CHANGES AT UNIQUE MOTIF -
When you walk in the store, you will notice a large, empty area, in the rear, on the left. That spot is for you! Several people have asked us about hosting Purse Parties at the store instead of in their homes. At first, we did a few but were hesitant to do more because the store was too crowded. But this empty space solves the problem and now the answer is – YES, we will host YOUR PURSE PARTY at the store. Come in and talk to Robin today!

You will see more changes in months to come . . . UNIQUE MOTIF is getting out of the home decor business . . . STAY TUNED!!!

Thank You For Shopping With Us!
/s/ Dean and Robin

Mothers’ Day Poem

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

WHEN I’M AN OLD LADY AND LIVE WITH MY KIDS

When I’m an old lady, I’ll live with each kid.
And bring so much happiness, just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they provided.
Returning each deed, oh they’ll be excited!

I’ll write on the walls with reds, whites and blues
And bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes.
I’ll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I’ll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they’ll shout!

When they’re on the phone and just out of reach,
I’ll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, they’ll snap their fingers and shake their head,
And when that is done I’ll hide under the bed.

When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I’ll not eat my green beans or salad or meat.
I’ll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry, I’ll run – if I’m able!

I’ll sit close to the TV, through the channels I’ll click,
I’ll cross my eyes to see if they stick.
I’ll take off my socks and throw one away.
And play in the mud ’til the end of the day.

And later in bed, I’ll lay back and sigh,
I’ll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping
And say with a groan, “She’s so sweet – When she’s sleeping!!”

Kathy Schneider asks your help for Humane Society

Kathy’s gym is going to the DOGS!

At this morning’s NIA class our instructor Jamie started off by telling us about an event to benefit the KOOTENAI HUMANE SOCIETY on Friday, May 8, at 10:15 am in our gym. Linda Yates, our Group Fitness Director, came up with the idea of having a combined NIA & ZUMBA class with both instructors. Every participant is asked to bring an item from the KHS “Daily Use” Wish list. Or if preferred, make a cash donation. All the money will be combined, and for each $50 a new Kuranda bed will be purchased to keep the dogs off the concrete floors when they nap. We were each given a flyer which listed all of the items on the “Wish List”. These are two very popular classes, and loaded with both dog and cat lovers. The Kootenai Humane Society should get several bags of dog and cat food donated from this session.

Peak Health & Wellness Center is located in Hayden at the Prairie Shopping Mall, near Albertson’s and Block Buster Video. If you are in the area that day, why not stop in? If you are not a member, a guest is only charged $5 for this one hour class. It is at 10:15 am, and will last one hour. Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers.

ZUMBA (Heidi) Come join the party with an exhilarating whirl of some Latin rhythms and moves to tone plus sculpt your body while burning fat. A fun fitness aerobic workout that is easy to follow.

NIA (Jamie) Combined cardio movements from Tai Chi, Tae Kwondo, Aikido, tribal and ethnic dance, yoga and jazz dance set to an energetic blend of music.

Most grateful to each of you, I remain…

Come to the Tea Party, This One is for the Children

Hello Fellow Patriots,

Well, we are down to 9 days and a few hours until we get to speak out as one voice!!! The response to our Tea Party has been great!!! I want to thank each one of you for contacting us and wanting to get involved. We are working on the details and should have things pretty well put together in the next couple of days.

What we need you to do is to continue to get the word out!!! I have attached a couple of flyers you are welcome to pass around, I know many of you already have these, but I don’t want any one to be overlooked and there are quite a few of you! Encourage people that this is a NON-Partisan event, our signs should reflect that and be non-violent, non-racist, or sexist. The last thing we want is the media to focus on something like that and not our real message. I have also attached a list of sign ideas for you to look over. The city has cleared us to use wooden picket signs so go to work, be creative and have fun with this!

When telling others about the event, encourage them to wear patriotic clothing, bring American, Idaho or Gadsten flags. You can get Idaho and Gadsten flags if you are interested from Patricia. Her email is 4wolfpeople@gmail.com

Again, thanks to everyone who has been so helpful. This event truly is OUR event and I am honored to be a part of it!

Keep up the good work and May God Bless America!!
