People, Good People Do Care

Spotted this awhile back on Facebook.  I didn't see a story with it to know when or where this sign was posted, but..........it made me smile.  Wouldn't it be nice if we saw lots of signs like this outside of business...restaurants specifically.

Do you know an owner or manager of a fast food restaurant or any restaurant that you could share this with?  If so, please please do.

Knitted Cotton Wash Cloths Donated

Thank you Peggy B for this thoughtful donation of knitted cotton washcloths.  Folks if you click the picture you can enlarge to see the nice details of this mitered knitted squares.  I think that's what they're called.  I like the diagonal design you get, and love that we have some darker colors the men will be more comfortable using.  Cotton Washcloths are used by every group we help, whether living in the elements on the shelters these are used as washcloths and dishcloths.

Many thanks and please keep up the good work Peggy, we appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Do You Have a Plan, and a T-Shirt?

LOL....a little chuckle for you alol.  It's been awhile since there's been a new post, I've been out of town and was only able to schedule so many posts ahead.  Many thanks to all who continued to visit and leave comments: Marjorie, Betty, Birgit, SSeger, Lisa, Claire, and Tamara; as well as to those who visited who didn't leave comments.  I truly appreciate your daily visits to the blog to see what's going on, who's donated and to support each other with positive comments.  I do wish I could urge more of you to not be shy and leave comments when you pop in for a visit.

I got into town in the wee hours this am, 1:30 ish and still have much catching up to do with regard to emails, comments on blogs, blog visits, opening and photographing donations and writing new blogs posts.........please bare with me.  In the meantime, thank you to:Pauline B, Sandra R, and Susan H for your donations........they await my processing which will happen in the next several days.

Please stay tuned!

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
