Here is a very interesting article.

Do you think that cooperate America will ever get heart?

But to be honest- that change has to happen with us, and where and how we choose to purchase items. If we choose to use the low price guaranteed then we are enforcing the cooperations that choose to use poverty level workers.

Become aware and act accordingly.

I brought dinner to Ryan, Amber and family. Made some good spaghetti, bought garlic bread and salad and cake. Amber and Ryan thanked me for satisfying them very well.

I told them I was I also very satisfied- I held Nahni the whole time they ate. And it felt very good.

What surprised me though, was how good it felt to give her back and walk away going on with my life. Kind of a surprise, but that must be how Grandmas feel. And today I am auntie- close enough for now.

only in Minnesota

Galen's teacher told me that Galen said something so cute, she has been smiling all week.

I thought you might enjoy it too.

Galen's assistant, Jan, was talking with Karen and said that her husband worked at St. Olaf's college. Galen said "OH, that's my favorite restaurant, the Olaf Garden."

Is it ok if I am a little baby hungry?

I mean, Clay is huge. There is little left the signifies him as a baby any more. And sometimes I just miss the little sweet things kicking your belly button from with in.

By the way- CONGRATULATIONS AMBER, NAHNI and RYAN (and Ethan and Avery). The new born pics made me have to admit that Clay is getting too big to fill the need in a women's life for much longer.

I am so glad that my wish for a sleepless night came true for you.
