Poppy Count
Poppy count charitable donation grand plan
Each year since returning to Canada full-time in 2007, I have counted the poppies I see people wearing from the day the poppy campaign begins until 11am on November 11th. I'd tally up the count, donate 0.10$ per poppy, and send a cheque to a local veterans organization.

It used to be a sizeable donation.

In recent years, I've noticed my poppy count decreasing. I worry sometimes that people have begun to forget the past. I worry that we will soon relive their horrors in our future.

I don't base my donation on poppy counts anymore. And I no longer wait until Remembrance day arrives to make them.

I am changing too. Hopefully, for the better.

Happy Hallostween

Scribbled down on November 1st, 2006 by she

Happy Halloween – or as we like to call it in our house – happy “dogs go barky barky all night” day.

I’m thrilled to report I’ll be able to attend the Support our Troops Rally at Churchill Square on Friday. I’m looking forward to it – not just because I get to demonstrate my support for the guy in blue (and green) who shares my home, life and love but also because I may get a chance to meet up with the Dust my Broom crew. My only worry is that I won’t know how to recognize them without the Smelly Hippies sign!
