Toomers for Tuscaloosa

If you know anything about football you know about the fierce rivalry between Auburn University and the University of Alabama. When the trees at Toomers Corner were poisoned by *that* Alabama fan, the Crimson Tide Nation stepped up to show their support for the legendary trees, and in part for Auburn. Now Auburn fans are standing up to support the tragedy in Tuscaloosa.

A group has been created on FaceBook called Toomers For Tuscaloosa.

The Pioneer Woman has even Blogged about supporting the Tuscaloosa (and other places in Alabama that were effected) — she is donating (4) $500 donations to a charity of the winners choice.  She would prefer the money be donated to a charity that will help the tornado victims, but is not limiting it.  All you have to do is comment with your charity of choice.   Go to her blog….post a comment….put Toomers for Tuscaloosa.  Also, for every comment she will donate $0.25 to a “reputable/reliable organization providing direct relief and supplies to tornado victims”

War Eagle!

Menu Planning — Thank Goodness, Back Again!!!

Menu Plan Monday

After two weeks off from Menu Planning, I couldn’t stand not having a “plan” written out (I did have a plan, but it wasn’t published).  With the 3 day weekend and holiday, I decided I really needed to plan on paper & online. 

Memorial Day has never been a holiday that we really “celebrated” except for getting a day off of  work and having the church members who have passed away in the past year names read during the Sunday service.  This year really won’t be any different, except that we have many friends, past and present, who serve our wonderful country…and I want to personally and publicly let them all know how much I appreciate their service.  It is a sacrifice for them to give their time and sometimes their lives to our lifestyle and beliefs.  As much as I appreciate their service, I appreciate the spouses and children who support them every day. 

 

Thank You!!

Now, onto the Menu Plan!
