Tuesdays Child is full of Grace.....

"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.

Tuesdays Child is full of Grace

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

Vote for the Boys and Girls Club

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

Vote for the Boys and Girls Club

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

Vote for the Boys and Girls Club

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

Vote for the Boys and Girls Club

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

Vote for the Boys and Girls Club

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

Vote for the Boys and Girls Club

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

Vote for the Boys and Girls Club

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.....
