"Monday's child is fair of face..."

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace;
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go;
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living;
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Stunning Sunday Sunrise!

East End Road Homer Alaska

Known for its Spectacular Views of Kachemak Bay, Grewingk Glacier and the Kenai Mountains

I was just out here Saturday...The Day was so Beautiful I had to get some pictures of one of my listings

I took the opportunity to take a few of the Bay from out East End off Old East End Road...

Thanks To Roger Imhoff (Surveyor Extraordinaire) for Providing the beautiful Sunrise Photo from His Deck....Glorious way to start the day!

Or as he says...." that sunrise and a good cuppa joe....."

No wonder he always has that smile!

Noah was my Secret Agent the other day as we made an unofficial visit to the Boys and Girls Club

Wanted to see for myself... the children the city is going to throw into the streets come winter

They were an unruly group... probably don't deserve the city's consideration....

I mean really the city council has tough decisions to make ..... they said so....

and these kids are just not really all that important to the well being of Homer Alaska???

Why not just throw them out in January.....well unless you vote for sales tax on food... and then maybe....

You can not tell me these children don't deserve the City of Homers consideration....

Use your votes wisely in the next election and all following elections...

Time to make some changes and those changes start with people

who do not think children are important.....
