FINALLY!

OK, So I'm NOT "gun loving", but I will shoot a snake if I have to .
I am excited about this book.

Saw it on THE BROWN BULL blog(see Groovy Doovy Blogs).

I ordered it today and it can not get here fast enough!

I think my sister-in-law ordered it, too -
so I'm sure it will lead to many hours of coffee drinking and conversations
about God, Parenthood, and fighting the Good Fight.

I would have been a good Hippy in the 60's.

My Aunt Ronda was a hippy. Use to iron her hair. Older pictures
showed her ALWAYS holding up the "PEACE" sign. My mom has some great
stories about her"craziness". My mom would just shake her head-
But somehow I always got it.
We use to go to her house and I would listen to her talk, and I was
convinced that I was really supposed to be her daughter.
That someone had made a HUGE mistake and gave me to
the wrong sister.

She was my mom's younger sister. She died a few months ago
from heart failure. I miss her.

I hate that she will not be around to see and appreciate all of
these grass-roots movements; the return of the large family, home-births,
people demanding mercury-free vaccines, pesticide & NGE free foods,
Christians taking control of their children's education,
Simple Living as a choice, "Green" Villages being built using solar
power in the homes, Eco-tourism, and Environmental Safety.

These are things she and her generation knew to be
important.

"Those Darned Hippies!"

People are getting smarter. We are paying attention.
We are demanding a say. We are demanding better for our families.
We are no longer taking someones word for it.

We are a "diverse tribe of countercultural conservatives".
And for that, I will not apologize.

My Aunt Ronda would be pleased.

Peace.
