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.

It’s been a few weeks since Amy tossed the box in the mail but it’s finally arrived! I can’t wait to crack open the box and share the wealth. In honour of this festive occassion, I’m changing my header graphic. And maybe later I’ll take pictures of the box occupants. *yippee*

I love getting gifts in the mail. I hate sending them, not because I am cheap, but because I am so unorganized and it feels like such and overwhelming chore, but I did manage to do it today.

Oooo… the new header works so good with this theme! Yay! I waivered back and forth with the burgundy and the brown. I’m glad I went with this one!
Gifties in the mail! FunFunFun!
