My Co-Hostess, Lindsay, and I would like to welcome you to year # 2 of the Perfect Post Awards - “the power to the blogger awards” because you make it all happen.
In February of 2006, we popped the champagne and rolled out the red carpet for you to pat one another on the backside. Here we are today still lavishing in the good feeling of such a supportive community. Our mission statement has been simple and we like it that way. The Perfect Post Awards are a chance to read some of the best stuff written each month- and to spread a little warm fuzziness, too. If you’d like to present an award next month, e-mail me and I’ll send you the latest award button code a few days before the 1st. If you’re interested in looking through our past award posts, they can be found here. Thanks to each and every one of you for making the Perfect Post Awards such a great success!!
Jen Lemen for Ice Cream Dreams Do Come True
As a child, the bell of our neighborhood ice cream truck lit me up like hearing the sound of Santa’s reindeer on the roof. I could empty my polka dotted piggy bank and fly down the street in record time. Even now when I happen to hear that sound, I am like Pavlov’s dog and jump out of my chair with a smile on my face - ready to run like the wind.
In Jen’s post, she tells the story of how she helped give out free ice cream to over 50 kids. How WOW is that? Jen says, “Yesterday we had our wouldn’t-it-be-awesome-if-there-was-free-ice-cream day. I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you so much to those of you who kicked in. We collected $155 and served free ice cream out of the ice cream truck to at least 65 kids in about forty minutes. The kids really could not wrap their minds around the idea that people they had never met had pitched in to give them a treat. In the end, we decided to tell them it was from the Universe which seemed to go over just fine.”
You have to go over and check out the smiles she created with her wonderful idea of giving kids free ice cream from The Universe. Way to go, Jen!
