I NEED A SAY SOMETHING HAT DAY

 
I swear, Saturday is going to be a say something hat day for sure!!! I will have to apologize for being a bit absent this week, and I'm behind on visiting with everybody, but it has been a busy week for sure!!! And my heels are just killing me!!!! Between my regular work schedule, I have been busy at work with a charity I and a co worker over see. There is a local day care center for less fortunate families who can't afford regular daycare, and this place has services for children for a minuscule fee, and the school only gets some state money. We do various things for them through out the year, but I had gotten the idea for Thanksgiving to do a food bank. So this week, my co -worker and I have been busy getting together a food bag for 60 families for their dinner. It includes  fresh veggies, a bag of stuffing, jar of gravy, cranberry sauce, instant mashed potatoes and a few other things. We got a huge turn out at the store, and our VP of Operations heard, and even donated 60 turkeys!!!!!!!!!! It was a great success and we will deliver the bags to the school next Tuesday. So nice to know the parents will feel better about having a dinner for their children.....no kids should go hungry!!!
 
 
I have also been over to the local ASPCA. No, not to get Buster a sibling, but I have been thinking for some time of volunteering there to lend a helping hand with the cute dogs and cats there. Animals have always been a passion, and in addition to donations I make, I thought why not see if they need help with walking the dogs, feedings, or other things they may need help with. They will be getting back to me.
 
In addition to all that, I also visited with four ladies on doing their Christmas decorating for them. All of them have different needs and levels of decorating they want done, but I tell you, It pays well!!!!!! I have always done interior design freelance, so this will be another extension of that. I may have to invest in Blue Coat Gin!!!!! Then last night, my services were requested to paint a face and style a wig for a drag show for a good friend, which was a huge success!!!!
 
So with everything getting back to normal, I will be getting  back to normal round here, and be visiting soon, right after.......
 
 
While I soak, Miss Moorecock will take your calls. Tootles!

  2. You are a good egg :-)
    The school I tutor at is 97% free and reduced lunch - a high poverty school. They are starting to set up mini-food banks in these schools. My book bag is going to get heavier I know...
