"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Thanksgiving and Tuki's family birthday party

A few members of the family and my old neighbor were missing, but Marly and my other family members came and we all had a pleasant time anyway. The girls had a great birthday celebration.

Tuki's Cinderella's Birthday cake that my sis made

Mim writing down what she is thankful for. I asked everyone who came to write 5 things down that they are thankful for onto the paper table cloth.

Ve's thankful items, she spelled them all herself.

Prince Uncle W escorting Tukirella down the steps

Tuki and cousin N entertaining for us..N was Hannah Montana and Tuki was Cinderella

N and Tuki sitting behind their cakes holding up their ages

Tuki opening presents

All Rella'd Up----she still loves playing dress-up more than anything


Now the Southern Belle...I purchased many of the items after Halloween...they were costumes greatly marked down

Uncle J, Rembrandt and Hubble

The trio; 6 (soon 7), 6 and 5 year olds

more singing and dancing

dancing with Aunt J (Uncle J's sis)



While the other's were playing "boyfriend" in the other room...I guess boyfriend is talking to a boyfriend on the other end of the phone

Looks like a great party! I love the Halloween clearance sale idea for dress up costumes. Finally a benefit to having a late in the year birthday!
