Rose's 10th Birthday

Just sneaking in to post a few photos from the weekend and yesterday. Yesterday Rose turned 10! I just ADORE ten-year old girls, I've decided. We are having so much fun right now, and I love that girl so much. Rose had a party at the Park Diner and movie theatre on Saturday with three girlfriends and me.
And then yesterday we went to the mall where she got her ears pierced and spent her birthday money.

This morning, Rose decided to go off to school. We visited Lincoln Elementary, our neighborhood school, yesterday and sat in on her new classroom with Mrs. Nelson and all the kids. I am very sad that she won't be home all day with Eli and me anymore, but her school and teacher and the students are just great. I think it will be fine.

Here is our morning tea party...We had gotten used to doing this every morning and I hate to see it end. Now we'll just have to do it earlier in the morning so Rose can get on the bus at 7:45.

And here's Rose on her "first day of school" this morning...

Happy Birthday Rose! Ten is a great age -- old enough for grown-up things like pierced ears, but still young enough to be silly with friends (and mom).

Happy Birthday Rose. And off to school!! It's probably a bigger adjustment for Mom than for her.

Happy Birthday To Rose! I love 10 it is such a fine age.

I hope Rose likes school and that it is not too tough on you to let her do her own thing. It sounds like you are all fine with the idea.

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north. News reports are incomplete and, of course, skewed to the "need for order" and fear tactics. Of course we don't want violence, but come on! Has it come to this? This could be my family! Or anyone's family, simply doing their thing...Read on...(emphases are mine) Some links first: Youtube Video Twin Cities Daily Planet news with photo Flickr photos Happenings at the RNC here in St.Paul Minnesota.
