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!
You have been sooooo busy, and thoughtful, and caring.... honey, take all the time you need. You deserve a break.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good egg :-)
ReplyDeleteThe 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...
This school sounds the same. These kids only know their life thus far. What really is amazing is how happy they are...considering. Tugs your strings.
DeleteI just knew you had another big organ!!!!
ReplyDeleteI suppose you want lessons now?
DeleteMistress you certainly have been busy, and what thoughtfulness at this time. You are going to be a lady who lunches!!!!!

DeleteIts very important too stay hydrated I say.
DeleteYou need to come back out here. I need help with artwork and other stuff.

DeleteNo wonder you have a social director!!!!!! But you look so swank otherwise on the streets.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been busy!!!! But in a commendable way!!!! I would love to work at the ASPCA, but would worry about bringing home all the cute pooches!!!!
ReplyDeleteWord still out. I have worried about that myself. I may end up at a dachshund rescue. That will spell trouble.
Delete'Tis the season! Especially for us gals in retail. I'll be able to breath after Black Friday. Have FABULOUS weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your much more busy than I. I was thinking of you the other day, and though he must be in the thick of things now. Gods luck my friend!!!!
DeleteBut you seem to do it all with such finesse!
ReplyDeleteThat's our mistress, always doing some charity work. In and out of the boudoir. What a nice meal the kids will have.
ReplyDeleteAllot to work with when it comes to charity I hear. Enough to feed the needy!
