Let's Say "Thanks" to our Military

Our friend, Don Williams passed along the information on LetsSayThanks.com. From this site, you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

Don says, "How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second. It’s not SPAM, and it doesn’t ask for your email address."

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them. This takes just a few seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's.

Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

And thanks, Don, for passing on this great site!

Sponsor a Family through your Local Food Bank

At Christmas, our company sponsored a local young couple with five children and another baby on the way. On a Saturday afternoon, my mother, sister, husband and I delivered two carts of groceries and an artificial Christmas tree complete with lights and decorations to the delight of some very excited youngsters.

It was so rewarding to see them clapping their hands and jumping around with joy with each trip we took to bring everything in from our cars. My mother immediately held the attention of the one-year old girl and passed out green-frosted Christmas tree cookies. My sister took pictures of all the activity and my husband set up the Christmas tree and helped the children decorate it.

The oldest boy asked me, "Are you the lady that brought us all these presents?" as he pointed to the pile of gifts we had delivered earlier in the week for their parents to see and wrap for their children. It made my heart smile to say, "Yes, I'm one of those ladies."

Before we left, they all proudly lined up in front of their Christmas tree and smiled for our final picture. What a wonderful day!

In 2009, our local food bank has found the same family for us to sponsor and they are now a family of nine. We'll keep you posted!

High Heel Boots Christmas Stockings

Usually you have to look inside a stocking for surprises. This one's covered with 'em: color, texture, hand-worked embellishments, tiny shiny things. And it's a perfect match for the Sari Patch Tree Skirt, available separately. Spicy!

The Kindle - Should be first on your Wish List!

My husband bought me a Kindle for Mother's Day. I have to say, "This thing is amazing!!!!" I'm always reading something, books-fiction and non-fiction, magazines, newspapers, you name it, I read it. This summer, I even figured out to put my Kindle in a large Ziplock bag while floating in the pool!

It didn't take me long to figure out that I hear a book advertised, read about a book, someone tells me about something I have to read, I turn on my Kindle, and in less than 60 seconds, my choice has been downloaded to my Kindle.

If this isn't great enough, you know when you're engrossed in your book, you can't put it down, put you need to drive to work, clean the house, make dinner...no problem, click on the "text to speech" option and

YOUR KINDLE CAN READ TO YOU!

I turn on the speech option, put on my headphones and go on with the rest of my life, all while "listening" to my book. Amazon really needs to stress this option more to us readers who still have a life to live.
