Archive for July 2008


It’s my birthday month and a friend of a friend of mine had a great idea and I hope you will participate. RCM had the idea of contributing to a charity in some way during your birthday month and asking others to do the same. So, here is your challenge. During the month of July I would like for you to pick up a couple of extra food items each time you go to the store and put them in the donation barrel at the grocery store, at your place of worship or wherever you can find a place that will take food donations. E-mail me, call me, or leave me a response on this post every time you donate and tell me how many cans, packages, bags of whatever you donated and I will keep the tally. Let’s see how much we can collect during the month of July. Do it for all of the people who are struggling now and are having to decide between gas and food and if nothing else do it because it’s my birthday month and I am asking you to. I will be contributing,too!! Thanks in advance!!!!

I feel so sorry for our new neighbors. They just moved here-from China! They are Americans, but he works for Hallmark and they sent him and his family over there for a few years and now they’re back. This is why I feel sorry for them…the moving trucks arrived today and when they opened up the trucks, they were full of these huge crates. Ugh!!! Can you imagine? Moving is awful as it is, but having to pack everything into huge crates and send it overseas just seems like a task I would not want to even consider. Moving the few miles that we did in October was enough for me.
