Happy President's Day!

[Gator Pam]

I have a friend who is planning to move across the country at the end of next month. She has a lot of canned goods she’s not planning on taking with her. I saw a photo the other day the free pantry at one of the churches  in Kirkland showing it could use some donations.

 

I also went through some of my shelved food stuffs I wasn’t using, packed them up and picked up some goods from my friend. I then made my first donation at the pantry. Here’s hoping I did it right.

 

I’ll probably make a stop once a week until my friend’s back stock is diminished.

 

The outside of the pantry at Holy Spirit.

What I found when I first opened it.

 

And a few non food items on the bottom.

 

After I added the items I brought. I hope some of these items will fill needy bellies.

 

A lot of these foods need a can opener. Not that I can afford it, but if I could find a deal on bulk inexpensive manual can openers, like at least 100 but no more than $20 for them, I might order some to donate along with the canned goods.

I’m so sick of winter. The cold and snow. Where was it at Christmas?

In the Low 30's here today again and there were flurries when we went to get our daughter from staying at a friends last night (they are off school this week). Week or so ago we hit 80 one day, needless to say we have ALL been sick.

We were thrilled to hit 20* here today...

Al Gore promised me beachfront property and endless summers.  He said my kids would not remember snow.  Next time I see him, I'm going to punch him in the throat!  My kids, btw, were remembering snow pretty well removing ten inches of the heavy, wet variety from my 220' driveway.

 

Seriously, though, I love the seasons.  My yard is beautiful and my F150 is earning it's keep.  Spring will be here soon enough.  Then everyone will complain about bugs (except me...I solved my bug problem decades ago -- don't tell Al).
