All of us in Corp. Mktg have posted pics with us wearing our favorite T. Here is mine- although slightly hard to distinguish the actual image due to a very hairy large dog.

The image is a silhouette graphic of dogs of all shapes and sizes saying hello to each other. Check out Threadless for a better shot! Enjoy and remember to be kind to all animals on this planet.

Here's a good recipe for fall that involves two apples (I get mine at Tuttle's Orchard), a stick of butter, two tubes of ready-bake crescent rolls, a cup of sugar, two tablespoons of cinnamon and one 12-ounce can of Mountain Dew. All you need is a 9" by 13" glass baking dish and a pyrex cup to melt your butter in the microwave. Turn the oven on to 350, and before you melt your butter, rub down the inside of the baking dish with your stick of butter. Then melt the butter in the microwave and add in your sugar and cinnamon. Peel, core and cut your apples into eighths and wrap each apple slice in its own triangle of crescent roll dough. The only thing left is to line the baking dish with the 16 apples in blankets, pour the butter-sugar-cinnamon mix over the top and dump the whole can of Mountain Dew over the top of that. That's it. Bake it at 350 for 45 minutes. - Matt

This is without question the easiest and best way to prepare salmon for a group.

1 salmon filet (about 13" long - or a pretty huge slab o'fish with skin on one side) Costco has great salmon, check them out

1/4 cup dijon mustard

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (don't try to substitute- use Panko)

1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley - mix together with Panko

salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 450. Line a cookie sheet (with sides) with parchment paper. Pat fish dry with paper towels and spread top (no skin side) with dijon mustard. Generously salt and pepper fish then sprinkle with Panko/parsley mix. Use all of the crumbs and herbs - this will create a nice crust. Bake in center of oven for 15-18 minutes. Top should be nicely browned, fish will be perfectly cooked in center.

I took a vacation last week to go on a medical mission trip to Haiti, and I can't wait to go back! It was an amazing trip! We saw 2,500 Haitians over the course of 5 days in five different churches. Our clinics consisted of a medical staff of RN's, doctors and dentists. The people in the community would come in and then the doctors and dentists would prescribe meds or pull teeth. I worked in the pharmacy and helped fill the orders. Most of what we gave out was medication that Haitians just don't have access to - antacids, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, multi-vitamins, etc. There were some medical problems that we couldn't help, but the people we were able to give relief to were so thankful. They even prepared meals for us when the price of rice is so high. It opened my eyes to see how much we as Americans have, and I hope to never take that for granted. It was a privilege to serve the Haitians, and I'm excited for opportunities to continue to do so here until I can go again in Feb.'09 (at least that's the plan). If you'd like to learn more about Mission Haiti and the hospital they're building in Saintard go to http://www.missionhaitimidwest.org/. Bon Dieu beni ou! Dana

Spring is finally in the air and I could not be more ready! This is without a doubt my favorite time of year: flowers in bloom, and the anticipation of summer vacations around the corner (and my May 31st wedding!). How do you spend spring days? Did you know that Indy Parks maintains nearly 200 parks properties across Marion County? They offer amenities you wouldn’t normally think of including historic sites, conservatories, and disc golf courses (they actually offer leagues for this sport) along with the traditional pools, community centers, ball fields, trails, and playgrounds. Even better, you can enjoy most all of their offerings at no cost.

With so many parks across the city, you’ll find several of them located very close to our communities. For example, Eagle Creek Park is just a couple of minutes from Branches on the west side of Indianapolis and Homecoming actually has a dedicated 42 acre park within the south side community. We take pride in our parks organizations and encourage you and your family to spend some time in your favorite park this spring. For more information on our involvement as a “Partner with Parks”, visit the Indy parks website.

Stay tuned, our wonderful parks organizations have some great family-friendly events coming this summer and C.P. Morgan is pleased to be a part of some of them. -Blair

If you pay attention to news outlets, you no doubt realize there is a lot on the line for homeowners this election cycle. Property taxes, economic development, school improvement and job creation all have a significant effect on homeowners. No matter what your political affiliation, it is important to engage in the political process during this spring’s Indiana primary. Visit the Statewide Voter Registration System to find your polling place in Indianapolis or throughout Indiana and get out and vote! -Blair.

I just recently travelled to Charlotte to assist on a photo shoot of our model home interiors. It was a nice break to get out from behind the computer and do some literal hands-on work. We had a good time with the photographer. He had a really good eye, and captured some very nice shots. I also found my perfect home. This model had a beautiful interior! Every room had me saying, "I want that" just like a little kid. I was drawn to the hearth sitting area in the kitchen. It was SO inviting, we took a few to sit and cozy up to the fire. I dreamt that it was my home and the photographer had come to shoot my crib. All I needed was a fridge full of sodas, and I could've been on MTV. Anyway, I'm saving his photos so someday when I'm ready to build my dream home (when I've made a bundle on web design)I can point to the photo and say, "I want that!" - Dana

Claybridge at Cumberland Point is our first community to offer a color-mapped streetscape, so that no two homes will be the same, and each will compliment the other. It’s a place where everyone’s individual style is showcased, and the combined effect is a neighborhood that shows its true colors beautifully. And we’re only offering our newest series of floorplans at Claybridge. They’re designed to fit the way you live, accentuate your personal taste, and look and feel as comfortable and confident as you are at your very best. And that’s the way it should be in a place you call home. - Matt
