- Bridges ran its fourth post today. Click over to read one of our own: Luna from Life From Here. OH! And do not forget to go over there tomorrow for the True View thread. Please give us a glimpse into an aspect of your experience and/or respond to someone else's thoughts.
- Thank You: To Lindsay at Our Family Beginnings who is the most wonderful woman in the world and realizes how the music that plays in the background while your television family is talking can make a good security blanket to take on the road with you to a location casualty. As well as playing for me "Via Con Me" which just makes me smile.
- Connection: Please help if you can give support. Tigger writes, "I need help, information, something. Mom is starting to show signs of dementia, for lack of a better word. Hearing things, seeing things, NOT seeing things that are there. It could be the medication, it could be that the cancer is spreading to her brain. I am more equipped to deal with issues like depression, anxiety, sadness, sickness than I am with something akin to dementia. I don't know how to cope, what to do. Is there anyone out there who can shed some light, support, ideas?" Contact her through her blog or email her at tess_2k2@hotmail.com.
- Found!: If you read her years ago, you will immediately recognize this blogger from her old space. And if you read her years ago, you will be grinning to see this current space and meet up with her again. I, for one, have missed her a lot.
- Fundraising: Katie at Isn't TTC Supposed to be Fun is walking to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's Disease. If you wish to donate, you can find more information here about Memory Walk.
- Connection: The Happy Not-So-Newlywed says, "I am looking for bloggers who are in their mid-twenties and are facing IVF. My husband and I are starting down that road this next cycle and I would love to read along with other people in the same boat (being so young and doing IVF)." If you match the description, head over to her blog.
- Giveaway: If you are pregnant or parenting after IF, All Thumbs (run by Lori and Chicklet) are doing a book giveaway that might interest you.
- The IComLeavWe list for August is up. Join in the conversation--it's a week of increased comments and commenting (and hopefully picking up a few new permanent readers along the way). If you still have up the old icon for July, please take it down (the red one).
- If you notice another loading slow down or receive error messages for Stirrup Queens or Lost and Found, please let me know. Now I'm nervous every time I add anything to the side bar!

I always jump when I see myself on Lost and Found when I am not expecting it. I read that and thought, "Sunday? Really? Hmm...I guess it is." I love that you remembered before we did. :)
How sweet are you. Hope the music lets you have your happy place!
