Camp Cocoon

Camp Cocoon is a weekend camp for children and youth, ages 5-17, who have experienced the death of a loved one. Campers have the opportunity to meet peers who are going through similar loss situations. They share their stories and learn from each other while having fun in a safe and caring environment.

The camp is fully staffed by healthcare professionals consisting of doctors, chaplains, nurses, administrators, hospice providers and nursing home directors, many doubling in their camping roles as moms and dads. This year's session is from August 7-9 at Camp Chattooga, adjacent to Athens Y Camp, Tallulah Falls, Georgia.

If you have a child, or know of a child, who has experienced a significant loss in his or her life, let them know about Camp Cocoon. Click here to go to the website for more info.

A personal note: As a former hospice social worker, I can't start to praise this camp concept enough. Please, please get the word out- this can make a real difference for kids who are dealing with loss.

Apple Raisin French Toast Strata

This is a simple but elegant way to make breakfast fast. Assemble it the night before and bake while you're in the shower.


INGREDIENTS
1 (1 pound) loaf cinnamon raisin bread, cubed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, diced
1 cup diced peeled apples
8 eggs
2 1/2 cups half-and-half cream (I use soy milk and it works just fine)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup

DIRECTIONS
Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the cubed raisin bread in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the cream cheese evenly over the bread, and top with the apples. If you like extra raisins, add them now. Top with remaining bread.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, butter, and maple syrup. Pour over the bread mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and press down so that all bread pieces are soaked. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Two Thumbs Up

The other night I gave in to my insomnia and started watching TV. Since the only things playing at 3 AM are Sham-Wow informercials and 15 year-old episodes of Law and Order, I started looking on the Internet. On NBC.com, I discovered an awesome series. I don't remember ever seeing promos for it when it ran on network TV. It's called "Kings".

It's based on the King David story from the Old Testament, but set in the 21st century. There's King Silas Benjamin (King Saul of the tribe of Benjamin, first king of Israel), David Shepherd (David, the shepherd), the king’s son Jack (Jonathan), his daughter Michelle (Michal), and the Rev. Ephraim Samuels (the Prophet Samuel). It's filmed in New York City which has been turned into the city of Shiloh in the country of Gilboa.The writers have created a kingdom that's familiar, with taxis and plasma TVs and all the trappings of modern day but with biblical allusions at every turn. The Goliath in the show is a huge tank that David, a soldier, destroys in order to save a hostage who turns out to be the king's son. Then it really gets interesting.

There are five full episodes available online and the series resumes in June. Click here to view.

Well, my tentative entry into the brave new world of blogging seemed to go well- at least no one complained about it. I also blogged a couple of Hot Flashes.

Starting next week, instead of receiving the usual email newsletter, you'll receive a short note with a link to click to go to the newsletter blog. I think this will be an improvement in a number of ways.

First, sometimes pictures or links don't travel well from one ISP to another. This way, all of the images and links will show up on everyone's screen.

Second, it will be easier for moi- I send out the newsletter in batches, so that's about 20 emails each week. This way, I won't have that long wait as pictures load in each outgoing email. Quick and easy- that's a winner in my book.

Plus, it's interactive- feel free to leave comments, suggest other links and just let everyone know how and what you're doing...

So, please bookmark this site and feel free to visit often. I'll be adding Hot Flashes and other items of interest during the week.


What's On Sale?

Let's do the Wild Card Sale again. Pick a card to find out where your 30% off discount is. It could be pants and shorts, shoes and bags, infant wear, dresses and sets, even storewide...who knows? And we believe in do-overs. If you don't like your first card, feel free to draw again!


There's CA$H in your closet!

Since the economy began it's precipitous nosedive, N2N has been doing all of it's buying in exchange for credit in the shop. That move has kept us solvent and in business while so many other shops have folded.

Now, we've decided to stick our toes back into the cash buying waters...each week, we'll be doing cash buying for one area in the shop that really needs inventory. This week, it's SCRUBS.

Here's how it works... bring your scrubs that are in perfect condition. We'll buy them for cash. You can bring in other clothing and accessories as well- we'll buy them for credit as usual. Please pack your scrubs separately and let us know that you have cash items when you come in. Buying hours are the same: Monday thru Thursday 10AM to 4PM and other times by prior arrangement.

They have a Camp Permission Statement with some additional fine print, but it sounds like a pretty cool activity to me. Click here to find the closest Apple store.
