"In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds."

Looking for an Aluminum-Free Baking Powder? Your local Watkins dealer stocks such a thing. Why is this important? How about that association between aluminum and Alzheimer?s, remember? (That?s a joke.)

A Native American Prayer:

O Great Spirit, whose Voice I hear in the Winds,
Hear me -- for I am small and weak:
I need Your Strength and Wisdom.
I seek Strength, O Great One, not to be superior to my Brothers --
But to conquer my greatest enemy: Myself.
I seek Wisdom: the Lessons You have hidden
In every Leaf and Rock so that I may learn
And carry these messages of Life and Hope to my People.
May my hands respect the many beautiful things You have made;
May my ears be sharp - to hear Your voice.
May I always walk in Your beauty;
And let my eyes behold the red and purple Sunset
So that when Life fades with the setting Sun,
My Spirit will come to You without shame.

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
not the kindly smile,
not the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration
that comes to one when he discovers
that someone believes in him
and is willing to trust him
with his friendship."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"And to see you're really only very small and life flows on within you and without you"
