I should’ve added that it goes unnoticed possibly only when one is caught short !

I made a batch of blueberry muffins for my buddy Dave for breakfast Saturday, and I picked up my boyfriend’s niece and brought her to town so she could hang out with her cousins instead of staying home alone.

I’m so glad this is back. I have terrible luck with contests so I dont usally enter, but I look forward to reading what everyone does & thinking about what I can do. Thank you all for that RAK.
My year is starting small. I have a job that requires me to spend large amounts of time driving around. While I always say thank-you to the people directing traffic around road work. This year I knit a small bag & filled it with candy canes to hand out to the workers.

It’s been a rough week at work so I’m trying to be a cheerleader – organizing lunches out and trying to spread a little cheer.

A coworker at the high school where I teach just returned to school after having back surgery. I saw that she had cafeteria duty on her first week back. It’s only 20 minutes before classes begin in the morning , but that can be important preparation time. I sent her a message saying that her duty was covered for the day, and I took the shift for her. The idea spread, and now her whole week is covered!

A little late getting this posted. Just sent a yarn sample to someone on Ravelry who was looking to make a wedding shawl. She wanted to see what a brand of yarn looked like and so I sent her a few yards from the leftovers of my last project. That way she can see the yarn without having to order it. What I have isn’t the color she is considering, but at least she can check it for texture and sheen!

I just have to share about the hubby. I have a friend and the couple are friends of his as well but I really am the one who spends time with them. Their granddad recently passed and they asked him to be a pallbearer. I am too small and a girl and watching two toddlers! So my husband who has no time off at work (he is still making up time from when our youngest was born 10 weeks early due to a car accident– 2 years ago), took the day off to be there. Now to go find more good. Thanks for the reminder!

Aside from letting a few folks in front of me at the store when they has one item, we also assisted friends in transporting their 5th wheeler to some recreational property, setting it up…leveling, etc… At wally world i helped a wheelchair bound man with reaching items in a couple aisles he could not reach otherwise. Always love when you host this each year, reminds people to put others first….

Last night, on my way to my new knitting group, I got to take a picture for a mom and her two boys against a silver Xmas tree in the mall. I had to get the one boy to show me how to work the phone taking the picture, but I did not too bad. I love doing that, taking pics for random strangers. Then I don’t feel so bad asking for someone to do it for me when I’m the tourist.
