Please vote for Isla!

Hello,

Please consider voting for  Isla to help her win “Baby of the Year”.  The prize money could help their growing family move out of their tiny and very crowded apartment.

“Baby of the Year” is a competition organized by Baby2Baby. If  Isla wins, the prize money would help her family put a downpayment on a house, finally getting them out of their tiny apartment.

“Baby2Baby is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that aims to provide children living in poverty across the country with. . . basic necessities. . .”   

The competition allows everyone a free vote once each day. This is, however,  a fundraiser which awards additional votes in response to donations.  You can help in the following ways:

  • Use your free vote EACH day.  Just click this link to Isla’s “Baby of the Year” voting page.
  • Spread the word to people you know.
  • If you wish to make a donation, remember that there are three rounds so you may want to “ration” the amount you decide to give.

This has been our rationing strategy during the first rounds:

  • Keep your eye open for “doubler” days where all free votes and donations count for double.  Only donate on those days.
  • Donate as late as possible on the doubler day.
  • Donate only if Isla is not in first place.

Our thought is that this strategy could help conserve resources for all three rounds.

Thank you for your support..

Merry Christmas 2021

This year, while John and Dad sat home after testing positive for Covid, John used his “corona-cation” as he called his time off to put together a fun little video of our typically chaotic Christmas. Hope you enjoy.

Turkeys

A family of wild turkeys wandered by the other day. Since they really seemed to pay no attention to me, I snapped a few pix. And since I’m trying to get a bit more proficient at adding content to thordarson.org, I thought I would make a post.
