Hi all! This day has flown by! And we've not gotten a lick of work done. Well... no tip work, anyway.
I'm afraid there won't be any tips tonight.
However, you should see 'parts' of my house. Box and clutter free! I'm gloating over the amount of work I got done this week, sorting through and getting rid of my sisters things. (That sounds terrible, doesn't it?

) I did ship two large boxes to her, though. I'll let them sort that out at the nursing home.


It's funny how with each box that left, I felt a little less stressed.
We're in dire need of a trip to the grocery store, so I guess we'll be heading that direction shortly. I hope you all have a great evening (even if it is tipless.

) Hopefully we'll be back in full swing starting Monday. Boy am I looking forward to taking a break from everything tomorrow!
Chooch - I just loved that tip. So many interesting aspects to it! I'm glad to hear it arrived home! I'm also glad you were able to use your cards! As for us... you know we're just fine with a check... or cash... or whatever. We won't let paypal stand in our way!
I'd sure like a nap, but guess I should go find a pair of shoes and get groceries. Oh wait! I get to buy fun things, too! We're doing the Journey Bag Initiative. It's where you fill up a back pack with things for kids that have been removed from their homes and put into foster care. Most of the time they're taken with nothing but what they're wearing.

As they're moved around in the foster system, they just throw whatever they've accumulated into a trash bag to go to the next place. A trash bag! Because of this, they're often called 'trash bag kids'. Can you imagine?? So... this is an organized effort to provide these kids with a back pack of their own, along with a stuffed animal, jammies, tooth brushes, hair care stuff, socks, etc. I love doing this kind of thing, so it'll be fun and make dragging my hiney to wally world easier.


Have to share this: just before the 'move date' for our 'newest' granddaughter, my daughter and son inlaw took her shopping and bought her a suitcase... because they didn't want her to have to put her things in a trash bag one more time. They wanted her to feel taken care of and loved. Angel was so excited, but then the 'idea' of it hit her and there she was... an eleven year old girl, sitting on the floor in the suitcase isle of Target, with tears streaming down her face. She was so overwhelmed that she would have her very own suitcase and would never be a trash bag kid again.
And on that note... off I go!
