Greet the Kotzian family from Thornton, Colorado. This family, like other people with dwarfism (a rare genetic disorder of bone growth), has worked very hard to overcome social and physical barriers and can now live normal lives. The Kotzians work with Little People of America. It’s the only dwarfism support organization that helps little persons across the US. They went through a lot as there are many Americans who treat little persons like a circus act. 

Pearl Carter, 72, and Phil Bailey, 26, who is her lover and her boyfriend have happy times.

They are going to be parents soon. Carter took her retirement savings of $54 thousand to pay a surrogate mother to carry their future baby.

Pearl Carter gave her daughter Lynette to adoption when she was 18 years old because of her very strict Catholic environment. So, Pearl never knew her daughter nor her grandson Phil whom Lynette brought up on her own. Several years ago his mother was diagnosed for brain cancer and deceased 6 month later. After that, Phil decided to find his real grandmother to get to know his mother’s family.

This little house on the rocks is a lodge and restaurant for Swiss hikers who enjoy the icy slopes of the Monte Rosa mountain in the Swiss Alps. It looks like a quiet place in the middle of nowhere. I like its unique design and interesting geometric form.

This small island looks really cute. It is located in the middle of Artist’s Lake in Krasnoyarsk, Russian Siberia. It would be cool to visit this nice place in the summer.

Fans of Lord of the Rings books can do amazing things. This miniature hobbit house was built by Maddie Chambers who enjoyed the book so much she reread it over 20 times!

Perhaps some of you have seen funny types of badges before but I doubt you have seen any as hilarious as the ones in this post. Makes you wonder who thinks these things up. My favorite is the “YouraPeein Command” what’s yours?

This post is just an observation of how Apple sells its products and makes people believe that gadgets without many features are still needed by millions around the world. You can call it the-Steve-Jobs-way.

The Gashlycrumb Tinies is a cool “children” book with great pictures and funny poems that explain every letter of English alphabet designed for adults. This book, written by Edward Gorey, reminds me of And Then There Were None… Got the idea?
