Today.
Yet another snow event.it seems like no where is escaping it.
When I stopped at the Mennonite store on my way homeand was pleased at their cheese collection. I picked up over 7 pounds of cheese, different varieties, enough to last us for the winter. Foreign cheese as well. One caught my eye.
Does gz have superpowers? Seems like it sometimes. She is everywhere. She does everything.
I am kind of a mess tonight. Tomorrow is donation day for the toy giveaway. I am excited and nervous all mixed together. It seems positive, but tomorrow we will know for sure.
The snow is not making me feel better. I just want things to go well.
That’s a lot of snow! Can just imagine how cold it is. It is a very positive event, and everything will work out just fine. You’re doing a wonderful thing, mobilizing your community to come together and do so much good. I was very poor growing up, and as a child was the recipient of gifts and food for needy kids during Christmas. It warmed my heart and soul back then, knowing people cared. The children who receive these toys will be so happy, and like myself, will remember this kindness all their lives. Cali
ReplyDeleteWell now, that made me tear up, the idea that children might remember those gifts all their lives.
DeleteSending you all the best wishes! I’m sure it will be beautiful. I hope the snow calms down!! We have snow on the ground and it’s cold here. Xo, Rigmor (and the previous comment was so lovely!🥰)
ReplyDeleteSouthern Idaho is (alas!) escaping the snow. Send some this way, please.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, magic will start to happen, and Saturday the magic feeling will go home with kids and their families. As with any event, there will be a few glitches, and it will be nonetheless wonderful.
I hope everything goes well for the toy donations. Fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteI am in central Florida, and it will be in the low 40's tonight which isn't bad, but a lot of people do not have heat in their houses or warm clothes. We have a lot of homeless families living in cars, the shelters are open, warm and warm food. I am thankful for that but not everyone will make it to a shelter. Most schools have warm clothes to help kids have a coat or sweater and warm food.
ReplyDeleteDebby I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, fingers crossed the toy thing goes well and omigod I can't stop looking at all your snow--we're supposed to get 4-5" this weekend which I'm sure is a joke to you!
ReplyDeleteI was checking to see how the toy event was going. I can't wait t hear all the success. I will say some prayers to Mother Nature tonight to straighten up!
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best of luck tomorrow. I hope the big snow doesn't mess it up too much. I guess you're all used to getting around in it.
ReplyDeleteSnow is something I like to look at from inside my house these days, but not go out and have to go places in! I hope that the toy donation goes well, and WELL DONE for all your inspiration and work.
ReplyDeleteDoes that Wensleydale cheese REALLY have chocolate in it?! Bad enough having the Amaretto too - Keith used to like it with Cranberries.
SO exciting for your toy drive. With that kind of whiteout snow, you might need to hold it for a few days. Be careful! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYour first two photos are rather blurry, showing little detail. Maybe clean your lens.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for tomorrow, and nothing that you've imagined going wrong in your head, will happen.
Proper snow!!
ReplyDeleteI love Wensleydale cheese without the extras.
Good luck. It will be a great event, never fear.
ReplyDeleteI hope people manage to navigate all that snow to get to your event 🤞
ReplyDeleteSo much snow! Fingers crossed for the toy donation event - heartwarming!
ReplyDeleteI like my Wensleydale unadulterated.
When I was a child we were not poor, however we were given only one or two gifts from our parents. We got a huge stocking which I found out when I was about 16 came from a childless neighbour couple. As a Girl Guide we helped deliver gifts to needy families in the downtown area. We were shocked at the squalor and that not everybody lived like we did. I hope the poor kids do get to receive all those donated toys that you have worked so hard to collect. We are having cold weather, !8F here this morning but we got the snow a couple of days ago..it is clear now. You all have done what you can and it will be what it will be. Gigi
ReplyDeleteI hope the donations go well.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great event and the snow stays out of your way!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it DID snow in Tallahassee last year and enough for kids (and adults) to get out cookie sheets and slide down little hills. It was a joyful thing, nothing like what you're getting. We would die. Jessie and May and I were just talking about it the other day, how much fun everyone had and how long it lasted.
ReplyDeleteMay all go well with donation day!
Ummmm, that looks kinda deep. Best wishes for a successful giveaway, hope it goes well in spite of the weather,
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well and the snow doesn't bog things down. Sending best wishes! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a great success, according to your later post. How wonderful!
