Dani Kaye's Early Steps In Her New Birthday Jammies

Dani Kaye got some money for her birthday and, since it is starting to get cold here, I decided to use it to get her some warm jammies. Here she is wearing them for the first time and showing off her newly-learned walking skills:

An E-Mail From Diane

This didn't happen to Diane, she was just kind enough to pass it along. : )

I asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'

She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give
him the $50 to use towards food and a new house.'

The little girl thought that over for a few seconds while her Mom glared at me, and then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work and you can just pay him the $50?'

I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'

Her folks still aren't talking to me.

Another Version

I just have not been able to get the song out of my mind that I posted last night. I found another version of it that touched me just as much as the other one. I know that others are just as capable of perusing youtube as I am but I really love this song so I am going to post this version too.
