Just Joking!!

APRIL FOOL’S !!!!

Ha! Ha! {doubling over with laughter} Did I get ya?

Yes, in my Martha dreams, this really happens. hee!!!

Make sure you visit I ? Faces to see what Angie, her sister Andrea and I are up to today… you WON’T want to miss it!

Okay, all joking aside now…

I found out about some bloggers who organized a campaign against hunger. I think it’s a wonderful idea and hope you’ll join me donating and spreading the word.

Do you know that…
  • One in eight Americans are at risk for hunger?
  • Four million Americans receive assistance from Feeding America each week?
  • Children who are hungry have slower emotional, social and educational development?
  • Millions of elderly Americans go to bed hungry every night?

It is so critical that those of us who are not in this position help those who are. So many people have have lost their jobs through the massive layoffs. They have exhausted all of their resources. Elderly people on fixed incomes are finding that costs are out-pacing their incomes.

Please take time today to make a donation, even if it’s just a dollar or two. It will help someone who may be less fortunate than you are.

Here’s the link to Feeding America, an affiliation of more than 200 food banks across the country. Chances are that your local food bank is a part of this network

Thank you so very much.

    No Way! I just woke David up (we always fall asleep while watching movies) to tell him that “Amy Kelderman got chosen as one of Martha’s top ten favorite bloggers!” It’s April 4th, I’m just now catching up on my Google reader and the fact that I might have been reading an April Fool’s joke escaped me. Well, be honored that we believed it!
