up with old friends in the hall ways for as long as they could before they had to get to where they needed to be. Students went from class to class all throughout the day enjoying learning about the many things that they weill accomplish this semester. I think that the first day of Co-op went really well and also was a lot of fun. I am anticipating great things happening at Cornerstone Co-op this semester!
Guess What!
