P.S. You certainly don't look like you could be a Grandma - or a Great Grandma for that matter!

I've lived in Phoenix for about 30 years and I've never eaten a date off the tree! Now oranges and grapefruit are another story. I befriended you because I saw that you had commented on a group that posts a quote of the week. I wanted to…
Patty Gannon commented on bizzarrochic's blog post '29 gifts in 29 days Book ~ the Gift that keeps on giving.'
I did the same thing with a coworker - I guess I should have put my name in it and told her to do the same when she passes it along. I think I'm going to buy more books as gifts anyway, so maybe I will do that on the next one and create more…
Ten, Eleven and Twelve
More of the 29 gifts - Day Ten: I went the whole day and didn't really have the chance to do much for anyone, so at the end of the day, I texted to my cell phone and gave a donation to Haiti. Not much effort or money, but I hope that collectively - it makes a difference.Day Eleven: I went to my book club meeting and delivered a Cat Stevens mix (all my favorite songs of his) that I had made for my friend, Liz. It had been sitting on my desk for awhile, so it was great that I could finally give…See More

Patty Gannon commented on Patty Gannon's blog post 'Days Six - Nine'
You know I would have done most of this anyway, but it is nice to actually focus on the contribution I can make in even small (and fun) ways to my family and my community. It makes me feel better, particularly if I start to feel lonely or sorry for…
Days Six - Nine
Here is copy from my blogpost on the 29-Day Challenge:Day Six: My daughter Lauren recently moved back to town and in with me after her graduation from ASU (yay - we finally got her diploma in the mail two days ago!). I took her with me to a fun raggae dance class called booty quake :) It was an awesome workout and we had a great time. Who knew giving could be so much fun! Day Seven: Lauren was again the recepient of one of my gifts (I'm going to do more for other people - I swear). We went to a…See More

Days Four - Five
I am continuing to read the book and continuing with the gift-giving project. On day four I had lunch with my friend Tessa. Here husband recently had knee surgery and I think she was ready for a bit of a break. I picked up the lunch tab as my gift of the day. Tessa is the type of person who does so much for her family and friends, that it was nice being able to do something for her.On day five, I packaged up a gift for my friend Debbie's daughter, Missy. She just graduated with a degree in…See More

Days One - Three
Thee days ago, I decided to do the 29-Day Giving Challenge outlined in the book . I read about Cami's story on the Web and that same day, when I went to yoga, my instructor was talking about what a great "gift" we give ourselves when we practice yoga. His whole talk was centered around giving and gifts, so I took it as a sign that I should try the 29-day challenge.So here goes - Day One - I bought my friend Kelley a tea and salad after yoga - which she was resistant to at first, but then I told…See More
