A while back you may remember our friend Marjorie M from Minnesota's connection to The Girl Scouts. They've done it again. The girls crocheted cotton wash cloths and slippers. Marjorie helped them out by mailing their thoughtful donation and she added personal care items and socks. For some silly reason, I took 2 pictures of the same thing...the slippers and socks and none of the personal care items and cotton washcloths. Had a dumb attack apparently when I was photographing. As you know, posts are written and placed in que and so the items have already been delivered by the time you'll read this post. I'm working several weeks ahead on posts, so didn't realize in time to take another photograph. Sorry girls. I can tell you there were lots of different colors and I was thrilled to see so many of them were manly colors.
Thank you Girl Scouts, and Marjorie.
