In this final issue of the Vine, I've got a little cleaning up of some loose ends and a request for help for a few families in need seeking specific things. Email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with any questions or to fulfull any of these requests!

 

Wanted: Ladies size 6.5 - 7 ski boots and snowboard boots

Somehow I lost control of the organization in the house and managed to sell my youngest daughter’s ski *and* snowboard boots at the ski swap and *forgot* to pick up new ones for her. So she’s got hand-me-down skis and a snowboard, but no boots for either. I don't mind paying for them, I just can't attach her not-so-little bare feet into the snowboard or skis.

 

Wanted: Boys size 14 - 16 winter outerwear and mens size 9 boots

This is to help a family who approached me with this request. Boots, jacket, gloves, hat and snow pants would be great!

 

Wanted to borrow: Kids clothes and outerwear for twin 6 year olds visiting from a much warmer place

Here's a request. I have a friend whose twin grandchildren will be visiting from India for three weeks in December. She would like to borrow clothes and outerwear for them and will return them in the same condition as she got them! So we need boys and girls clothes in size 6.and boots in size 12.

  • Adams-Onís Treaty: Spain Sells Florida to the US (1819)
    In the early 1800s, tensions between the US and Spain were increasing over border disputes in North America. With Spanish power in the New World declining, it was widely believed that Spain would lose land to the US. The Adams-Onís Treaty settled the dispute by attempting to draw clearer borders, roughly granting Florida and Louisiana to the US while giving everything west of Louisiana to Spain. The US did not pay Spain directly for the new land. Instead, it compensated Spain in what way? Discuss
  • First Issue of Is Published (1925)
    The New Yorker is an American magazine known for its sophisticated tone, liberal political perspective, varied literary fare, and witty single-panel cartoons. It was founded by journalist Harold Ross, who aimed to create a sophisticated, metropolitan magazine—in contrast to publications such as Life, which he saw as unrefined. Now one of the most respected publications in the US, The New Yorker is recognized for its strict style and high-quality content. Who is its mascot?
  • Metropolitan Museum of Art Opens in New York City (1872)
    "The Met" is the foremost repository of art in the US, with a collection of more than two million works of art. Established for the purpose of encouraging the study of fine art, the museum opened in 1872 with just one stone sarcophagus and 174 paintings. However, the collection quickly outgrew its gallery space and in 1880 was moved to its iconic present-day location on the eastern edge of Central Park. In recent decades, the Met has used what controversial practice to acquire high-quality art?
