Christmas Money


Christmas is only 4 months away. I just barely remembered to get August's contribution socked away!

Catching up


Here it is late August and I am finally feeling back to normal after the surgery I had in mid-May.


I helped a friend and bought a sketch pad for a an inspiring young artist in July. The money I gave the local sherrif's fund in June also helped pay for the Fourth of July fireworks, so I'm pretty pleased about that. I left a party at a friend's house to take my mom to see those fireworks and was blessed with a visit from two former students.


Of course, the best blessing is the baby my daughter is expecting in February! I have been having a grand time knitting and embroidering for him/her. I'll have to post photos on my craft blog.


For this month's extra charitable giving, I'm considering giving to the Triad Flight of Honor, a program that will fly 100 local WWII veterans to see their war memorial in Washington, DC in October. I will, of course, donate in memory of my dad.
