New Update Jan 26, 2008
Winter has sunk its teeth into us here in the mid-west making the nights long and cold, and while I do enjoy
a little break from all the rose work, I can indulge in some relaxation!
A couple quotes from Albert Schweitzer:
“There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.”
While he excluded roses ( I’ll forgive him for that)
I’m a big fan of both, a jazz affectionado, and singer, and I do enjoy my kitty’s.
If you would like something new to your ears, give Stacey Kent a listen. I love her voice, her
husband Jim Thomlinson’s great sax playing and her swinging band!
“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others”.
While enjoying some of that relaxation the other day, I learned of such compassion by a couple who created a site
for those in the world who need a hand (NOT A HAND OUT). Check out www.kiva.org – a chance to help the less
fortunate help themselves…..
