Even if gymnastics is not your sport, being [...]

We just noticed a few maple leaves turning red, and sure enough today in the first day of fall. Hurray! Here in Brevard, in the northern hemisphere, this is the autumnal equinox, and it’s that time of the year when the sun rises and sets exactly in the east and west.
You might think [...]

Here’s a great old photo of girls at Rockbrook Camp enjoying their summer swimming and sliding down into the lake. We’re not sure when the photo was taken, but in the background you can see the Hillside Lodge with very little growing around it, and since that lodge now has a giant oak tree [...]
