A great novel is a kind of conversion experience. We come away from it changed. — Katherine Paterson, Gates of Excellence
Elizabeth says: Well, I literally just finished reading the latest headlining story in the ‘Parade” magazine about the first lady chosen for our Supreme Court Justice, Mrs. Sandra Day O’Connor. And then I came here & read your topics for today & saw your pictures & thought how fitting yet again. Amazing strides in history for women & indeed some (if not most) of it still quite fresh. Also should note that I took the, “Can You Pass The Citizenship Test?” in the magazine’s sidebar. Seems Mrs. O’Connor has helped develop a Civics curriculum to help more than the 1 out of 3 American adults that cannot answer at least 6 (out of 10) questions correctly? I passed but some of the questions I really had to think about…?
Winnie Nielsen says: What is most disturbing about voting rights at present are the states trying to purge voting rolls and make it more difficult for citizens, mostly on the margins, to vote. I have a feeling that the women in this photo would have been outraged at today’s efforts to deny voting rights for political gains!!
MaryJane says: Very disturbing indeed.
MaryJane says: With all of our girls now pregnant, we’ll be selling some of our miniatures. Game? They make great pets.
Winnie Nielsen says: What a sweet photo of the girls! I love their coloring and big gentle eyes with this long eyelashes. Such beauty could only result in sweet creamy milk!
