firsts

Two big firsts in our lives today.

1) My Dad drove himself out to our house and drove himself home.  The last time he did this was Dec. 13, 2006.  He used to come out a couple times a week and hang out with the kids and give me a little break.  Oh how I have missed this. 

He has his learner's permit again and a good vehicle with all the adaptations.  If all goes well he will pass his driving test and will once again be a frequent mid-day visitor at our house.

2) Our chickies spent the afternoon outside.  They loved it.  When we brought them in they all fell over in little heaps of sleepy fluff.  I think we wore them out.  The two in the foreground are Americunas, the one behind them is a Golden-Laced Wyanndotte.

And as a bonus, here are two of my three new Gold-Penciled Hamburgs.  Aren't they pretty?

Love your chicks! We can't decide if we should get anymore this spring or not...I bet we break down and get at least a couple.

Why not? They are so cute and they give free eggs later on.

Book Review Request: What Sex is a Republican?

(I couldn't find your contact info, hence the "comment.")

At this time, we are sending out a copy of a new book entitled What Sex is a Republican? Stories from the Front Lines of American Politics and How You Can Change the Way Things Are to bloggers for review. In this political autobiography former State Representative to the Wisconsin State Legislature Terri McCormick takes a look at the political game from behind the curtain with one intention; to call on each of us to serve in our local, state and federal governments.

The link for What Sex is a Republican? Stories from the Front Lines of American Politics and How You Can Change the Way Things Are on Amazon is: http://www.amazon.com/What-Sex-Republican-Terri-McCormick/dp/0981572804/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268268958&sr=1-3

In her memoir, What Sex Is a Republican?, author Terri McCormick presents a case for courage from the perspective a lawmaker who is uniquely qualified to do so. Based on actual events, her book explains what happened to our political system when citizens weren't actively engaged and then she calls on each of us to change the way things are. This book provides an insider's perspective to the realm of American politics and the struggle of "career politicians" to stay in power at all costs. Coming from a grassroots background, she proves that ideas and "integrity leaders" can win over these career politicians and calls on Americans to take back the reins and restore a government for and by the people.

I'd love to send you a copy of the book for you to review on your blog. The author is also available for an author interview.

Thank you for considering the idea.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Rebecca
