Well I am always buying crayons, paints & makers for the kids and I am always doing art with my children. Especially for my son Andrew.
---------------------------------------------------------
Well the Kentucky Era News paper {Hopkinsville Kentucky} liked Andrew’s silly little Boat because he made the paper today’ with his silly boat art work. Take a look at news cast for today. 9-17-07. My son Andrew attends Indian Hill Elememtary School. He is in the 4th grade.
---------------------------------------------------------
I was always laughing at his art work because I think his boats are funny. Well I thank the Kentucky Era who published my sons Art. He made me so proud that his art makes other people happy. I am so proud of my sons work.
---------------------------------------------------------
So parents take the time to sit down with your children and color with them. When shopping for a coloring book buy one that interest you as a parent and color with your children.

My Sons love it when I take them to Borders, they love the fact they can choose any book, Music and Movie. Most of all the love the fact they can also sit down as a family and talk about their books over a snack. The snacks are upscale, they sell coffee, nice bakery treats, nice chocolates and different kind of healthy drinks.

I enjoyed a nice flavor Green Tea that was peach flavored with a pretzel, I am going to rate the pretzel on a scale of 1 to 10 I am going to give the pretzel a 5. Why because it was a like on the dry side for a soft pretzel.





___________________________________________________________________

However, on the Green Peach tea made by Tazo on a scale of 1 to 10. I will give the product a 9. It's served with a nice cup of Ice and when it's nice and chilled the flavors are awesome.

TAZO






Tazo Giant Peach Green Peach Drink. Try one at Borders. The flavor is wonderful. It's like almost eating a fresh Peach. The taste is on target.

Also what brings to mind about the lable that was on the bottle. Did you know?

In China, peaches were thought to confer long life. They say the 800 year old tea Shaman Wang Yung doesn't look a day over 90. This reminds me of a movie, that I loved about China. The Story was Called The Good Earth. Because in the beging The wife a chinese man plants the peach seed.

Impoverished farmer Wang Lung (Paul Muni) is overjoyed when his father buys him a bride, a former kitchen slave named O-Lan (Luise Rainer). They toil in the fields, surviving bad weather and a troublesome uncle (Walter Connolly), eventually having three boys and a girl and increasing the size of their farm. Then famine comes, and Wang Lung's neighbors accuse him of hoarding food, although he is starving as well. Rather than sell out, Wang Lung takes his family to the South where revolution is brewing. When the Manchus are overthrown O-Lan is injured in a riot and almost shot as a looter, but saves a bag of jewels that allows the family to return in style. Good times bring riches; Wang Lung buys the house of a lord and takes a concubine, dancer Lotus (Tilly Losch). But he's losing something at home, as his sons grow distant and O-Lan wastes away in silence.

Family is important and the things I do with my children, are memorable and when I don't take them to Borders they get mad at me. They enjoy that fact that I take them. So I take them once a month. Reading is important. Also I want people to know by doing this my oldest son is in the 7th grade and he can read on the 9th grade level and my youngest is in the 4th grade he reads on the 7th grade level. So Borders is a nice outing and it encourages reading. Reading is important. Also unlike a library, the child gets to keep the books as their own. Also the Holidays are coming up. A nice Idea instead of a toy. Which have had major recalls, just think a nice book is the perfect gift so remember the gift card.
