Colorado Boy

The week before last, we were with our little Caleb in Colorado. I bet you wonder how we resisted pinching those sweet cheeks. 

I think he could have captured my heart, even if he were not related. But as it is with a grandmother...there is no way I could resist those eyes, that smile...

We came home with lots of snapshots, mostly smiling ones.  

Looking at these, make me smile even in the face of a government gone wild. 

Why in the world do we continue to pour money into Palestine, even when our people are hurting at home due to unemployment?

The United States has given them about $500 million a year over the past 10 years, yet Palestinian lawmaker Abdallah Abdallah said the money "will definitely contribute to the betterment of the economic situation, but it's not a substitute for American wrong policy."  The only 'wrong policy' I see is giving them money...any money. At least we had put some restrictions on how they could spend our dollars...but our less that wise president announced last Wednesday that he would override Congress and waive restrictions on all the remaining funds.  He said that it was in the "national security interests of the 

United States."  

Please everyone, think. Check out what is happening around the world. Notice all the times President Obama slaps down Congress and goes over their heads to do more damage to the US.  Don't blame Congress, but the one who is usurping their power.
