and ballet flats - I became a shoe lover. Today I started cleaning out the closet. Don't let me mislead you, I left plenty of pairs in their organized slots, but I gathered up a dozen sets and placed them in a box destined for the organization Donate Your Old Shoes (www.donateyouroldshoes.org) where they will be shipped to people around the world who truly need them. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Good words to remember.

Our Cat |
giving her extra care. But, today she was treated to a good brushing during which she purred so loudly it resembled a motor. I fed her at the first meow signally her hunger, and replenished the water dish several times. She wasn't interested in pouncing on her toys, but the dogs enjoyed chasing them. Tonight, I am sure she'll assume her usual position beside me in my recliner feeling content about her memorable day. She is a great companion in her aloof, detached way and certainly deserving of some additional care.

Aug. 8, 2013 Military Service#TurningBlue
There is an expectation that high school seniors should continue their education and go on to college. And, in fact, many do head off to college to discover that it isn't for them, at least, not at this moment in their lives. Another option is joining a branch of the military. As stereotypes goes, mothers fear this, fathers are proud, and siblings miss their brother or sister who left the family to return as a disciplined man or woman. One of my former students just completed his basic training. He was a smart, conscientious student in school who had planned to attend college, but he decided to enlist instead. He will make an excellent soldier and defender of our country. I am as proud of him as if he had just graduated with his college degree. I sent him a card today with my congratulations and thanks for his service to the USA.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that a friendly, talkative student arrived at my house yesterday bearing a delicious cupcake and a hug for me. Then , later, I received an offer from another friend to help out at an event I am coordinating tomorrow. These acts of kindness are being produced all around me. Thanks for making my day!

August 1, 2013 Wheelchairs#HonorFlight
“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.”
― Abraham Lincoln
The Honor Flight Network is a national effort to fly World War II vets to see the memorial built to honor them in Washington, DC. This trip is free and offers them an opportunity to fulfill their dream of visiting this landmark. The local chapter will be flying two groups to our nation's capital in September. Understandably, upon arrival, wheelchairs are necessary for these elderly soldiers, and I knew they were looking to borrow some. Today I approached the pharmacist at our independently owned pharmacy to ask him if they could help. Without hesitation, he replied that they were willing to loan at least four wheelchairs to the North Country Honor Flight group. He also gave me the names of a couple of other pharmacies who may want to assist in this effort. I am delighted to play a small role in this program which is so treasured by our veterans.
