“It takes a village to raise a child.”
I do not know about you but there was no truer
statement when I was raising my daughters. My
village included all of the second mothers such as
family members, neighbors, godparents, teachers,
youth leaders ….. the list goes on and on.
On Mother’s Day, we should thank our entire village
of cheerleaders and mentors . I do not have enough
fingers to count all of the adoptive aunts, uncles and
family friends who provided support for me as a
child and then me as a Mother. There is no question
that my mom and dad were my greatest teachers,
but without my extended family, I would have
missed a lot of extra love, support and
encouragement throughout my life.
By all means, please wish your Mother a Happy
Mother’s Day but take a moment to write a note,
text, email or even better make a phone call to the
“second” Mother’s in your life. We all have them.
If you are not a Mom—I am sure you are a Mom role
model for someone. Happy Mother’s Day!
Please join us for the first Bourbon County Extension Homemakers Tea Party Fundraiser for Ovarian Cancer
Screening and research. We would
also welcome donations of finger foods and desserts for the tea. Call the office for details.
Thank you for your support!
To
ALL the Mother Figures in your life!

September Lesson
“Savvy Sellers and Bargain Hunters”
Kay Denniston August 8, 2017 – 6:00 pm
Many of us have items in our home that have been kept long beyond their usefulness. These items often clutter our houses while we scratch our heads wondering what to do with them. Many times, clothes, bags, furniture, or odd knick-knacks are still in good condition, yet we no longer have a use for them. On the other hand, many of us also have upcom-ing purchases, such as back-to-school clothes, home redecorating, or furnishing a college apartment.

Maybe, just maybe, warm weather is here to
stay for the next several months! It is great
going without a coat and gives me the
opportunity to smell freshly cut grass! Today I
attended a lovely luncheon hosted by Bourbon
Heights, in appreciation for Bourbon County
Homemakers helping with the Sunshine
Homemaker Club. It was nicely attended and we
left feeling very satisfied. Please know that
Lauren Biddle, the Activities Director, is VERY
appreciative of the time Homemaker members
give every month to be with the Sunshine ladies.
It is a very worthwhile endeavor, and it gives
you volunteer service hours! The next several
months are packed with activities Homemakers
are involved with, so don’t forget to write down
your hours!

May is National Physical Fitness Month
Make physical activity a regular part of the day.
Choose activities that you enjoy and can do regularly.
Fitting activity into a daily routine can be easy — such as
taking a brisk 10 minute walk to and from the parking lot.
Or, join an exercise class. Keep it interesting by trying
something different on alternate days. Every little bit adds
up and doing something is better than doing nothing.
Make sure to do at least 10 minutes of activity at a time,
shorter bursts of activity will not have the same health
benefits. For example, walking the dog for 10 minutes
before and after work or adding a 10 minute walk at
lunchtime can add to your weekly goal. Mix it up. Swim,
take a yoga class, garden or lift weights. To be ready
anytime, keep some comfortable clothes and a pair of
walking or running shoes in the car and at the office.

tips.
