SYRACUSE — Behind Syracuse Elementary School sits a quiet, quarter-acre plot full of various plants, benches for sitting next to shady trees, garden boxes overflowing with strawberries and trails leading through the gardens.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Just getting through Disneyland’s gates would cost Simi Valley resident Candi Kirby and her two children nearly $200 and she’s simply not willing to pay the price.

‘‘That’s insane,” she said. “If they made it more affordable for people with children we would go more often, definitely.”

Kirby, whose kids are 1 and 4, would rather spend the money on groceries or other household necessities. After Disneyland announced a price hike that took effect Sunday, she decided that maybe it’s time to visit other parks, like Knott’s Berry Farm, which costs $60 a day.

“The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages.

Look inside your handbag. What do you see?

During a walk through the Newgate Mall recently, several women who checked inside their handbags reported the following items: wallet, keys, phone, chewed-up gum, wrappers, receipts, a piece of candy out of its wrapper, toothpicks, bobby pins, ponytail holders, granola bar, lip gloss, mascara, a toy, fruit rollups, sunglasses, an orange, pens, Chapstick, lotion, stamps, tampons, medication, comb, flashlight, nail file, a chewed-up straw, and yes, even a shoe.

Those were the items that could be seen. But what about the unseen items?

Many of us can barely keep up with each day’s activities, let alone find time to take on a big organizational project or complete the tasks on our never-ending to-do lists.

But don’t make the mistake of waiting until you have a whole day to take care of all of your projects, because that day might never arrive. And if it does, chances are you won’t want to spend it organizing your house.
