Food Bank

Spent yesterday morning working at our local food bank.  It was a wonderful time of camaraderie and service to my community.  I love working there.  I'm in charge of the canned goods.  Not too many yesterday.  They mostly had junk food (chips, etc), crackers, cereal, baked goods and bread.  My next door neighbor and her little daughter helped also.  We all have a good time setting up and helping people select food.  I sort and set up the can goods table and then remind people of things they can make with whatever I have in order to get them to take the stuff.  Yesterday I had about 15 boxes of green beans to get rid of.  I reminded people that it was green bean cassarole season and they could save a couple of bucks by grabbing some cans from my table.  I only had green beans and sweet corn.  Got rid of all the sweet corn and had 4 boxes of green beans left.

That is one of the activities in my month I enjoy besides book club and Friends of the Library.  Oh! I completely forgot bible study on monday nights.  OK, I'm up to 8 things to do in a 30 day month!  Looking for more reasons to get out of the house without spending any money.  Any Ideas?

Today I'm grateful for:

1.  Reasons to get out of the house.
2.  My state of health, even though it could use some improving
3.  That I still live in a relatively free country
4.  My husband
5.  Cheesecake (that and dark chocolate make life worth living)  (OK, Jesus too!)

Later...
