Iowa NOW can do so here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/​Iowa-National-Organization-for​-Women/184988744870957?sk=wall"
This link gets you to the Iowa NOW FB page. The goal is for the website and FB page to work together. Also there is Quad Cities NOW page and in the future there should be a Cedar Rapids and Iowa City FB page, which will link and cross post pretty much everything.

I will make a serious effort to post meeting dates, special NOW actions, GLBT news (as I get it and if it is timely) and overall feminist news.

The Iowa NOW page will have the Quad Cities link.

in unity

sowing and reaping and reaping.....

Many decades ago, my mother planted Yucca's. Small catuses that looked nice for several years. As the years moved into decade 2, they had (the yuccas) traveled way past orginal planting points-multipled and gotten way bigger. And the care-maintaining of the little critters was akin to eating tin foil, while putting needles under your finger nails.

So Mumsy decided that the yuccas had to go. So, she, me, Pooba (my dad) and others spent many-many days-weeks-months attacking the yuccas. Shovels, axes, rakes and many garden tools managed to almost de-yucca the front and back yard.  This process took several years. Time warp to April 2010, and the big boom, followed by the caving-in and rebuilding.  Time warp to last week and while visiting my sister (now living in our rebuilt home) we look down in the yard and see a small yucca plant. AAAHHH. The house blew up was on fire and a new foundation poured.  The yuccas live on as does our Mumsy.
