Need Your H1N1 Vaccine?

I got both my regular flu shot and the H1N1 mist already, but I’m giving very serious consideration to dragging my daughters in for theirs.  They won’t be happy but I think I’d rather they experience the brief ouchie than to get deathly sick from H1N1.  And now it’s readily available for EVERYONE at your friendly local Kroger store, according to the DNJ,

The H1N1 flu immunizations, available for $10 each, will be administered by Kroger immunizing pharmacists. H1N1 vaccine (both nasal and injectible) will be available in most Kroger pharmacies, but quantities are limited and will be available while supplies last.  Kroger is partnering with local, state and federal health authorities, including The Centers for Disease Control, to distribute the H1N1flu vaccine and government-issued supplies of anti-viral medications.

Have you gotten a flu shot?  Are you planning to?

Curbside Recycling

The city is in contact with a vendor for a curbside recycling program, but they are trying to gauge the interest first.  A survey is up on the city web page, but we wanted to run it up the flagpole here too.  Please vote!!

Let the Paving Begin

I received this notice in my email box about the paving of Waldron Road,

Public Works crews and Hoover Construction will be working on Waldron Road between Blair and Lake Road over the next 2-3 weeks depending on the weather.

Public Works crews and Hoover Construction will be working on Waldron Road between Blair and Lake Road over the next 2-3 weeks depending on the weather.  They will be removing bad areas of Asphalt and replacing the base then overlaying the entire road.

Be careful out there!

Who’s coming to the Nashville Christmas Parade tonight?  If you do, watch for the Tennessee Twirlers!  My daughter and two others get to ride in the horse-drawn carriage … the princess/queen brigade.  We hope to start another twirling class in LaVergne this January or February, so if you have a kiddo at least five years old who wants to “give it a twirl” let us know!

Christmas Day is Coming…

Time to put the lights on the city’s tree!  The annual lighting ceremony is scheduled for this Thursday.  From the city,

The La Vergne Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place outside La Vergne City Hall on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. City Hall is located at 5093 Murfreesboro Road in La Vergne.

Featured singers of Christmas Carols will be the Ezell Harding Choir. Jimmy Carver, of Jefferson Pike Church of Christ, will give the annual prayer.

The public is welcome to attend this annual event.

Bundle up because it’ll be cold out!!  If you like the cold, however, you might be interested in the annual Polar Bear Plunge.  The DNJ reports that registration is now open for the January 2nd event.

The average water temperature hovers around 40 degrees. But for the not-so-brave souls, there is a “Chicken Plunge” into the heated indoor pool, organizers said.

Great cause, but you won’t find me jumping in. Brrrr…

Grief Support Group to Meet

If you or someone you know is grieving, there’s a 13-week non-denominational Christian-based support group in the Murfreesboro area. Meetings are at Leanna Church of Christ (just off 840) on Tuesday nights at 6:30 p.m.

Each meeting includes a video, “share” time and the support of others who also have experienced loss of a loved one.

Email Yvonne Moon at smoon9671@aol.com or call the church at 890-9659 for more information.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hoping everyone has a safe, happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy your turkey or tofu … whatever you prefer.  From my friend in West Tennessee, the biggest turkey I’ve ever seen.

Market Update …

I wanted to share my new work web address with everyone AND this market update from Bob Parks Realty.  On a side note, we currently have 286 homes for sale on the MLS in LaVergne.  235 are under $200,000 with the least expensive homes in Driftwood Village (mobile homes).  There is another house for sale through HUD on Mercury Drive for $58,000 – a cute little two bedroom, one bath that needs some repairs (HUD estimates about $3600 in repairs).

The most expensive home for sale is in the Woods at Martins Bend for $516,900.  It looks amazing (no doubt!).  For sake of transparency, I am not the listing agent on these homes.  However I can provide you with information or show any home on the MLS if you’re interested in learning more.

And Now for Something Completely Different

Already shopping for Christmas?  My writing colleague over at Shakadoo also writes for PopFi – a fun fun site that brings you news, grossness, and pictures from today’s pop culture. 

Ron linked to this Beard Head site and I must say – I LOVE IT! If you’re looking to pick up a gift for the hard-to-please, this one will certainly get their attention!

 

Open Thread Friday

Is it my imagination or have I seen a new sign at the old Big Apple Buffet which became Ichiban Kitchen?

Who has details?  When will it open?  Chinese food?
