The Brag Basket is open! This one is for February 14-16, 2014. It’s Valentine’s Day, so share the love.

What can you do in the Brag Basket?

  • introduce yourself
  • share some great news from this week
  • congratulate a friend
  • applaud for each other
  • confess your undying love for rural places

How do you join in?

  • Below this post is the comment section. Add your brag there.
  • If you are reading this by email, just reply to the email with your brag. I’ll add it to the comments.

Don’t like to brag? Just share some good news for yourself or a friend.

Do you have to be from a small town? Well, no, not really. Just don’t make it an ad. I delete the ads that people stick in here. If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.

It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

    I do have an undying love for rural places, there I said it. And one that is very special to me is Wagoner, Oklahoma. If you find yourself there, and you’re hungry, a cheeseburger from Son’s will treat you right.

      Stephanie, I’m going to have to check out Son’s! I’ll go a long way for a good cheeseburger.

        Eat chocolate. I hear valentine’s Day gives you a free pass on calories

    I got an e-mail from Jon Swanson this week “just to say hi.” And that was all it said. And that was enough!

      Steve, isn’t it amazing how powerful a few words can be?

Howdy!
