#ThankfulActs Challenge: Thank a Service Member

Today is Veteran's Day here in the United States--a day to recognize those who serve, and have served, in the military. Today's challenge is to thank a service member.  

 The USO has a web page where you can send a message to a soldier.  Your local community might have  Veteran's Day activities that need volunteers.  You might know a veteran that you could thank personally.  

 What will you do?

    Well I didn't see this one in time to do it because of your post but I did thank a number of service men on Friday. Ones that I didn't know and I think that made it even better.

      My challenges can be done any day, and even better if you come up with the idea yourself! :-)

    Throughout the year, I make Quilts of Valor to be awarded to veterans. I value their service tremendously.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
