The Camera Charger is lost :(

so I won't be posting pictures until
a) I miraculously find it (Pray for me, St. Anthony!!)
b) I break down and purchase one and then find the first one, or
c) I learn to use my drawing programs and post drawings of my life..... ergggggggh!

In other news, I put Stella & Marcus on the train in Whitefish Tuesday night, and picked up Jon & Cindy from the same train.... Louise stayed on the train and hosted Stella and Marcus in the sleeper compartment all the way home to Portland. Stella told me it was small but much nicer than trying to sleep in the regular seats all night. They were quite grateful that Cindy, Jon, and Louise had gotten the sleeper for their trip - the only glitch seems to be that Stella forgot (! it's usually attached to her by a very strong psychic cord!!!) her violin, so my big mission today is to pack it in a giant box of peanuts and mail it off to her....

Knitting news: Well, I mostly knit dish cloths when the kids were here and there was knitting time, since the Frog Prince Mittens are for you-know-who.... However, the one time I got caught knitting on them, and he asked what was I knitting, Stella piped up "Looks like a sock to me!!" (good save, Stell!). Since they've left, I'm almost done, just have about 10 rows and then the thumbs.

*will post pictures soon, I hope*

Medicare for All should be our goal

" Under the greatest adversity there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others ." ~Dalai Lama And one of Montana's Methodist Ministers, Joan Uda, wrote an editorial for the Great Falls Tribune this week, asking essentially, What would God think of this? Here's a small excerpt: I'm startled by the frenzied opposition to health care reform. Are these good people Christians? Do they recall that Jesus will judge us not by how well we've kept our earnings for ourselves but by how we have cared for "the least of these"? Matthew 25:31-46. This is a matter of salvation. I don't believe God supports any particular solution for health care. But I do believe God wants everyone, even the least, included. And I believe Jesus Christ calls us to display our best Christian virtues in the debate on these issues. Here's George Lakoff's perspective on how language influences the discussion on Health Care policies this seas...

My Husband, My Hero

So, most of you know that Jon and I are "involved" in helping Obama win this very critical election..... Jon, with his gift of "soothing rhetoric" (as Stella calls it) has been canvassing and phone calling voters in Western Montana almost every day for the past month. But this morning, he had a once-in-a-lifetime experience. At her request, Jon drove a 63 year old woman to the courthouse, where she voted (for Obama) for the first time in her life!!! WHY did she want to vote now? Because this time, it was "important".

I Believe....

I Believe that birthing and raising children is a work of the soul, a challenge to the spirit, and a gift to the universe. that "God" is bigger than any religious group, 'true believer', or even the deepest thinking theologians and scientists can grasp. that we have more than one chance to 'get it right' -yes, that implies some variation of reincarnation. that there are always alternatives to war and conflict. in fairy tales, tall tales, and even 'urban legends' might contain kernels of truth. that the seasons remind us, subliminally at least, of the spiral and cycles of life. that my dogs are the best canines ever incarnated, and I am so happy that they have found me again and again....!! the 'best' years of my life are the ones I am living. that we should pray for, and work for, peace and hope and change every day of our lives. NOW is our opportunity to influence what is reaching towards us from the future. that LOVE always triumphs.
