The days on the long road of one families Ethiopian Adoption

This blog started out as a way to record the twists, turns, highs and lows in my families journey to adopt siblings from Ethiopia. Now our children are home and we have just finished celebrating our first year as a family.

I'm Kimberly (or Fendesha), an adventurous person who aspires to be a vagabond- but for now- I spend all of my free time travelling and my down time thinking of travelling. I'm a mom of 3 (the oldest being my gorgeous canine companion), a IT project manager, and on occasion I find myself the primary writer of this blog.


Happy Reading and thank you for stopping by.

Invictus by William Ernest Henley


Got out of the house tonight-with my sweets- woooo hooo--together is something we don't do very often.  
So, what did we do "on a school night"- Since it was my choice- (grin) we went to see Invictus..
Invictus is apparently Latin for unconquered.
It was one of those movies that I came home from and had to look up the title and story to learn a bit more.....


Invictus... by William Ernest Henley...1875 (*but not titled by him)

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.


Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.


It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Add to that the question of whether or not these free chips are being offered by honest online casinos, and we enter an area worth some study or serious research.



Now with a low enough play though requirement and a casino game that's not rigged more than the house advantage you may just make the play through requirement and keep the bonus that's left over. One example is baccarat which has one of the best player advantages. Good luck on your online casino adventures!

You will discover a large number of online casinos that exists, but be sure to read all the information, including casinos, casino payments, and casino reviews, casino bonus, and casino promotions and be sure to read about the casino you want to play so you can see all the stuff that online casinos have to offer.

It is very important that the casino you choose to register for the offer at any of your favorite games, such as virtual table games, slots and rollers. The online casinos usually have a list of games they offer on their website to see the potential players. In case your favorite games are not listed, it is advisable to proceed to the next casino.


One method to check the reliability of online casinos is to check the software vendor from whom they have leased their games. Currently, the casino software developers in the market who are reputed to produce ethical and quality casino software are Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech and CryptoLogic Inc.
