In case you missed it last week:

The N2N Crew wants to let you know about an exciting new development.

From now on, rather than have First Friday Sales (50% off store wide on the first Friday of each month) we're going to make ultra-discount shopping much easier and convenient for you!

We're going to DOUBLE, even TRIPLE our number of half price shopping days! Some will be on week days; some will be on weekends...

Just go to our Facebook page and click 'like." You'll automatically receive our half price announcements!

The rules for these half-price shopping days are the same as First Friday- 50% off the original price of everything in the shop. You can pay with cash, credit/debit or check. You may use your store credit but the discount won't apply.

My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Times here in Gainesville. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.

My column, "12 million reasons to spay, neuter" ran on Friday, June 8th.

Arthur's column, "Free apps are fine, but some are worth paying for" was published June 9th. Click here to read it.

Movie Night!

One of my favorite summer activities is the Arts Council's Movies on the Green at the Arts Depot in downtown Gainesville.

Movies begin at dusk on a 35 foot inflatable screen. The gates open at 7:30 pm so that you and your family can enjoy a host of fun activities before the movie including face painting, magicians, art stations and a jump house. There are also food vendors selling everything from hot dogs and pizza to popcorn and ice cream.

Bring your quilts, lawn chairs, picnics and frisbees out to enjoy an evening under the stars.

This summer's movies include "Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked", "16-Love"starring Gainesville's own Chandler Massey and "The Lorax."

If you love documentaries, here's one for your favorites list- free, full length streaming documentaries on every imaginable topic! Click here to start watching.

The National Wildlife Foundation has a wonderful site with great ideas for exploring the outdoors: The Great Backyard Campout (June 23rd), the Be Out There Movement aimed at getting kids out of the house, suggestions on how to turn your garden into a NWF Certified Wildlife Habitat, live bald eagle cams (I watched eagle chicks hatch just the other day!) and lots, lots more.

Seen the Grand Canyon? What about the Everglades? Plan a trip to one of these amazing family destinations while your kids are still little
(or at least before they're out of the nest altogether!)

Here's a list of must-see places to visit before the kids are grown.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of that iconic film, "Dirty Dancing", Skinny Cow Ice Cream is giving girlfriends across the country a reason and opportunity to reconnect with their best friends, slip on their dancing shoes and enjoy themselves. A partnership between the Skinny Cow brand and "Dirty Dancing" has created the "Dirty Dancing" tour.

The tour kicked-off on May 22 in New York City. Throughout the summer, in select cities across the country, fans will have the chance to enjoy exclusive screenings of the film, participate in movie trivia, have the opportunity to win door prizes and indulge in Skinny Cow treats. Think red carpets and swag bags.

To participate, log on to Facebook.com/TheSkinnyCowUS and register to have an amazing time at a special screening party of the celebrated film. Sign up will open for each city three weeks prior to the event date. The Atlanta tour stop is July 17-19. Free tickets will be available beginning June 26th.

Let's ALL go!

Whatcha Eatin'?

Evelyn Asher sent us this recipe for roasted chickpeas (garbanzo beans.) It is simple and results in a crunchy snack that will remind you of nuts.

Except, these aren't nuts - they are beans! They are filling, healthy and inexpensive. Just like roasting vegetables, you simply add some olive oil, flavors, and cook at a high temperature.

Click here to give it a try. Thanks, Evelyn!
