Charity Water~ An Update
Remember a few years ago, my cute boy decided to “donate” his birthday to Charity Water? I did a post about it–right here on my blog. Charity Water is an organization run by Scott Harrison–who is my absolute hero, by-the-way. He vows to not rest until every child on the earth has clean drinking water within reach. And he’s making a difference.
People were wonderful and donated $22 each–one dollar for every year Dane has been on earth. Well today, I got an email from Charity Water. Maybe many of you did too. It was an email to let us know how our donation had been used…every single penny of it.
If you were gracious enough to help with this cause, or even if you knew nothing about it–you’ll be pleased to see the well that Dane’s 22nd birthday helped to build. A real, honest to goodness, tangible, miraculous blessing in the lives of 1400 people in Soda–Lisancho, Ethiopia…right this minute.
Scott Harrison is an angel and we are proud to have been a part of such a wonderful, ongoing project. If you’d like to know more about Charity Water, or want to learn how to start your own campaign– go to CharityWater.org.
It just makes my heart so happy.

Things I Love~
right this minute.
This girl and that guy who came to visit us this week…
yeah, they’re nuts–but they’re just so dang cute.
Hanging quotes up all over the house, sometimes to make a point, and sometimes to remind myself to focus a bit. Works wonders.
A silly kitty that insists on sleeping on my feet every night. Makes me a bit claustrophobic…but it feels nice to have her want to be there too.
A bald guy who still doesn’t want me to take his picture very often…so mostly…I don’t…mostly.
The perfect shade of pink right outside the front door…where it should be so that I can see it first thing.
Breakfast that looks like a TV commercial and tastes even better.
A wrestling match that’s been waiting for years to happen.
Brave little Bishop’s weed under the front window. It grows and grows and pretends that I don’t neglect it at all. Poor thing. 
My favorite TV show in the whole…wide…world…on it’s last season. *sniff-shiff*
The old dude who’s still plugging along. We should probably call him Hopalong Beany.
Speaking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Outside My Window
There was a little kiddie fair put on by PartyLand the other day. Miss Chomp and Magoo were sooo excited to go, and me? Well, I’m usually up for an adventure. But this time, I decided to shake it up and bit and NOT go out to the actual fair grounds. Oh, the kids and their momma went in alright, but I wanted to stay in the nice warm car.
After all, I had my Lemon/Peppermint water…
a stack of magazines and a good book…
my crocheting….always–ALWAYS…
and even my phone…just in case. Yeah, I was ready for the long haul alright.
Then I looked out my car window and realized that there were some pretty things going on all around me–most of them within arms reach.
I’m pretty sure after soaking in all that lovliness–I fell asleep and dreamed of a pretty little brook…
just outside my window.
