Don’t forget to consider giving Grandpa Do It! I Do It, Too! as a Christmas or Chanuka present for Grandpa or for Grandson! Grandpa, Do It! I Do It, Too! is an Award-Winning Finalist in the Children’s Mind/Body/Spirit category of the National Best Books 2009 Awards sponsored by USA Book News.
The boys and girls love the book when I read it to them at daycare centers and libraries. They get right into it and tell their own stories about their grandparents. Grandpas, on the other hand, sometimes get teary-eyed and nod their heads and say “Oh, yes, I remember when……” Grandmas take one look at it and say “It’s darling. I must have a copy!”
It’s available at Amazon right now – get it today on Black Friday and take advantage of the special shipping deals Amazon is offering!

Thinking that hypoglycemic conditions may be causing son’s bad behavior, Mom has started researching dietary changes to see if modifying his diet makes any difference. Doctors have tested him but everything came back normal. It surely doesn’t hurt to lower the sugar intake for anyone’s diet. Today most of the health books on the market seem to be getting back to the basics of whole food and fresh fruits and vegetables. Doing that seems to clear up a lot of illnesses without furthur medication. I know I have been feeling much better since I’ve been eating healthier!
Stephanie Kenrose’s Reactive Hypoglycemia website is very informative and a super source for further links and information. Here is The Mayo Clinic page on Reactive Hypoglycemia.

According to the News Release in the paper yesterday, an exciting extravaganza is set to celebrate Disney’s newest animated musical “The Princess and The Frog.” Walt Disney Studios is opening its Burbank gates for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the studio which is normally not open to the public (not since the 1940s!). Also, all the Disney princesses will be there! Over 3.5 hours of family fun!

At Juvenile Hall in Orange County Scout, Biscuit and Gizmo were released to new homes last Friday, Nov 20th. What a special, awesome program between the county’s Community Resources Department, the Probation Department and Another Chance for Love! Taking on extra duties of training, maintaining and bonding with the three dogs were nine young men (17 and 18 years old) as they learned what having patience is all about! This is a remarkable story. I hope they repeat the opportunity often to the young men there! If you are interested in adopting a dog in the Another Chance for Love program, contact Janette Thomas at acfl09@yahoo.com or 714-505-9235.
The Orange County Register blog by Samantha Gowen is here and her article is here. Another California Youth Authority project in Norwalk is also reported by Bethania Palma Markus. Great work! Kudos to Jeanette Thomas!
Kudos also to Sr Pauline Quinn! She has been involved with Pathways to Hope which also helps to start programs in prisons all over the United States where inmates train dogs to help the disabled. Pathways to Hope also has other programs.
