Love in America

America The Beautiful . . . for the most part we all live in different locations…from East and West to North and South, the USA is filled with beauty . . . both in nature and hearts. We've all seen the beauty of the sunset, the majesty of a thunderstorm, the birds on branches, flowers blooming, the seasons changing, freshly fallen snow, rainbows, majestic mountains, sparkling lakes, wooded paths, ocean waves crashing, dessert blooms. We’ve taken road trips and vacations where we have taken pictures that might be so random they don’t end up on the pages of our books . . . maybe it’s the hot air balloon that suddenly appears in the sky above you, or a sign that brings a smile to your face, maybe a barn quilt painted on an old barn that has seen better days, or even an Amish buggy towing a boat. The beauty goes beyond nature and is seen in the love and kindness of a stranger that helps you after a storm, a kind teacher, the mailman who leaves biscuits for your dog, the neighborhood kids with their lemonade stands, playgrounds and smiles, the person in the grocery line who lets you go in front of them. In these times when we are dealing with so many negative things in the news, where so many only think of themselves, where our country is experiencing unrest, where truth is up to what an individual wants it to be . . . in these times, I think it would be a great thing to just focus on how beautiful our country is and some of the ways we see her.

Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

So who do you love in America? We love places, events, and people. My challenge is to included people that you love on your page. I used a photo of my husband and me. He is one of the people that I love the most. We went to the Senior Golf Tournament in Tampa, Florida together. I was there because he was there.Image
So find a photo or photos of a person or people that you love and create your page of "Love in America". I'm looking forward to see the people you love.

So Miss Kenadee may have gotten to my heart last week when we ran an errand to Kohls and she fell in love with these shoes!

Such a special layout - taking my son to my granddads old fire station for the first time. His middle name is after him ❤️ - lots of family I love in these photos and the brick in memorial of my Pap.
