World Partnership Walk

I walked today along with thousands of others for sustainble solutions for the Third World. The Aga Khan Foundation subsidizes this amazing event and all money goes directly to women in the third world for education, for business micro loans, and to build their communities. Not one penny is spent on administration. The Aga Khan foots that bill and in his wisdom, he is putting the power in the hands of the women. His idea - the women can affect the most change through feeding and supporting their families. What an amazing vision and it is focused on solutions, not problems. Amen! Here I am with my friend Salma at the walk today.

That’s Entertainment

This guy actually gets work. He just has to go where the love is.


My Grandchildren

It has been some time since I posted on my blog and the reasons are numerous and boring. Joe and I have moved to a new house in the beautiful Gordon Head area right next to Mount Douglas and the ocean. We just love it. AbeBooks has also moved into skookum new offices and that has been a bit of work.
I also have discovered the wonderful world of audiobooks and have been listening my way through the great philosophers. I am currently on Hegel and I Kant get him out of my mind (tee hee)
Most importantly, my grandchildren will be here in 6 weeks and I cannot wait to see them. Life is good!
