    Make this Veteran's Day With Me?

    This Veteran wants 100 birthday cards on his birthday. How about cards from around the world. Please send him a card. Have your childcare children send him one too? His birthday is June 6. Thanks.

    For his 100th birthday on June 6 -- which comes 74 years after he was miraculously pulled off a Normandy-bound boat on D-Day -- Michigan WWII veteran Isaac "Ike" Fabela has just one wish, his family said.

    Consider it done.

          Definitely. Also shared the story with my family so hopefully they'll participate or at least forward it. Love stuff like this.

            What a great idea. I'll send one and have my older dc kids make him a card, too.

              Not very many people reach 100. That's a birthday to celebrate. I've been doing housekeeping for an older lady for 16 months. She turned 94 4 days ago and is still living alone, so she might just make it too.

              I know I won't be around that long.
              Children are little angels, even when they are little devils.
              They are also our future.

                When I was sharing with the dcks what I'd like them to do, and telling them this gentleman's age, they had no concept. So I drew the number of dots that they are, then drew the number of dots this man is turning. It left an impression. We're doing the cards tomorrow.
                Today we made thank you cards for the dcf responsible for providing us with 10 bags of sand for our sandbox.
                It's nice for kids to think outside of themselves for a bit.
