World Thoughts on New Years Eve

Hello World;

During the summer we went to the ALA (American Library Association) conference and were we met and listened to a great Muslim author her name is Irshad Manji. We were both moved by her bravery and her book. Tonight we were talking about Pakistan and Benazir Bhutto and we thought we would see what Irshad Manji had to say about this situation on her website. We thought that we would share her website with all of you.

Happy New Year to you all,
Cheers Delaina and Kristin

Merry Christmas Amigos!

Hello world
Yes I know that it is New Years Eve but we have not yet posted a Christmas piece and said better late than never!! (As we are still officially in the 12 days of Christmas time frame.) Kristin's Grandma Dita sent this poem along and we thought it was funny and that you may enjoy it as well.

Merry Christmas Amigos! 'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the casa Not a creature is stirring; Caramba! Qué Pasa? The stockings are hanging con mucho cuidado In hopes that Saint Nicholas will feel obligado To leave a few cosas aquí and allá For chicos y chicas (y something for me). Los niños are snuggled all safe in their camas (some in vestindos and some in pajamas) Their little cabezas all full of good things They're all esperando qué Santa will bring. Santa está at the corner saloon, Muy Borracho since mid-afternoon. Mamá is sitting beside la ventana Shining her rolling pin para mañana When Santa return to his home zigzagueando Lit up like the Star Spangle Banner, cantando. Mamá will send him to bed con a right. Merry Christmas a todos, y a todos good night.


We hope that everyone has a safe and happy New Year!!
Cheers! Kristin & Delaina

Fresh Start

Hello family and friends;

School is out for us for two more days so we thought we would join the mass of bloggers. We hope to keep you up to date with our adventures and lives; maybe share a poem or two; pass on ideas and even share some photos. We hope you will enjoy our blog and feel free to drop us a note or two.

Cheers,
Delaina & Kristin
