18 Degrees in Central Ohio, Thank you Phyllis for Helping the Homeless

Spotted this picture the other day on Facebook, it's not local...it's not even here in the United States.  This pictures was taken on Ha'Penny Bridge in Dublin.  But, isn't this a wonderful idea.  People hang their extra coats on the bridge for someone who is in need.  I didn't really see an article with any information beyond the caption, so am unsure how substantial homelessness is for people in Dublin.  I also don't remember there being any discussion of it when I toured Dublin a few years ago.  With the exception being a reference to "travelers" that camp.  Gypsies who park their trailers places.  Gypsies and Travelers are both nomadic peoples, but of different ethnic origins.  Travelers are Irish, while Gypsies are Romany who are said to have originated in India long long ago.

Same idea, outside a restaurant, someplace here in the US.

I'm showing you those pictures for 2 reasons:

1. I found it interesting and wonder how much things like this happen that we just don't know about.
2. I like having pictures with a post and for some reason, though I have a note with the count of Phyllis G's donation from the sunny Florida, I can find no picture on my computer.  This is about the 3rd time I've had issues when transferring pictures from my phone to the computer.  I guess in reality, only 3 pictures isn't bad......considering how many pictures I take and transfer either by emailing them to myself or by plugging in with a USB port, but.....still it's frustrating.

Phyllis was very busy and made 12 hat and scarf sets, and an additional 3 hats.  They were all very nicely made, good colors, and a variety of sizes to help warm a variety of people.  I'm so sorry I don't have a picture of generous donation to share with you all.  I've held off posting, as I kept looking in various files on the computer thinking I would find it.........argh, no joy I'm afraid.

Thank you Phyllis and please keep up the good work.  As I type this post this morning, it is only 18 degree's out there.  I'm cold here in the house, sipping my hot coffee, waiting for the furnace to warm things up.  So, Please know all of you who knit, crochet, and or loom.........are indeed helping.
