1. Giving Back


Our community has shown great support for my family over the last few years due to the children’s illnesses. While I was relieved that we had some help, I felt guilty accepting it. Then someone once said to me,”When someone gives to you-it’s as much of a blessing for them as it is for you. Don’t turn them down and take that blessing away from them.”

I didn’t know the true meaning of that until tonight. A friend of mine had her house broken into a few days ago. The thief stole just about everything.

Then I found out that even the children’s things were gone.  I looked around my house at the evidence of all those who helped us before. A generous community plus three children equals toys to the 10th power.

I called my friend and offered to give some of the things we had. My children were not just happy to share - they were excited. When my friend came to pick the toys and books up, the kids practically ran her over at the door.

I watched in awe as my friend smiled and looked over the large pile of toys, with my kids showing her everything. I usually only see that glow on people’s faces at Christmas time.

It was nice to give back to others in their time of need. My friend was right before. Giving is a blessing for the giver as well as the receiver. Maybe even more so.

3. Help please - storing/sharing photos online

If you use one of the online photo albums to upload pictures and share them, please tell me the EASIEST one to use that will allow big photos (high res) to be uploaded.

My former mother-in-law takes hundreds of pictures of my grandson when she has him every week and I never get to see them because they are too big for her to email. She's not technically inclined (though she's using a digital camera) and I'd like to have my son show her how to use an online album so she can share them all with me. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

4. Witch in the House by Jenna McKnight

When a spell goes horribly wrong, Jade Delarue tries everything in her power to fix it.  All she was trying to do was help a man who was jilted and open up her own heart to love.  But soon Mason Kincaid is staying at her B&B and doesn’t seem to ever want to leave.  What can she do to fix it?  Or maybe it doesn’t need to be fixed and it is Jade’s eyes that needs to be opened up.  But first secrets must be revealed and the past will rise up to throw dirt in Jade’s face.  Can she face her heart and her past so she can move to her future?
