We have often shared photos of Marlis and Rasa with the deer they adopted or adopted them, but this time we have a video that speaks volumes. Noticed that many, many people love their youtube work, too. No idea who introduced us, but it is a great tribute to motherhood and love...

Hi All,

Here's a short video of Marlis conversing with our deer friends.

If Americans take up this fad and make it a part of their everyday diet, what will they then find to make fun of people in other countries who eat things they think are inedible? : )

A group of experts endorse bugs as a nutritious and sustainable food source.

What Say You About the Economy?

How are you doing? I mean, how are you making out? Which translated to Today Speak means ‘is the economy wearing you down or are you just fine?’

Half of Americans polled say everything is great, no complaints…but the other half says they are drowning in debt and are scared to death. Should we all start praying or not?

When should you pray for money and prosperity…if ever? Are you aware of the need to keep your mind centered and focused on being ahead of the bill collector always or do you say “God will provide!” and damn the torpedoes and go ahead and spend?

Handling the storms of life

DID YOU KNOW THAT AN EAGLE KNOWS WHEN A STORM IS APPROCHING LONG BEFORE IT BREAKS?

THE EAGLE WILL FLY TO SOME HIGH SPOT AND WAIT FOR THE WINDS TO COME. WHEN THE STORM HITS, IT SETS ITS WINGS SO THAT THE WIND WILL PICK IT UP AND LIFT IT ABOVE THE STORM. WHILE THE STORM RAGES BELOW, THE EAGLE IS SOARING ABOVE IT.

Ingenuity Alaska Style

Only in Alaska....... This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home.... impressive!

Thimphu, Bhutan is just where?

Posted At : January 27, 2008 7:07 AM | Posted By : Ruth Lee

Exquisitely beautiful and brimming with traditional Bhutanese art, architecture, and culture, Thimphu is the tiny capital of Bhutan and described as Shangri-La by all who see it for the first time. As we spend the day exploring, we will see touches of modernity…each one introduced thoughtfully and gradually to protect the environment.

Our morning tour is geared to provide insight into Bhutan’s unique culture. We will begin with a visit to the National Library, which holds a vast collection of ancient Buddhist manuscripts as well as the world’s largest book. Then we will stop at the Arts and Crafts School, also known as “Zorig Chusum,” a traditional school that teaches 13 different arts and crafts. Then on to the TextileMuseum to catch rare glimpses of Bhutan’s finest textiles and watch demonstrations of production techniques such as weaving, dyeing, and spinning. Then on to a factory that produces hand-made paper before stopping for lunch at a local restaurant.

This afternoon we’ll visit the Handicrafts Emporium to see the exquisite artistry of traditional crafts and textiles, then drive to the Memorial Chorten, which was built in 1974 in memory of King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, the ‘Father of Modern Bhutan.’ This multi-storied monument displays numerous paintings and statues that provide a rare insight into Buddhist philosophy.

We will also visit the Takin Reserve where we will see the national animal of Bhutan—an odd beast that confounds experts, who haven’t managed to directly relate it to any other animal. A Bhutanese myth suggest that the takin is a cow-goat hybrid, but its strong resemblance to the North American moose is difficult to ignore. We will continue climbing to get a bird’s eye view of Thimphu and hike beyond the road to enjoy a stunning view of the entire valley. Snap, Snap!

We’re going to be ready for dinner at your hotel after all that!
