My wife turned my SUV into a community bus!
Category: Entertainment Written by Gwendolyn Baines
(NNPA)—Dear Gwendolyn:
Last year I bought a new SUV and within three months my wife had turned it into a community bus. We have two children. Our son is 12 and our daughter is 10. They are both into activities. My son plays football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and tennis. My daughter is a cheerleader and takes sewing lessons at a school of fashion design. My wife is going to enroll her into an art class tutored by a famous artist and eventually she will be enrolled in piano lessons. This is the problem: Some of their friends participate in the same activities and they are transported to and from the activities by my wife. Also, often these children come to our house afterward and are there until my wife takes them home.
Gwendolyn, I refuse to accept this any longer. I feel we are being used.—Jim

The invitation contained everything you needed to know to have fun.
Well, almost everything…
You knew the date and time and where to be. You knew who was throwing this shindig. But the invite didn’t say a word about what to wear.
So, naturally, you showed up dressed to the nines, sporting shiny things on your fingers and ears. Unfortunately, everybody else was in shorts and tees, and you stuck out like a sunflower in a parking lot.

Cover To Cover...‘The Sound of Kwanzaa’
Category: Entertainment Written by Terri Schlichenmeyer
For many weeks now, you’ve been listening to Christmas music. Maybe you’ve even sung some carols yourself.
You’ve seen Christmas ads on TV, and by now, you probably already watched a few Christmas cartoons and specials. If you haven’t already, you’ll soon be hearing “ho-ho-ho” and jingle bells, “Merry Christmas” and other sounds of the holidays.

But if you listen after Christmas, you’ll hear joyful noises for another special celebration. In the new book “The Sound of Kwanzaa” by Dimitrea Tokunbo, illustrated by Lisa Cohen, you’ll learn what those noises mean.
