What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-November 4 to November 10, 2018.

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Morning Kathy- It is morning here in the desert southwest anyways.  While I hadn't read any of them. I did enjoy reading this morning.  I really enjoyed Lise talk about all her adventures from the past and present. I enjoyed Stacie's. Sometimes it seems that the truth is forgotten in today's world.   It is wonderful you highlighted so many posts honoring veterans. Like Michael Jacobs mentioned I too appreciate all you do to bring us some great posts. Have a terrific Sunday.
