On Friday, I finished our next issue -- and I just wanted to say THANK YOU to our contributors, many of whom read this board. You all outdid yourselves. I have been here since January, and I am fairly confident in saying that I believe this is my favorite issue yet! I am particularly patriotic. My house is decorated in American flags. A few months ago, I remember my daughter saying, "Ours is the only house where it's always the 4th of July." That made my heart smile. After you read our Northwest Voice, try to find a copy of the Southwest Voice, too (after, though--because a few of the stories repeat in the Northwest Voice, and I want you to see the NWV fresh for the first time). The cover on the Southwest Voice is AMAZING. I put out a call for photos and I used one of the contributed photos as the cover photo (same with NWV this week, which has an equally wonderful cover photo). When you read it, I hope you feel my passion for our country and to everyone who has helped make it as great as it is today. I hope you appreciate the love and passion of our fellow readers/contributors, who submitted patriotic-themed stories and photos. I love my job all the time, but it's moments like these when I think I am the luckiest person on the planet to have the pleasure of knowing people like you all (y'all? you guys?). Thank you for making my job so much better and easier. Love & appreciation, Dana This weekend, my family and I spent some time on the Colorado River, where their grandparents live. Before you get envious--it was 119 degrees in the shade. We had a great time on the beach and on the boat. I had my camera (for our contribution to the Voice on Vacation fun!) and was taking photos of the kids playing "3 flies up" in the water. At one point, I noticed that my daughter, Jaisyn, had stopped playing and was rubbing her temple. When I asked her what happened, she said, "Sam hit me in the head with his elbow and now I have a headache!" I hadn't seen it happen, but to my surprise, when I looked back through my photos... this is what I found and it has been the source of non-stop laughter ever since: <scroll down> . . . . |
