Tomorrow is my dear #1 son's 32nd birthday.  Some women grow their babies under their hearts - I was blessed to grow my son (and daughter) IN my heart and to receive them as infants through adoption. God must have known exactly the technical skills a son for me would need to be blessed with - and, Oh my Lord, did He ever bless my Jeff! There is absolutely NO way I could ever, ever run my website, much less create my 'Talking™ patterns, book, and do the DVDs.. and oh, so much more - without his talents, patience, and love. In his honor, I've creatively decided to offer.....

And as a proud AMERICAN, I share this wonderful sentiment
- written by an Australian.Â
Join me in lifting our country to God
above this 4th of July!
Written by an Australian DentistÂ
To Kill an AmericanÂ
You
probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a
report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer
of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So
an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let
everyone know what an American is. So they would know when they found
one. (Good one, mate!!!!)Â
'An
American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish,
Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican,
African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian,
Arab, Pakistani or Afghan.Â
An
American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho,
Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native
Americans..
An
American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim.
In fact, there are more Muslims in America than inAfghanistan . The only
difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them
chooses.Â
An
American is also free to believe in no religion.. For that he will
answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to
speak for the government and for God.
An American lives in the most prosperous
land in the history of the world..
The
root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence
, which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of
happiness.
An
American is generous.. Americans have helped out just about every other
nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in
return.Â
When
Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans
came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their
country!Â
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan ..
The
national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your
tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the
homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America
.
Â
Some
of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11,
2001, earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the
World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries,
cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted
the terrorists.
So
you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General
Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in
the world.. But, in doing so, you would just be killing yourself.
Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place.
They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom.
 Everyone who
holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.Â
