When my granddaughter was raising her second puppy to be a guide dog she needed a cage for him and 3 people responded . By the way he became a narcotic – sniffing dog instead. Her first puppy went on to be a guide dog for a woman athlete and traveled the world and was also guest on the ABC Morning Show.
“Thanks to the folks running for election who gave us a quick bio of themselves here on This is what it means to be part of a village.
Last summer, one very hot day, I was riding my horse down Dugway Road trying to stay in the shady spots. We came across a lovely young girl and her mother picking berries in their yard. The child was, of course, excited about picking fresh berries and having a horse come up to say hello. She offered me some of the refreshing berries they just slaved after amongst the thorns. That kind gesture stayed with me a long while.
This year, during a nasty, icy, rainy day, I promised to drop off some no-longer-used ski equipment to an FPF woman who posted a need. As I pulled into the driveway on Dugway Road, I realized this was the very house that shared their berries with me, and while I was trudging through the icy, slushy driveway that memory came back to me and warmed me up all over again. I’m still smiling from that and so happy I was able to return the kindness.
You never know what small gesture will start a butterfly effect and spread throughout the neighborhood-town-country-world. Thanks to FPF for doing it ONCE AGAIN!

If you feel the same, I invite you to a Pot Luck Night… visit and get to know neighbors on our road. I would like to have some help planning. If you think this is a good idea and want to help, send me a note or call.”

“Thanks to the two utility workers (Vermont Gas?) and the Green Mount Transportation bus driver who stopped and helped a man with his electric wheelchair when it was stuck on the train tracks Wednesday, at lunch time. Your thoughtfulness and help getting him unstuck and back in the chair was heart warming and wonderful. I would like to encourage everyone to pass on just one act of kindness to bring a spark to your day… These gentlemen went out of their way to make a difference; it did not go unnoticed! Thank you again!”
“Does Front Porch Forum have any potential as a ‘hobby network’ resource? Something to help folks to connect with neighbors who have common hobby interests?”
