Beautiful rainbow in Grapevine. I saw the full arch and a double rainbow. I’ve never seen anything like it. Lovely!

Owen is on line 16 of 50 - “I will be nice to all people.” He spit on Hale when I left them alone this morning. Since Hale’s birth, he’s hit Hale, bit Hale and now spit on him. For a few moments I considered taking Owen to the woods and leaving him for our Grapevine coyotes. Still in the realm of possibility.

A step closer now. I just can’t wait.

President Bill Clinton stopped in Grapevine for Hillary’s presidential campaign 26 February, 2008.
I helped organize nearly a dozen volunteers for the event in less than two hours and worked for hours in the cold the day of the event.
The thanks was unexpected and AWESOME!
(Found this old video and had never posted. He got the club’s name wrong, but he got my name right.)

Help Haiti, here
So you’ve already donated money or you are not in a position to donate money? Donate your unwanted items!
Two phenomenal young adults I have the pleasure to know have worked with a clinic and rescue center at Real Hope for Haiti for four years. Scarlett and Graham work with The Good Samaritan Clinic in Cazale, Haiti, miles outside of Port-au-Prince, which operates free of cost to those in need, treating malnourished children, terminally ill adults and those in need of a consistent prescription medicine program. The earthquake has flattened the store where the clinic’s supplies are purchased.
I’ve attended their annual fundraiser for years and seen in video and photos their successes. As a mother and woman I know the importance of clean supplies at a birth, the importance of nutrition and medicines when needed and cannot imagine having to do without.
Tomorrow (Saturday), Scarlett and Graham are hosting a garage sale with 100% of the proceeds for the clinic. Read more about the clinic here and here. The sale will be at 7013 Trinidad Dr. North Richland Hills, from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Call Scarlett if you want to donate your items, 817.992.2560. And stop by to shop the sale!
Also, save the date for 13 February, for their annual fundraiser brunch with silent auction “Romance on Lake Grapevine”, at Paradise Cove. In the past two years, the event has raised more than $10,000 for the clinic, provided a laboratory and maternal mortality prevention programs. The ticket donation is tax deductible.

"Familiar Pedestrian Killed Crossing Texas 26"→
We have seen Leslie Scribner in our area of north Grapevine for a very long time. I am so surprised he lived in south Grapevine and walked here daily at times. We last saw him two days ago on our way to church. So sorry to read this. We enjoyed seeing his myriad of toys he would pull along side of him, most often though, two or three pull toys at once.

“Will find it hard to sleep tonight…”
Owen is so wound up and excited about Santa that he’s been up at least eight times in the past hour.
We called Santa and Owen cried and said he’d go to sleep. Santa said he would like to visit with Owen if he could stay up until his Grapevine arrival, but that he has children all over the world to visit. Owen agreed to stay in bed and was cheered up that Santa wouldn’t skip our home. Then he went to bed.
And got up again twenty minutes later.
This is going to be a long night.
