ReplyDeleteWe are going to be in the 80s for the next few days, but that usually brings rain in some form.I personally love the rain, dont know how I would feel if I had to live in it Hope everyone finds a nice dry place to stay till it is over. GOD BLESS THE HOMELESS. marj in minnesota
We may have some warmer temps today, though the last couple of days have been extremely windy making it more cool. Thanks for popping in Marj, I always look forward to you comments.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great donation! I know when I lived in San Diego we would get personal hygiene things like deodorant, toothpaste, etc., the homeless really appreciated it. It was warm here for the past few days in the 70s but going back to the 60s early next week.

Sounds like your weather is a bit ahead of us, but not too different, except that we're still getting frost some nights.
DeleteI feel our warm seasons are getting shorter and our cool seasons are getting longer so donations are always needed. I love you hat, scarf, washcloths and personal hygiene items.
ReplyDeleteSadly Sherry, I think you're right...cause even though we're having some warm days, we're still having lots of wind which makes it colder, and still the frost at night. I really thought winter would never go away.
DeleteThank you everyone. I like get free samples and then I am able to pass them along.
ReplyDeleteThe samples are a really perfect way to do, no expense, plus the size is easy when they might need to move around.
DeleteThe needs change with the weather but one thing never changes...the need.
ReplyDeleteSo very true Delores, thanks for the continued support with your comments and visits.
DeleteGreat donation, Sue!! Keep up the great work! :-)
