FB Adventures...

We volunteered at the Food Bank tonight. We have been going quite a bit over the last few months, helping Ethan to get his Duty to God Award. We are going to keep going once a month. We enjoy being able to spend the evening together doing something good. Most of the time we go "shopping". That means we fill the hampers with the appropriate items for a balanced diet for a week. Tonight I added tuna and pasta sauce. Ethan did toilet paper and crackers. Kipp did cereal. Sometimes we are runners, or we check best before dates. The crates run down a conveyor belt, and each person adds their item. A few weeks ago I did drinks. It was so stressful! It took me awhile after the shift to start breathing normal again. One week we sorted food that was also a little scary...It all made me feel a little like Lucy. I found the clip to share. You may have seen this before. I remember seeing it as a little girl.
Enjoy!

Global Warming?!

BRING IT ON!
It is November 16th. No snow in sight. I have just been outside in a sweater. It is wonderful!
I am absolutely LOVING this weather.
No complaints from me.
