new addition to the Masons
You heard it hear first. We have a new addition to our family and his name is Toby. He is a seven week old Jack Russell Terrier and is just adorable. I can tell he is going to be trouble with a capital "T" though; he is already a scrappy little fella. I will post pics soon!!

Thursday Debate
I saw this in the news the other day and had very mixed emotions about it. This guy, Todd, needs a liver and has put up two billboards on busy interstates to ask for one. He has also been covered in the media. I hope and pray this guy gets a liver transplant; his life depends on it. But if we start soliciting ourselves on billboards and such for personal transplant donations, where will the line be drawn? The organ donation system they have right now is on a need basis. The sicker patients get the organs first. If a new wave of billboards and media get into this system and becomes a popular practice, wouldn’t the people who had the means for getting to the public get the organs first? Also, if you put a name, face, and life history of someone needing an organ out there, when a loved one dies, a person may opt to give to the person who they have a tangible sense of worth too rather than just handing over the organs to the next name on the list. They may feel comforted in giving the organs to a child or mother or father or newlywed. Does that make sense? But, then again, if my husband needed an organ, I would do whatever it took to get him one. I don’t know- what do you all think?

Friday is here!
Well, time has flown by. Things are busy. And I am so so glad it is Friday. It is absolutely beautiful today. The sky is blue, the wind is cool, and the leaves are dancing all around town today, just beckoning for me to join them. It feels like fall. It even smells like it. I will enjoy it while it lasts! Today, I feel inspired to take a picture of something beautiful. I think it has to do with this blog. This gal has an inspiring gift of photography. Well, my weekend is just about to begin, so I have to run for now.
