This and That
(The Crape Myrtle blooming in our front yard.)
This week was a short one, and we celebrated the Fourth of July quietly at home. Tonight is brew night, and we’re gearing up for a fun weekend celebrating Rhys’ third birthday! Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.
Giving birth in the United States is one of the most expensive things a woman will ever do.
Insurance should cover midwifery care.
One father’s perspective on the abortion issue.
A Barbie that looks like the average 19-year-old girl. A real one.
A new exhibit of royal dresses at Kensington Palace.
And the Battle of Gettysburg re-enacted, with just a few modern conveniences.
Have a wonderful weekend!
wow, Catherine. the article on the high-costs and lack of health care coverage for pregnant women is an eye opener. and just to think – some assume when you have insurance all of your problems are solved. yeah…not so much.
and BTW…i’d buy that life-like more realistic Barbie in a heartbeat!
Yes, that article was really surprising! And I love that Barbie, too. 🙂
