A Lion Called Christian

     A posting of a short youtube clip on a friend's Facebook page about the gratitude shown on by a lion on its saviour...

     led to another friend introducing me to another amazing clip of a lion's reunion with his two former playmates...

     which then led to an hour of watching clips of this wonderful animal, Christian, on Animal Planet's special feature of Christian The Lion's Cutest Moments.  It was definitely an hour well-spent. Thanks Michelle!

     Sometimes it is possible for wild animals to interact successfully with humans. It's not surprising though that the most majestic of them all, the lions, would provide such startling examples! 

An Earnest Finding

     A few weeks ago, one of my 2nd graders came into the office with friend and told me that she'd found something.

     This is a regular occurrence so I stopped what I was doing and paid attention, especially considering how earnest she looked.

     She carefully unzipped the coin section of a pink wallet almost as big as her palm - probably because she had coins in the notes section of the wallet, too! - so I thought it was a few cents. So it amazed me when she took this out.

     Holding in my laughter, I thanked her for her finding and told her to put all her coins into the zippered coins section.

     Oh to give an idea of how 'big' a find this is, here it is again next to a stapler.

Gotta love kids and their honesty eh?

A Hugh Distraction...

     My sis and I were in Johor Bahru, Malaysia over the weekend and as we were walking, I got distracted...

     So of course I had to stop and admire and pose...

     Not clear enough? Let's zoom in, shall we?

     So Lipton Iced Tea gives Hugh Jackman a "Positive Taste"! Now doesn't that just make you want to go to the store and get yourself one too?!
