Daughter's off vacationing...
Daddy here… Mommy and Daughter are off on a gal’s vacation. The house is already looking worse for the wear. I miss them both!
Carrabbas on my own!
Cookies for a cause - Japan
Dear [Daughter] Cookies for a Cause NC,
The American Red Cross is acting swiftly to put your donation to work in communities affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. We are supporting relief work to meet critical needs. On behalf of those we serve by our humanitarian mission, thank you.
As one of 186 Red Cross and Red Crescent societies around the world, we belong to a global humanitarian network of 13 million volunteers uniquely positioned to save lives and provide assistance to those affected by emergencies, such as the earthquake and tsunami in countries across the Pacific.
We’re grateful to have your support. To learn more about your gift at work, please visit redcross.org. On those rare occasions when donations exceed our American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters. Once again, thank you for your generous gift.
Sincerely,
The American Red Cross

We saw a Holocaust survivor yesterday
More info from her book:
Ms. Roos-van Hessen was also one of Holland's foremost concert and opera singers before the war. At 19, she sang the lead for the Dutch version of Walt Disney's Snow White. At 24, she was the soloist in a performance of Verdi's Requiem for the Dutch Royal Family. The future could not have seemed brighter until she was forced into hiding when the Nazis invaded Holland.
She is now 91 years old and still tells about her hiding, miraculous escapes, and determination to survive some of the worst horrors this world has ever seen.
It is important for testimonies such as this one, to come forth to affirm the truth of that dark period in current history and to uplift the hope for a brighter future for generations to come.
She was an inspiration to Daddy and me. She survived so much yet did not let it keep her down. It is an amazing story. You can borrow my book when we are done...
