As my grandson used to say! I just love this photo, it's him all the way! I'm so glad to see so many get signed up my giveaway, remember you have till the 18th to do so, just leave your comment on the post below. I've really enjoyed reading all the comments, tea parties galore, what fun! I'm gonna have to have a tea party soon, sounds like so much fun!
Well, tomorrow is the day my sister flys in for a week, so if I'm not here much you know why. She lives in Nevada so we don't get to see each other very often, about every 3-4 years or so. Were looking forward to this special time together.
I played outside yesterday and got some flowers planted, finally and today they are getting some rain so they should have a good start. Spring is here which means spring storms too, and we have a chance of some severe weather tonight, so I hope whoever is in the path of these storms stays safe. Blessings to all for a peaceful Easter and a wonderful time spent with family and friends.
Happy Hoppy Easter, Sue! Enjoy your visit with your sister.
ReplyDeleteWe're having rain today too. I heard it is to rain Easter Sunday late in the day. You know what that means!! Seven Sundays of rain!
Have a great time with your sister and hope you laugh till you cry. Happy Easter to you and to your family.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Have fun and enjoy the time with your sister. You can tell us all about it when she goes home. Maybe she could guest post so we get to know her too! The storms have already past thru here and I hope you don't get it too bad. Wish you lots of fun! Happy Easter

TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about.
Our Story
In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created a company that would match every pair of shoes sold with a pair given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers.
Since our beginning, TOMS has given over 140,000* pairs of shoes to children in need through the One for One model. Because of your support, TOMS plans to give over 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world in 2009.
Our ongoing community events and Shoe Drop Tours allow TOMS supporters and enthusiasts to be part of our One for One movement. Join us.
Why shoes?
Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or just getting around, these children are at risk.
Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren't possible barefoot.
Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.
Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.
There is one simple solution...SHOES.
Have a wonderful time with your sister, my friend!
