a tribute to the Newtons...


John Newton- slave ship captain, writer of the hymn "Amazing Grace", and mentor to William Wilberforce who helped end the slave trade in Great Britian.





and my cat, Newton. named after John of course, not Sir Isaac or fig newtons. he might not be quite as inspiring as john newton, but he's cute.

What is it with cats and toilets. It's like the luxury water bowl I guess...they can't figure out how it keeps full all the time after all that drinking.

um, you totally forgot Olivia Newton John.

She transformed millions of adolescents and brought so much joy, style and romance to the sport of rollerskating.

yeah, i was waiting for him to fall in too, but apparently he has great toilet seat balance. he loves playing in water more than he likes to drink it!!

i'm sorry shannon, i only pay tribute to men. no woman has ever accomplished anything worth paying tribute to. (yes, i am only joking about that...)
