Happy 78th Birthday, Mom

I Celebrate Your Life

Mom,

Your birthday means so much to me;

To have you in my life another year.

The time I spent enfolded in your love,

Each day, each moment with you is so dear.

I cherish the very special bond we have.

You lift my spirit in so many ways.

I celebrate your life; I honor you,

And send to you my love and care and praise.

Happy Birthday, Mom

Love, Julie

Top Ten Things to Think About If You Want to Change the World

Mahatma Gandhi believed that we must be the change we want to see in the world. This was well demonstrated when he helped India gain its independence. Gandhi was a revolutionary man, but he accomplished India's emergence as a nation without starting a revolution. In fact, he advocated no violence. One of the most powerful countries in the world yielded to the commitment of one man and the dream of millions.

What change can we effect? What's the difference we want to make in the world?
Gandhi said, "In a gentle way you can shake the world."

Easter 2009 with the Rice Family

This year Bob and I put on a scavenger hunt for the kids to find their Easter Baskets (see the video below the photo album).
After that it was off to the back yard to see what the Easter Bunny left. We topped the day off with an Easter Brunch at Glen & Diane's with the extended Rice Family. Hope you all had a fabulous day!
