Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.
Click on some of the links below and see what Blues our Bloggers share. Be sure to wish them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Something special is happening right around the corner from our house! A disabled veteran is having a house built for him and his family. There was a dedication ceremony last week, and I captured these pictures. There's a beautiful
Blue sky and a bit of
Blue in the signs. Of course, our flag contains
Blue too.
Here's a closer look at the sign.
The organization is called Homes for Our Troops.
The homes provided by Homes for Our Troops are given at NO COST to the Veterans.

A beautiful sky! I hope Sgt. Burchard and his family will love their new home :)
Happy Monday!
Here's my very first entry.
Oh how exciting, Sally!...Christine
That is wonderful about the house!
Hi, Sally... this is a wonderful post and a great story. It's because of these types of organizations that our country is so great! I will go online and learn more about Homes for Our Troops, as I have not heard about them before. Thanks for sharing!
I really hope that it can happen in my country. Many disabled veterans don't have homes here :(

It has been a while, Sally. Had to pop in with a silly post today. HBM!!
The generosity around us really melts my heart sometimes!
XO,

Happy Blue Monday Sally *hugs*
Isn't this a wonderful story. We watched some of this on TV this weekend and its just a wonderful gift to this veteran.
Wonderful skies of blue...I am sure ours will become blue and stay that way for more than a short time. Although I should not complain as we learn more about the wicked tornados again.
I hope you've had a good weekend
Judi
Sally, how absolutely wonderful for the veteran to get his own house! He deserves it!
Thanks for stopping by, my dear blogging friend. It's just lovely to hear from you and I would love to sit and have a cup of tea with you too.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hi Sally! Oh, what a great thing. Hope the man and his family will enjoy their home - it looks very lovely. Now nothing beats a beautiful blue sky!
Hope you're being a good girl! ;)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
A wonderful thing to provide homes for the troops!
Great post! Thanks for dropping by today. Yes, Mosaic is a good Bible but it will never be my favorite. I didn't really need another Bible but I won this one and I do like it. Thanks for sharing what your Pastor said about Translations. I don't visit much anymore but I think of you often.
What a great organization! Happy Blue Monday!
How wonderful!
Wonderful post! Our veterans are so deserving!
The houses for veterans is such a wonderful idea. I'm glad you shared this. It's been awhile since I've visited you so I took the opportunity to look at some of your previous blue posts.
It's good to hear from you again, Sally.
Hugs,
Charlotte
Dear Sally!
I hope you had a great Blue Monday.
I relaxed and fell down in our BLUE sofa, and forgot to leave my comment for you...But here I am!
Great story you are telling us in your blog post...
Best wishes,
AnnA
I was so late that the linky was gone.. But even Late I still shout out a hello to the blue world! Have a great day!
Patsy
This made me smile, Sally, but you always make me smile.
