Just this afternoon, Denny and I were picking up a few salads for a late lunch when a customer walked into the little deli. A short time later, the man approached an elderly man wearing a WWII ball cap. The man mentioned that he liked the older man’s hat. After a few words were exchanged, the younger man mentioned that his father had also served in the war and that only in the past 6-7 years, had he began to open up about the experience. The younger man then took a minute and Thanked the older man for his service. Wow, that was really impressive. In fact, I have chills and tears as I type this. As I overheard the conversation, I noticed that all eyes were now on the two men. My eyes welled up in tears, gratitude, patriotism and respect for both the aged solider and the man who expressed his appreciation, four times, as he spoke to the older gentlemen and then exited the deli. Thank-you all and thank-you to the man who expressed his gratitude and to all that do! God Bless you all!

I had the opportunity to review the T-Shirt Printing dot net Monkey Mascot T-shirt. I am an all american Jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. I love to get dressed up but at heart, I am always a Jeans and T-Shirt girl! Throw in pearl necklace and a pair of boots and I am ready to go!
When I learned of the opportunity to review a t-Shirt from T-Shirt Printing dot net, I jumped on the chance! I love a good T-Shirt. Well, I chose the size Tee that would fit my plus size gal body. I chose the color grey. I love The Heather shades of color!
I received my shirt in the mail in a timely and faster than I expected manner! My shirt arrived in a nice packaged bag. The shirt was folded nicely and in great condition when I received it. I wore it the very next day. I had to take a drive nearly an hour away to run an important errand. The great part of my trip, is that I would have the opportunity to wear my shirt around many people. Upon the completion of my errands, we went to the downtown of Ann Arbor not far from the University of Michigan! We walked around to several shops including a great lunch spot and the sweetest spot in Downtown Ann Arbor, the Cupcake Station. Upon our journey, the cashier at the gas station told me that she “liked my shirt!”. I thought that was great being that I was reviewing the Tee at the time! While we were in the Cupcakes Station, we were picking up a special treat to take home to surprise the family later that evening. The young lady at the cupcake shop, mentioned that she also, “really liked my shirt!” , My fiance’ looked at me and smiled with a head nod! It seems that while we were walking along the streets in the college town, several heads turned to look at my Monkey shirt. In fact, the cupcake girl, Said” I love the monkey on your shirt!”. As far as visual appeal, I believe that this shirt earned an A+!
Now, for the wear of the shirt. I loved the color. The shirt was a nice comfortable material. I was impressed with the quality of the shirt. The tee was a nice quality material. I liked the length and the fit of the shirt. Now, I tend to be one of those people who drop things. My lovely stir fry dinner graced my shirt. I was not happy at all about this. I went ahead and washed and dried the shirt the next morning. To mY surprise and delight, the shirt washed clean. I was relieved! Thankgoodness that the shirt was not ruined. I have to say, many shirts have failed to make it out of the dryer clean. Yay. The T-Shirt Printing dot net Monkey Mascot T-Shirt has won my approval and that of several college students. Even my preschooler loved “mommies monkey Shirt!”
I think that the T-Shirt Printing dot net mascot monkey shirt is a nice shirt. I would definitely recommend purchasing from this company.
