http://derrickoliver.blogspot.com/2007/10/quarter-milestone.html
This one almost came and went like your odometer rolling over 100,000 miles and you looking at it on mile 100,002. Luckily, almost doesn't count. I caught it just in time. We have avoided a great disaster today my friends. As many of you know, things here at odfm started way back on May Fool's Day, 2005, with a debut post most have never read and the rest have forgotten. It's mind-blowingly creative title was, " testing. Boasted double digit comments (thanks to Jon. And myself. Of course we weren't t...

Thai Adventures: The sand between my toes...
http://brookebrandon.blogspot.com/2009/07/sand-between-my-toes.html
Wednesday, July 01, 2009. The sand between my toes. What is the first thing you want to do when you learn how to walk? My 11 year-old friend, Nat, answered, "Go to the beach! Nat wants to know what it's like to run along the shore and feel the sand between his toes. Nat was born pre-mature with cerebral palsy. His family lives in a village about 50 kilometers south of Chiang Mai. I've known Nat for about 2 years and not a day passes by that he doesn't have a huge smile across his face.

Thai Adventures: February 2009
http://brookebrandon.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. Conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. Would you believe that "normal" has twelve different meanings. at least on dictionary.com? Although they pretty much all say the same thing. Above is just number 1. FYI: Apparently there is a city named Normal in Illinois. What is "normal" anyway? No matter the present norm, the current standard, the common expectations. we all share the same deep needs and longings. May their eyes be opened.

Thai Adventures: May 2009
http://brookebrandon.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 14, 2009. This week I had one of my favorite moments in Thailand. I woke up yesterday morning thinking about my sweet little friends at the government orphanage down the road. I've seen these kids grow up over the past 3 years. They were in the baby class and now they're almost on their way to kindergarten! If you look in this precious girls' hand you'll see a sunflower seed. My job for about an hour was cracking open these seeds for four of the kids. It was loads of fun. Can you believe it?

Monday, April 09, 2007. People take Easter a little too far with all the eggs and the bunny who comes to your house. And gives you presents. People focus way way too much on that stuff and not enough on what the real meaning of Easter is, Jesus' resurrection. He came down and died for us and got holes put through his skin and we repay him by focusing on a bunny? I just wanted to write and say Happy Easter! Just think to yourself, What does Easter really mean? Sunday, April 01, 2007. My super cool cuz.

Saturday, July 05, 2008. My best friend Jalie has left for a week and I am very lonely! I have gotten through half of the week , half to go! My 4th of July was very fun! We went to one of my dad's customers, daughters land. We had gone skiing with before. They have 1200 acres,2 very cool expensive pools, exotic animals like zebras and elk, and tennis courts. It was very cool riding on the little go-cart thing through the forest and seeing all the animals! Hope your July 4th was very fun and exciting!

Sensational Stories By Sydni: My Birthday
http://3freemans.blogspot.com/2007/12/my-birthday.html
Sunday, December 09, 2007. Ok, so we went to Sea World for my birthday and it was a blast! We rode the Steel Eel and the Great White. My mom didn't and Diana didn't ride the Great White. Diana couldn't cause she was like 2 inches too short. My mom just hates roller coasters. No, she likes the Steel Eel. So my dad and I rode it together. I was about to chicken out but I came back. It was fun! Kathryn, Michael and Alex. I am so glad that you had a fun birthday party. Christmas will be fun! My super cool cuz.
