Remember the Fall by Doing Something Good on 9/11

I really like this idea from "DoSomething.org" so I thought I'd pass it along.

Take Action on 9/11. September 11th is The National Day of Service and Remembrance. And we want YOU to honor the day by taking action in your communities. Tell us what you'll do on 9/11 by this Friday,9/4 at 5 pm EST, and DoSomething.org will send you a T-shirt!

Check it out at http://www.dosomething.org/user/login?destination=node%2F438161. Or post your ideas to this blog and encourage others to great things on 9/11.

Until the next nap time...

Kitten Needs Loving Home

Last night, my husband found this cute kitten in the street. Apparently, the house across the street went through a landscaping makeover and turned up a kitten. Trent picked up the cat to move it out of the street, but then the cat followed my husband everywhere. The cat sat on our front porch crying so we gave it some water and cat food. Since we already have 5 cats, we can't keep this one. (My cousin Jon calls me "Cat Woman.") Unfortunately, I think it might be sick so we need a good home for him/her soon.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT THIS CAT, please email me.

Until the next nap time...
