Here's hoping you all had a great 3-day weekend! I enjoyed the time with my family. Our snow cave needs a little work, and the snow wasn't great for sledding on Saturday--but we had a good time in it anyway! Have you taken some time to "play" in the snow? Take a moment to post a comment about your recent snow activities!
This week's Tuesday Tip involves commas again. When a city and state (or country) are used together in a sentence, remember to place a comma after both of them. This week's mission is to create a sentence that includes the city and state of your birth--with properly placed commas! Here's mine: Mrs. Allen was born in Woodbury, New Jersey, and then moved to Pennsylvania.

Tuesday Tip for Feb. 2
Commas, commas, commas!
Rule #1: Use commas to separate items in a series (three or more things), including the last two items.
Example: He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base.
Rule #2: Use a comma + a conjunction (and, but, or, for, nor, yet, so) to connect two independent clauses.
Example: I need to earn some money, so I would like to mow your grass.
Your mission: Add commas where they belong in the sentence below.
I used tape glue string and gum but the stamp still fell off the envelope.
