The picture has nothing to do with Bridge and Beyond, but since it's Thursday, I decided to that because I sadly don't have a picture to share of a generous donation from our friend and long time supporter Sue S. I've been having "issues" adjusting to my new computer, transferring pictures and not being able to find them afterwards. This windows 10 is very different it seems to me from my old Vista (what was that 3 or 4 operating systems ago).
Sue donated 2 scarves, 6 cotton washcloths, some always needed personal care items including those chemical hand warmers, a hat and a handband. I wish I could show you.
Thank you Sue and please keep up the good work. Folks as I write this blog post it's 25 degrees, that's the warmest it's been in about a week. Yesterday morning when I got up, it was 3 and really warmed up to 8, by the time I had to leave the house. Please keep our homeless in your thoughts and prayers and do what you can with you knitting needles and crochet hooks.
I'm going to try something a little different with keeping our stats. I'm listing our end numbers from 2015 and will subtract our current number as means of keeping our goal in front of us. I'll show the goal number in Red. Let's strive not match last years numbers, but.........work towards even more. Thank you for all you do. As time goes on, we won't see the year end numbers, we'll see the previous goal and subtract the new donation from it. Hopefully we'll find this helpful and not too cumbersome...if so, we'll return to our previous format.

Even if you don't have my donation picture, I am glad to help out the homeless. Just finished a scarf last night. Now to make some more items to send to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for understanding. You're now the 3rd person I've heard say the same thing about windows 10. Makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one with the learning curve.
DeleteI like old picture but I hate Windows 10 because it took months before all the kinks were worked out. I had to ask my ex to help with it since he knows computers and I have no clue. Glad the numbers are coming down and only 2 weeks into the new year
ReplyDeleteThanks Birgit, appreciate you're chiming in. Why can't they just leave the windows alone and stop all the changes.
