Tonight was the night for the 4th Annual Downtown Danville Doggie Night! A good time was had by all!

Each participating business provided a sticker to document that you made it by. Drawings for prizes were awarded from those who dropped their completed sheet at Molly's Pup-Purr-ee. The primary sponsor of this event was Molly's Pup-Purr-ee, who had multiple vendors with booths set up in their parking lot. I am happy to say that I found several options f... 06/12/2008

“…enjoy it…it goes by so fast and those where some of the most memorable times in our lives” They try to get us to realize it when we are in Elementary School…then High School…then College…then when we start our Career…then when we get Married…then when our Children are Born…then Raising our Children and being with them while they grow up.  Our parents and those older than us, who have the most experience because they have already lived what we are experiencing today, try to make sure we slow down long enough to appreciate the moment…to appreciate what we have today because they know how awesome it truly is…they have already lived it.  Unfortunately for so many of us we are too preoccupied with the opportunities of tomorrow to slow down long enough to appreciate the gift of today.    I... 06/03/2008
