Last year, I made cookies for people who live in my apartment building, close by, people who don't really have anyone who cares about them...so I made cookies for them and gave my time and energy to spending some time with them by getting to know them better.


That was a great question homoe, so I'll use it for mine too:

Give me three ways you give back to others, at Christmas time...

Give me three things you enjoy on an daily basis....

3. She feels the cello is a more technically difficult instrument to learn as opposed to the piano and "violins are too screechy."

Miss Katz, I was just reading a review of the Marshall movie and while it got rave reviews here in the Seattle Times, they did mention it wasn't a documentary as much a very famous case he tried in the East as a lawyer defending a man against a rape charge. Regardless, I think it'll be a good movie and hope to catch it myself.

He came in when it was snowy and stayed until the weather season changed to warmer weather. I fed him and had water bowl in the kitchen.

I've fed birds at a bus stop.
I had a container of peanuts. I tossed them in the air and they flew to catch them before they landed on the ground.

I've fed birds pieces of bread at a chair outside.
They came to eat off of the ground.

GM3 of your favorite animals and why
