Today is Day 5 of Moda's Size Matters blog hop.
Blogging today are Lauren & Jessie Jung, Kate Spain, Me and My Sister
Hop on over to their blogs to see why size matters to them.
It is also Buddy Poppy Day here in Algona, sponsored by our VFW Post 2541.
I dropped a donation in the box and was given a poppy. I proudly attached it to my purse in tribute to all who served.
I loved poppy day as a child. I thought the poppies were so cute and red has always been my favorite color. They were made of crepe paper back then. As a child I had no idea what a huge role these pretty little flowers played.
Here is a link that tells the history and the importance of the Buddy Poppy - a trademarked name.
Be sure to buy a Poppy when Buddy Poppy day is in your community.
Tomorrow Kathy Schmitz, Minick & Simpson, Primitive Gatherings will be blogging.
