  Everyone loves the story of the first Christmas but, there is a new book out from Ideas Books that tells the exact same story with the words in a lyrical form.  "The First Christmas Night" , is a beautiful, hardback book by the author: Kieth Christopher.  The story of baby Jesus being born of Mary, in a stable full of gorgeous animals, and the angels of heaven rejoicing in his birth is absolutely wonderful.  I read this book to my grandsons this morning and they never moved as I read each page.  They loved the animals and baby Jesus' pictures.  One of my grandson's who is 5, especially loved the "kings" - actually the 3 Wise Men who brought gifts to the newborn king.

"2 Broke Girls" A Television Comedy Review


 Have you ever been so broke that rolling change is the only way you can eat and get gas to get to work?  I know I have.  The 70's were wonderful years for a teenager like myself.  I lived with a best friend in a little camper trailer, where the rent was way to much and it was so little we collided into one another if we both walked to the bathroom at the same time.  There was no room to move around but, we loved it.  Being 18 and on our own was the life, except when we had to worry about eating and gas for the car, which happened to be everyday.
 Both my friend and myself worked at the local fast food place.  You know the ones where you bring the food to the car on a tray.  Pay was $2.15 an hour, we were paid 2 times a month and $80 didn't go very far when you have rent, car payment, utilities and lastly - food.
