Weekly Quote, Tip, Riddle & Recipe
 
WEEKLY QUOTE -   “Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.”     
Simone Weil

WEEKLY TIP -   If your child is going to a faraway college this fall, this is the time to investigate housing options. Keep in mind that while off-campus rents may be cheaper than the rent for a dorm unit, utilities, food, and commuting costs may offset the apparent savings.
   
WEEKLY RIDDLE - Kelsey is 16, and she just learned how to drive. She was on the other side of the road yesterday morning, but did not get a ticket even though a police car saw her. Why?    
 
Last week’s riddle:
They come at night without being called. They are lost in the day without being stolen. What are they?
    
Last week’s answer:
Stars.

Recipe of the week!

Melody shares this delish recipe and it's SUPER easy to make this recipe vegetarian. Simply sub out the beef for extra veggies! Bell peppers, spinach, and red onions would all be great additions.


Send us your favorite recipes and a photo of you with your dish and we will feature it in an upcoming newsletter!
