What Is Happening Today On Gather - Monday November 29,2010

I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  Are you ready for a new week and a new month! Wow this week will usher in the last month of the year.  December will be here in just a few short days.  Did any of you hit the Black Friday sales?

The community is proving to be a busy place this week already.  Grab a jacket and/or scarf and lets get on the sleigh for a quick tour of the community.  Getty up Marcus (the leading horse) and Julie.

Take a quick glance over there to see what is going on:

 

 

Angela A. has changed her icon.  She has also posted a lot of exciting posts. You really must check them out by clicking here.

 

You will always recognize Elsie Duggan by her faithful icon but her posts are always being updated with thought provoking posts.  Click here to check them out.

 

 

Ruthi C. has changed her icon again. I did not recognize her at first glance. She is always reading a new book and keeping her posts exciting.  You can check out all her posts here.

 

elizabeth e. is just freezing me to death as I view her in the water. The temperatures here are freezing.  I just want to rush out and bring her into the heat of the stove. However her posts will always take the reader away from their own weather to a new and exciting place. Check them out here.

 

 

JOHN BECK is one of those Gather members who is always sharing something new. You just never know what his icon will be though.  Check out his posts here.

 

 

Wilhelmine Estabrook's posts will always take you to a new and exciting place.  We all need to leave our own space for just a bit each day. Check out her posts for that quick change of scenery.

 

Brian .. has the coolest status on his profile page. It reads "Brian is resting with one eye open to keep an eye on things."  Sorta makes you wonder what he has been up to that makes him want to stay a bit alert.  Check out his posts to see what he has been up to.

 

Marsha F. has added some new photos to her family album. I just love her icon. It brings back memories of the good ole' days. Check out her photos and posts here.

 

 

Heather, (hoping my words help others) C.'s status line says it all "Heather, (hoping my words help others) Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home."  Check out her latest posts and photos here.

 

 

Sandra H. is decorating for Christmas. She is always posting something exciting that is happening in her corner of the world. You can view all her posts and photos here.

This is the kind of community that has a compassionate,  giving,  and helping others mentality. It is for this reason that Gather is giving you, the community a chance to help your fellow gather members. You and help in several different ways. You can nominate someone who is having a hard time. You can give just a few of your points to be added to other donations to help those who have been nominated.  You can do both, nominate and donate.  Do whatever you feel comfortable doing.
