They don't like Spam!..But ... God likes Spam! :lol:

"Cheer up, it doesn't matter if you have spam just remember

always look on the bright side of life

always look on the light side of life

when life seems jolly rotten

there's something you've forgotten

and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing...

I don't think of them as resolutions so much as "course corrections," "tweaks," experiments, and a focus list. 😀

"Why I Think Rita is Cool" by DD

1. Because she never judges us.
2. Because she laughs at all our crazy stuff.
3. She likes plants and all things earthly.
4. She finds really cool graphics for our entertainment.
5. She truly loves her family and is so proud of her darling daughter.
6. She's got some pretty reasonable insight--at least I think so when I venture over to "other" places. :shock:
7. She is one heck of a good listener! She had to be at our Texgents!
8. She is a Texan!
9. She's always willing to help us out with sound advice.
10. She's just....just....RITA!!!! :wub:
11. Boring=NEVER

One of my experiments this year was to save ALL my spare change and donate it to the guy who builds schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan (far more effective than military action and they must educate the girls) - so I can't wait to see how that turns out.

You might want to check out the calendars too--they are beautiful and very reasonable; and the $$ go to the program.
