I also wanted to mention a loan that one of my team members pointed out, yesterday, that I thought was especially wonderful and happily reminiscent of Kiva’s “ salad days.”[/size] http://www.kiva.org/lend/382740Thanks, Carolyn.I sent that link to everyone in my folk band, which has several accordion players. One sent it to his brother-in-law, who was in Peru in the foreign service many years ago. |

Just sent a new friend a link to a post here and found myself starting at the beginning of Best Smiles and leafing through it, page by page, as though I were her, and seeing it for the first time. Hadn’t done that for EVER.
If you’ve never done it, or, if, like me, you haven’t done it for quite awhile, I’m writing to encourage you to take the time, sometime in the next week or two or three.
I’m only not even quite halfway through it, at this point, myself, but it really is (nearly) pure unadulterated pleasure. Give yourselves the gift of it.
It’s a smile!
(Actually, it’s a whole whole whole LOT of smiles).

Yes I found it somewhat interesting combination of wares for sale too. Can't say that the photo depicts selling anything but groceries but Hawah's smile is certainly sincere  |
