March Special Days
Have a picture of my Grand-daughter, Alyssa Aldrich –she is giving “blood “on her Lunch Hour – and with the big smile – you can see she is enjoying giving the best gift – one’s own blood to save another’s LIFE!
March is the Red Cross Month – and I am so proud of Alyssa for caring enough to give her own blood – and without having been, even asked to do so.
When Alyssa, e-mailed this photo over to me – it was the best picture to have received – I just had to make a couple of copies – immediately!
I used to give blood years ago and even did RED CROSS volunteer work for the grade school that my sons were attending – so you know how long ago that was. There came a time- when my blood decided to change. When they do that test to be sure you have enough iron – my blood would not do the drop and spin test – and then they just could not get my blood to fill up the require amount needed for a successful donation?
Looks like I needed to take iron supplements – and still have to take my vitamins.
March 1st, 2014 was Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! Without knowing that – last weekend I had made Peanut Butter Cookies – and they were the best. It was only in the last year that I had decided to try “Peanut Butter” – all the years that my sons were having “Peanut Butter” sandwiches when they were in grade school – I just could not even think to eat it. And, to put Grape Jelly on the same sandwich – that was too much for me – but now I just love “Peanut Butter” on one slice of toast and then on another slice of toast, I’ll put some jelly. I cut each slice of toast into four pieces and will eat one little square of peanut butter and then one little square of the jelly toast. It sounds odd – but at least, that’s the best way for me to enjoy the favorite sandwich of everyone!
