I turned 53 on Sunday. I was asked a number of times what I wanted for my birthday. I said I didn't want anything. Saying things like "pay off my mortgage" seemed a little too excessive. I was referred to a web site where you could purchase things for needy families in Haiti and other places around the world. I now know what I want for times when people want to buy me a present.
My kids got me a goat. The goat is going to a needy family in Haiti. It's a win-win situation. I can give something of value to someone else and it can still be a present to me.
I love it. I got a goat for my birthday. Some family in Haiti will benefit from my turning a year older. I couldn't be more pleased.
The web site, if you are interested is www. buya.org.

I've heard of this program, and others like it - very cool! Now I'm wishing that I had asked for a goat, too....
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, JIM -- YOU NEW GOAT, YOU! (What an awesome gift!)
