Yesterday it was 70, I ran around in shorts and a tshirt. Today woke up to 8" of snow over 2" of ice. Everything is closed. It is snowing sideways and it is an upslope storm, so it smells like a feed lot.

Oh and we just got power back, been out for 4 hours >:(

Rapid changes. Keep safe. [e:heart}
Be safe! Try to enjoy the white stuff but stay healthy too with those weather changes.

I just got the best gift ever. I was asked what I wanted for Xmas, and I said a share in a goat from Hiefer.org. They bought a whole goat! Because of my awesome friends, a family is going to get a dairy goat and it is going to change their lives from charity recipients to philanthropists in their village. (As part of the condition to receive one, they must promise to pass on the first female offspring to another family.) They'll be able to give their kids milk and cheese, have an income, send their kids to school. How amazing is that? I am so excited!

How awesome is that?

That's a very generous gift! Awesome is right-- the true spirit of the season. You go girl!
You have the biggest heart! Merry Christmas my friend! *Heart*
Pita, I'm glad to know you did this. I've thought about doing it too. So the next time I get an announcement My son and I will purchase a goat too.

If you haven't seen it yet. There is a little girl, 8 years old, in upstate New York. Her family was murdered by arson 2 years ago and her biological mother has abandoned her. Her aunt now has custody of her. She survived the inferno, shielded by her father's body, but has burns over 75% of her body. She has had 50 surgeries and spent 10 months in the hospital, and recently had to have her right hand and left foot amputated.

All this courageous child wants is Christmas Cards from around the country and world. Her address is:

Safyre Terry
P.O. Box 6126
Schenectady NY 12306
USA (<-- add that if you are outside the United States.)

If you want to help with current and future medical expenses. They have far exceeded their modest goals, excess funding will go to future surgeries and treatments. (She has another surgery scheduled in January.)

Please share this on your facebook etc.

UPDATE: They have already filled the tree card holder :) She is one happy child. And they've raised over 97k to cover future surgical expenses etc.

Thanks for sharing, P!
