Thoughtful Thursday – Today’s the Day!

Today’s the day we drop her off at college. Jeep is almost packed. I started loading it last night, but now we need to put on the roof carrier and finish the job. It’s packed and I’ll try to get a picture later of her with all her things.

Hopefully it will all fit into her dorm room!

So, today’s post will be short since I have to head off for a last minute check of everything to make sure we’re not leaving anything at home.

Wish me luck.

Tuesday Tip – Becoming an M&M

Thoughtful Thursday – Remember Me

A few weeks ago I made my shoebox for Operation Shoebox and dropped it off. I hope whichever GI got it is enjoying the goodies I put inside.

So this video is about our GIs. The sacrifices they make. Please think about them and do something, even if it’s just filling up a shoebox care package. If you want to consider what else you can do, please visit the America Supports You site, where you can find other ways to help out.

This is a long video, but don’t cut away until it’s done. And make sure you’ve got your hankies ready.
