Happy Birthday, TRC

Happy 1st birthday, The Real Clubhouse!


Today we celebrate 1 full year at our new location. We are not quite a teenager, yet.  I believe next month we celebrate 10 years of independent blogging and friendship. We can count even more if you figure in our original news site where we all met.  My, how the time flies!

It has been an honor meeting and getting to know you all! 

To any readers, please join us in comments, fun and frolics. We welcome your addition!

It beats being being the "testee" and being judged, but it is just as stressful a process to watch.
Have you ever sat for the SAT, ACT, IB, AP or another 4-5 hour high stakes test?

My Daily Excitement, Not!

Two Osprey helicopters just buzzed my house, rattling my windows. Stepped outside and saw the presidential helicopter behind them, heading down to Kenosha. Couple of my neighbors also came out because of the huge roar overhead. You would think they'd fly a little higher to keep from breaking windows. Not a fan....
