America Rejoices as our new leader takes the stage in Chicago,IL (my hometown) to greet the American public and accept him as their new President elect. Oregon happened to be one of the states that sent his votes over the number he needed to clinch the election. I have friends and relatives that have worked very hard to get him elected. Thank you to my cousin Jake and his wife Mina Neuberg and friend my freind Pam Hellesto! Job well done. Let's all hope that he can lead our country in a better direction and find peace in knowing that it appears that he is a man with good values, a decent education and the guts to try!

What is a Scarecrow?
What Do American's Do With Some of Their Land
?
In America, some farmers grow large orange pumpkins to sell to people who cut a whole in the top, take the insides out, bake the seeds and then carve it into a decorative household indoor/outdoor candle holder.
The holiday lasts for one day.
It is called Halloween. Children dress up in costumes and walk from house to house begging for candy treats.
Americans spend their hard earned money creating elaborate costumes, decorations and candy to give away.
This is an example of a scarecrow in a corn field that is supposed to scare the crows away. It is clothing stuffed with hay, with a pumpkin for a head. Why do we need to scare the crows?

Meet a Buddhist Nun
In Luangprabang I met a Buddhist nun. I went to meditate with the monks as was my routine each day at 5:30. On this day after all the monks rose to leave the temple, I noticed she was still on the floor.I reached down to lift her up and realized that none of the men helped her get up because the monks aren't allowed to touch women.
So, for years she has been getting up off the floor with ease...but on this very day I was lucky enough to help her. She was actually smiling just moments before I took this image.
