A MOTHER’S LOVE
LANA MUTHLER/THE EXPRESS
Mother’s Day promises to be a little more special tomorrow for Cassie Carson and her family. Cassie is thanking God for two healthy sons and a baby boy with a heart defect that is correctable. She and her husband, Shawn, are pictured with their sons, Austyn, left, and Landyn and baby Mycah.

BLANCHARD — Mother’s Day has always been a special time for Cassie Carson.
But this year, she feels truly blessed.
“I appreciate my kids more... Sometimes we take the healthy ones for granted,” Cassie said, cradling eight-week-old Mycah in her arms while watching his brothers Austyn and Landyn playing in the next room.
Mycah, born March 24 in Williams-port Hospital, spent the first 22 days of his life at Hershey Medical Center after he was diagnosed with a heart defect.

Summer reading
Sun, May 11, 2008 @ 1:10PM
I have been majorly neglecting this blog for a long time now, and I know I need to make up for that, but I have been so busy studying that I haven't gotten a chance to read many good books. But I've got a great list in the works, and I hope you do too. Summer is the perfect time to catch up on all of the reading you neglected during the year. I have a stack of books almost as tall as I am waiting to be read, and I look forward to devouring it and savouring each tasty morsel. I am one of those people who buys books and then starts to read one and then buys more books while still reading the first book, and then by the time I move onto the 2nd book I've got 30 books I need to read. The top 5 list of books I absolutely need to finally read this summer is as follows: Middlemarch by George Eliot. I have been planning to read this for years and never gotten around to it, but I bought it, which is a step. The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

Where did you learn that?
Fri, May 2, 2008 @ 1:57PM
Have you ever wondered where you learn things? As I prepare for finals week with projects, exams, and the inevitable event of saying good bye to friends, some only for summer while others until time allows us to meet again, I have been having the same question pop in and out of my head. Have you ever wondered where you learned something? By something learned, I am talking about the little things such as what to do if a light bulb breaks while in the socket, if your toilet is over flowing with water, or in my case having the string on the bottom of my khakis fall out. Over spring break, I bought a pair of khaki pants that can be transformed into capri pants by simply pulling up the pant leg and tying them string around your knee (I know this may sound funny but I assure you that they are anything but funny).

A Legacy
Thu, May 1, 2008 @ 3:36PM
When time becomes short, humans find the time to pass things to the next generation. Grandmothers leave money to their grandchildren while father's leave tools to their children, both hoping that the meager gift they give will change the future of the recipient. This idea is not only confined to death. Neighbors give partings gifts of furniture, former lovers give one last gift in hopes of repairing what was lost, an students pass books to the next generation of the potentially educated. The idea that objects and knowledge should be passed on is not uncommon, but the event that causes a legacy to be passed on can be rather strange. I have been a student of Lock Haven University for five years. In those five years, I have gained a great deal of knowledge, received the gift of inspiration, garnered a collection of books, and found insight into my life.

A Charmed Hour and a Haunted Song: Stevie Nicks in Concert
Sun, April 27, 2008 @ 9:55PM
Rock-Goddess Stevie Nicks enthralled a nearly sold-out crowd in Reading last week, on a short tour to promote an up-coming Soundstage DVD-CD set. Nicks brought the crowd on their feet upon entering from center stage to sing her synthesizer-driven smash “Stand Back.” She graced the stage in her signature black chiffon dress, black suede boots, and silky long blonde hair. Her powerful presence on stage, coupled with her ten-piece band, quickly brought the energy level high throughout the arena. Nicks topped off her elation by kicking one suede boot high in the air, which was welcomed with deafening applause from her fans.
