Ashlee sent us a package with stuff from S. America in it. Trinity got a pink scarf that she used for a head wrap - and looked very glamorous. She also got a little flowered apron with yellow edging that she turned sideways and tied around her arms like it was a bolero. Jonas got an adorable little fuzzy alpaca hat and alpaca socks with little alpaca’s on them. I was explaining to him about alpaca wool and we had just watch a show called “Franny’s Feet” this morning about shearing sheep to make clothes and he was totally into it.

Isn’t this beautiful??!!

Buy it here, or get a print.

This is proof that when people live outside of their means, they don’t know how to cope when money is scarce. What a sad thing. It sounds like their family is heartbroken, as they should be. I hope that anyone who is going through financial changes right now can inspire themselves and each other to adjust in a more logical way. I mean, you can still have happiness if you don’t have money.

Madoff is a jerk. I keep thinking of the movie Shark Tale when the Will Smith’s fish character is in front of the press and the crazy transient fish announces “I’M HIS FINANCIAL ADVISOR!” … (yes, that crazy) I think there was puppet involved too. It was funny, but the shtuff that people like Madoff pulls is not. :/
