Good Sunday to you all, hope your weekend has been a good one. Not a lot exciting about this weekend for me just been hanging around and getting some house cleaning done. I did go through some boxes that were stored away and got rid of some stuff I didn’t need to be storing. I was able to pull some old blankets and some winter clothing like a few pairs of old gloves and 2 heavier jackets that I end up going to the homeless shelter with. The blankets were more like throw blankets I think they are called. They are not really full sized but the lady at the shelter said they could use them, so she took them. Which is good cause I know I have another box with some more that I will find and get them over to her this week because she said they could always use them. She also mentioned that they could always take canned goods and nonperishable foods and blankets. So, I put up a sign in our apartment building lounge that I would be taking those things over if and one has anything they want to give and put an empty box out there and in 1 day the box is filled. It’s good to see people willing to help. This time of year, is good since it is so cold out more people are going to the shelter. Hope you all have a good week.

My daughter and I dropped off a big box of non-perishable foods (canned and boxed) at the donation drop-off a couple of weeks ago. It always feels good to help others. I just woke up to use the bathroom and will go back to sleep in a little bit. (I prefer to sleep during the daytime and am awake at night.) Nothing happening here today, either. Hope you have a good day.

it does feel good and I hate to throw anything away if it's still usable.

@Bensen32 Pretty loves trying out different foods. She buys six packs of individual items, tries one and then we put the other five in the donation box. She does the same thing with packs of canned goods if she doesn't like it, we donate the rest of them.

@DaddyEvil Thats a good way to do it, if you don't like it at least you are not just throwing the others in the garbage.

Doesn't take much effort to help our fellow (wo)man. If more of us took the little effort to help each other when we can it would be a much better world.

@grenery8 If only more of us would think about helping each other instead of thinking all about ourselves.
