This past week we witnessed the best
….and the worst that is America.
In the aftermath we as a people did what we do best , honored those who lost their lives...
... celebrated those that captured the remaining suspect
and reminded ourselves how lucky we are to be Americans…
Today let's honor all that makes us great. Let’s celebrate with a giveaway of Nathan Turner’s American Style
All you have to do to be entered is leave a comment about what being American means to you, and become a follower. Giveaway will close on April 30th.

Aren't we all!!! Agreed!!
DeleteWhat an appropriate (and generous) giveaway for this time. I think we saw a lot of American Style over the past week. Being an American of course means we have the blessing to live freely. But Americans also filled with kindness, compassion and generosity. When we see others in need of help, we offer a helping hand and see that wrongs are made right. That's American Style.
ReplyDeleteOn days like these, although trying, seeing others help those in need always gives me a sense of American pride. That's what America means to me: when given the option to run and hide, Americans choose to run into the trouble to help. America is all about helping others and we are by far the most generous nation. Whether it's our brave Military, First Responders, or the person standing next to you, as Americans we want to help. This is what brings us to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - all of which never goes out of style.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, Cindy! My wonderful Aunt Deb referred me to your blog as I'm just starting out and learning to decorate.
Welcome! Does your aunt deb happen to be my friend and neighbor?!!

Un très bel hommage!
ReplyDeleteThank you Agnes!
DeleteJust to say that in Europe we are aware about all, that we're thinking of Boston and that we're praying for Peace! For peace in the world. For leaving together in peace, whatever nationality or religion, that's the only way to fight any kind of terror.
ReplyDeleteLet's keep up hope.
As Americans, we are very fortunate to live in the land of opportunity.

ReplyDeleteWonderful post and a lovely giveaway. Boston makes me appreciate the American get-it-done attitude. I used to think we were all generally the same, but when I saw the episode of Downton Abbey - the one with Shirley McClain as the American relative - I realized what a difference there truly is in our attitudes.
