Foster Care Program Information

Foster Care Volunteers are needed! As a foster parent, you will provide in-home care to animals that need a break from the shelter or group farm environments, are just born and too young to adopt, or require special attention and/or training. We prefer the foster home and family environment to the small animal kennels and group housing for horses.

Volunteers receive animal-care training and supplies. You will have complete control over your time commitment and the animals that get placed in your home. In return, you are helping wonderful BFAS pets become successfully adopted.

Foster Care Volunteers are required to:

· Be eighteen (18) years of age or older
· Have health insurance
· Have a valid driver’s license and transportation
· Attend a volunteer orientation
· Have good communication skills
· Have a room, stall, paddock or area in where foster animal(s) can be kept separate from owned pets as needed.

Remember: fostering saves lives! Foster caregivers provide an invaluable service to our shelter and to the animals fostered!

Legends Granite...The Final Cut

The kitchen is so bright and beautiful...we cook more than before and the meals seem to taste so much better!

All the natural colors in the granite were so easy to compliment with the paint and accessories.

I look forward to entertaining in my new kitchen and showing off my granite countertops from Legends Granite more than ever.

It's the greatest feeling to hear my friends reaction to the beauty and enticing appeal the granite has. Everyone loves to touch it and runs their hands along the cool surface.

It's truly a new kitchen and has renewed my love for my house.

With the brightness of the granite it seemed to open up the kitchen for a bigger look. It's so easy to maintain and keep clean. I'll never look at tile again.

When I'm ready to upgrade the bathrooms next I'll be calling Legends Granite right away...you should too for a free estimate. 633-7788 or online at legendsgranite.com

Our next upgrade is the fireplace. It's still tile and well...I'm not so into that anymore.

Once again I'll post before and after pictures of the adventure because with the breathtaking beauty of granite countertops from Legends Granite...seeing is believing.

And it's amazingly affordable. Before you even think of a fake stone overlay...tile...corianne or even formica STOP...and call Legends Granite first.

You'll be surprised at the comparable prices but more than that you get the convenient and professional installation that you'll find only at Legends Granite...633-7788...legendsgranite.com

This is the granite I chose for the kitchen counters from Legends Granite.

It's got the greatest colors.

Rust and black, brown and even some olive green.

Now I have to repaint the walls :-)

The sun shone in on the new granite and it messed with the exposure of my camera.

But, you can still see the veins of color on each unique piece.

The granite back splash just finishes the look so perfectly.

I had to shut the window to get a picture without such a strong reflection.

Can't say that with tile.

I love the island. One solid slab, so perfect.

Look at the Ogee edge done by Legends Granite. So elegant.

And you can choose from several different edges.

Just check them out on their website at legendsgranite.com

This section turned out even more amazing than I thought it would.

It's great watching everyone that walks into my kitchen run their hands along the granite countertops. It's like they can't help themselves. I know I can't.

The cool, smooth texture is only one of the incredible features to my new granite countertops from Legends Granite.

Next step...we're going to do the tile area around my fireplace.

It's already started to grow into other parts of my home.

More pictures to come.

Legends Granite...part 2...my house.

My kitchen...tile, tile, everywhere!!

All the countertops are out...

next comes the beauty of real granite

countertops by Legends Granite.

.........More to come soon...........

Legends Granite

It's time to show you what an amazingly elegant and surprisingly easy and inexpensive real granite countertops can be when you use Legends Granite.

I'm getting ready to do my kitchen countertops, as you've heard on KVOR but, before they get started on my project next week I want you to see some of the beautiful work they've done for other homes.

This is the Daack's kitchen countertop before Legends Granite.

Tile and grout...where's your toothbrush Daack family?

It's pretty, but it could be so much more

This is the Daack's countertops after Legends Granite.

No need for a toothbrush now.

Look at the 'glow' of the granite! And check out the stunning beveled edge!

This is the Kaletta's house...they chose Legends Granite after hearing about them from a friend who had work done as well. They could have chosen anyone but the saw the work Legends Granite does but not only that...the workers are professional and the choice of granite is endless.

This is my favorite picture from the Kaletta's home because this island is actually one solid piece of granite. No seam...just one, perfect, solid slab of perfectly cut granite.
Solid.

The next few days and weeks I'll be posting more pictures on additional pages for you to enjoy. If you'd like to schedule an onsite consultation call Legends Granite at 633-7788 or email them your dimensions to www.legendsgranite.com.

Thanks for reading...more to come!

The Air Force Academy has an honor code that seems so simple...yet almost impossible to live by. It goes like this; "We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does."
That kinda reminds me of something I read in a book one time called the Bible. There was a page dedicated to something called commandments.
Now I'm by no means perfect and I don't always abide by the three simple rules but I'm not running for a government office. I'm not being paid millions to be a grand slam slugger. I'm not the leader of a powerful church. It's still no excuse but I'm not held nearly as accountable as certain people are and the degree of such deception some people can sink to is more than I'm capable of.
But, obviously it's nothing to just blatently lie and take advantage of your position for some people. I think the situtation with Ex-Govorner Blagojevich is just simply disgusting and I'll tell you why I think so. He's seriously not seeing that he did anything wrong and I'm feeling that he's not seeing any error in his ways because that's typical for the government. What he did has always been done and continues to be done now so, how can he be wrong if everyone is doing it?
Same with the MLB. Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire and Alex Rodriguez should all be banned from baseball and not be given any chance of entry in the Hall of Fame. They didn't earn it. It's that basic. Enhancing their performance to be the best instead of being the best on your own volition isn't true sportsmanship. It's not what the game was based on. So many players have never shot up. Most players have true talent and a never ending passion for the sport that wouldn't have allowed them to compromise their position. Then there's the wussy's that can't do it on their own. They need that extra boost they just don't naturally have to be the overpaid, overrated hero we expect them to be.
And wow, don't get me started on the church and Ted Haggard. I was raised Roman Catholic and if nothing else I was taught that the fear of God should be enough to keep you in line more than anything else. But this guy gave the definition to my word 'Hypo-Christian'. Those are the people that go to church on Sunday's just to ask for forgiveness for doing all the crappy things they do all week only to leave the parking lot of the church, cut you off at the intersection then flip you off as they speed away doing 45 in a 25.
So seriously...what is the truth? Should we even be held accountable anymore? I mean really, you can still be a high paid government official or an even higher paid sports star or even better, you can be wealthy enough to buy your way into Heaven. There really aren't any consequences...but God's not fooled.
Thanks for reading.
