Thank you Sandy for the lovely yarn you sent. I do enjoy being a part of this group. I love to see the pictures of each & every item that is donated. I live in Michigan, not Minn.
ReplyDeleteThanks SSeger, corrected your state. I'm always getting MI confused. Glad you got and like your yarn goodies.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue for your continued support for the homeless here in central Ohio.
ReplyDeleteSandy, you crack me up. That little strip was so funny! I've tried to teach my sons but they won't budge!!! lol
O.K. I am confused. Sue did you live in NJ? And have since moved to Mich? In any case I am so glad you are with us at Bridge and Beyond. You have been such a faithful donater and that speaks volumns as to where your heart is. And your faithful comments are always very appreciated. It is so nice to have people cheering us on as that always makes me want to knit that much FASTER!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting it confused, Sally. Corrected wrong thing, need to slow down. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do Sue. You are appreciated I am sure. I had someone ask me today what I plan to do with the spare time I spend here. Do people really stop donating in the summer? Not in this group I am sure. Too much work to do. See you all here as spring goes on. Thanks again Sue :+))
ReplyDeleteSandy you are in warp speed!!! Time to slow down!
ReplyDeleteMarj, it does slow down donation wise, but...I surge forward and encourage everyone to do the same, that way we'll have supplies on hand for all the shelters the moment the weather gets ugly again. I figure we still have another good month of need, we had frost again this morning and most nights are just barely above freezing.
ReplyDeleteSally...I need you to remind me, I got myself so confused the other day about something...think I sounded like a blithering idiot.
Wow what a great thing you are doing, well done to all. A lot of people talk about how terrible the homeless problem is but not many get off their bums and do anything about it. So helpful and kind hearted, really impressed and if I was in the US I would help you.
