On a fine sunny day a ship was in the harbor. All of a sudden
the ship began to sink. There was no storm and nothing wrong
with the ship yet it sank right in front of the spectators eyes.
What
caused the ship to sink?

this riddle can be found towards the end of this newsletter.

Home decor and gift idea ---
I found this article which I'm using with permission
about murals that I thought you'd enjoy this week.
I always thought of getting one but wasn't sure
about the acceptability of it in other's eyes. That's a
pretty interesting issue for me because I'm usually one
who goes forth pretty much with whatever I want and
feel passionate about. Still, how much should we also
want to make our family or friends, neighbors, visitors
to our home, feel comfortable or welcome? Would use of
a mural be too way out there? Should we just do what
we want because we just like it? How much do we
shape our home and environment to what we REALLY
want and like, and how much are we influenced by what
our visiting friends and family would find at least
semi-acceptable? What do you think? Tell me
some of your answers in our next issue
of this newsletter.
Guest Feature Article- Wall Murals
Wall Murals Create a Haven for Stressed Families
(ARA) -
Spending time together as a family is not always easy
in today's busy world. Job demands, activities, school
and more make it difficult to find time to spend together
sharing quiet moments.
Creating a place that will draw your family together is
that is soothing and that encourages imagination and
conversation can help parents and children re-connect
and share everyday experiences and challenges.
One way to create a room that draws your family together
is to set the mood with a wall mural. Measuring approximately
13 feet by 8 feet, wall murals make an immediate impact in a
room. They are also affordable (around $100), easy to install
and come in a variety of designs and themes to suit any
mood or any family.
Primo Products' line of wall murals includes "Dolphins' Paradise,"
which depicts dolphins swimming through shafts of light in
shades of deep blue, turquoise and green, makes it easy to
imagine the tranquil feeling of swimming with dolphins in a
relaxed, peaceful setting.
"A wall mural can transform a room into whatever you want
it to be, from a haven for daydreaming to a peaceful place to
gather and reflect on the day's events," says Todd Imholte,
president of Primo Products. "Our murals are printed on high-
quality paper, making them easy to install and easy to remove
when you decide it's time for a change of scenery for your room."
Homeowners commonly install wall murals in basements or
rooms that have been added or remodeled, or any room that
needs a feeling of additional light and spaciousness.
