Health Care Reform passed last night! And this afternoon, Kiera, age 5, lost her first tooth.

Right on & Pass it on.

  1. My friend and I made it to the Tuesday night show on a wing and a prayer, five minutes to spare. The wing, prayer, and a blue/purple/gold night of theater are in my book of grace (blue = sorrow, purple = courage, gold = hope, sunshine, grace). Thank you, SLP, actors, director, crew, all.
