Play
Over at the Conscious Cat I learned that there is actually an National Institute For Play!You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.--PlatoI love to play tennis, with my pets, box games and review games with my Sunday School Class.

Howler Monkeys
The male Howler Monkeys are black but the female and young ones are tan. Howler monkeys are so loud, they can be heard up to two miles away!Google+
I guess if Facebook isn't enough for you or you are dissatisfied with it, an alternative is Google+. Mrs. 4444 posted a great tutorial about it. She also invited me to join but I'm still debating if I want to get on yet another social network. She says she loves Google+ so far.Which Animal?
So far a goat is the animal of choice for our Heifer International donation. Please vote in our poll at the left if you haven't yet for the animal you would like us to donate and be sure to comment on our blogs so we can get enough for one of these bigger animals.Jaycee Dugard
Did you see the special about Jaycee Dugard this week? It was the first I heard about this unbelievable story. We watched the special about Jaycee Dugard, a girl kidnapped at age 11 while going to her bus stop, abused, raped, and held captive for 18 years before she was finally reunited with her family. She wrote a book about her experience called A Stolen Life which Gerard is on the waiting list for at the library. If you didn't see the show, here is a short video about it:pets
When Abby rolls around on the grass, sometimes her leash comes off! Today I am taking her to get one of those micro chips so if she ever does get lost, a vet or shelter can scan her and find out where she belongs.Men vs. Women
From The Happiness Project
, by Gretchen Rubin a tidbit I learned that was interesting to me is the difference in how men and women approach intimacy. . . . women's idea of an intimate moment is a face-to-face conversation, while men feel close when they work or play sitting alongside someone.So, for men, just watching TV together is quality time for them. There are lots of ideas to increase your happiness level and interesting research and quotes in this book that I won in a giveaway from Ann at Up North. Check out Gretchen's website about the project at www.happiness-project.com.
