Proud of our BLUE men and women

It has been on my heart to show our appreciation to our police officers. There has been some negative media coverage which has not portrayed them in the most positive light, and sadly, it has created a few movements which attack the cops.

This is unacceptable. So, I shared my feelings at my book group, and each contributed to a little basket.

Tatum and I took it over to the Scottsdale police headquarters today, and boy, were we surprised.

First, this was no ordinary police station. It was a museum! We were greeted by this lovely statue of a police officer and little girl looking up to him with honor.

So, we went inside to give the basket of goodies; they were so grateful.

After giving the gift, we poked around the museum.

Tatum learned CPR

We also checked out the uniforms.
