It's been unseasonably cool and rainy here today, so I hunted out a "cinnamon roll" candle and lit it. It didn't just smell like fall, it smelled like Christmas!

A little early shopping
Which reminds me, I renewed gift subscriptions for my mom, my mother-in-law and my daughter. I do this every year as part of their Christmas gifts.
Instead of an order
When I received an invitation from my little neighbor's school to buy magazines, I declined. Instead, I took her a check for a donation to her school. The school will get all of that money, and I don't have another magazine subscription that I don't want.

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.

Charities for June
This month, I gave to St. Jude's Hospital and the local Sheriff's Fund. I also sent a little extra to Tani, the child I sponsor in Honduras. Her birthday is Christmas Day, so she needs a little "half birthday" present.
