Birkie's For YOU!

I got this brand new pair of Birki's yesterday. I was hoping they would fit, but no amount of wishing is going to make them fit. They are one size too small. The shoes are size 37 Euro and L6 M4 narrow foot bed. If you are interested in them email me!(dudleyspinner@yahoo.com) Cash would be good but a trade is always a possibility. If I got $25.00 for them I would be happy and you would be ecstatic they retail for over $100.00 around here.

Watching the news and seeing the Buddhist monks protesting, it reminds me of my experience with some Buddhist monks. This was back when I was very involved with protesting nuclear weapons and power back in the early 80's. I got a phone call that a group of Buddhist monks were marching for peace across America and could I feed and house a group of 40? I made a bunch of phone calls and got the local Mennonite church in my town to host them for a night.

We had a chili supper and I watched in awe as the monks took their bowl and poured water in it and drank the remains of the chili. This was repeated until the bowl was cleaned and stored away.

The next morning I made breakfast for them and had my daughter Meghan in her car seat just outside the kitchen door. She was about two months old and was entertained by people passing by. One saffron robed monk stopped and rubbed her bald head and pointed to his own. His grin said everything that words could not. We are alike, your daughter and I.
