My husband, Mr Terry is an avid reader!       In this picture he's reading the delicious menu from The BIG Kitchen in San Diego. Yum!

In addition to menus he reads the local newspaper every morning. Currently he is also reading a fiction novel titled Zorro by Isabel Allende.

An endangered species is an animal that is in danger of becoming extinct. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) reports that out of 47,000 species of animals and plants surveyed, more than 17,000 could become extinct!
That's means one out of five mammals and one out of three amphibians are on the brink of extinction.^*
