Tis the Season
Tis the Season - to give and to share- to volunteer and to be kind
Again this year I volunteered for shopping day at Toys for Tots the local Marines do an incredible job from the toy collecting and set up right down to the distribution and getting volunteers to shop .
If you have never volunteered here are some facts - over 1300 children are in need this year-that is a huge number !
The program teams them up with a volunteer to help shop for kiddo's and we have a ball trying to find just the right things! Some kids get a bike or a giant playhouse, balls and dolls are always plentiful as well as some great stuffed animals, games and of course coloring books.
I love the smiles on the Mom's and Grandma's faces, the Dads and all the parents shopping. The need is real and this allows so many to have a great Christmas. A little holiday spirit without snow or cold - and a little holiday music made for a great day!
Blessings to all who helped make this a success.

Still Thankful
After the guests leave and the food is put away the house is quiet and then …..thoughts of a turkey sandwich with cranberry and cream cheese- you go with great anticipation but........ the refrigerator is warm and the ice is melting in the freezer! all the wonderful leftovers are just a distant dream.....of all the times to make an exit this refrigerator was only 2.5 years old and has given up.
Being of good cheer we shopped and googled and rated new models of refrigerators and found one that still matches our other appliances. We are blessed to have a refrigerator in our lower level and did not lose everything in the freezer. Thankfully it was only a week and a few extra trips up and down the steps were good exercise. We are blessed.
Shout out to the young men who deliver these giant appliances daily with such ease. Our new model is in and we call her Paris…as in you could fly to Paris for what they cost these days.
Lesson learned, do your homework before purchasing a major appliance and be sure it has a good warranty. That is yet to be resolved on the old unit.
