:hi:

My faith in humanity just went up a whole lot of notches.

A couple of weeks ago I received an email that had been doing the rounds. Our local assisted-living facility for quadraplegics was three months away from having to close down due to lack of funds. They planned a fund-raising fete for today and asked the community for help.
My daughter and I baked cakes and cupcakes (15 dozen between us), bagged all the beadwork that's been laying around our houses and helped them set up a cake stall and a costume jewelery stall. By 7:15 this morning, people began arriving with more cakes, plants and flowers for the garden stall, clothing, bric-a-brac, books, food, toys and heaven knows what else. By the truckload!!

At 8:00am the gates opened and literally hundreds of people arrived. For five hours it was like a buying frenzy. Most stalls sold out completely! I watched the faces of the facility's residents go from worry to joy and relief. I can't tell you how good that felt. I don't know how much money they made but I have no doubt that they won't have to close any time soon.

And the predicted rain didn't fall.

Gail,
in a happy bubble.:)

:) Susie.

I never thought the day would come when I'd say this: I'm caked out!

Don't want to even think about cake right now...but if there's any pie going... pre-licked, of course. :D

the giant stack of corn tortillas I just bought on Thursday.... expires today.

I see a lot of tortilla eating in my future.

Right! Why can't they make those in smaller packs for single people?? They always come in a billion. I buy them for one night of tacos or burritos and then there's still a billion minus 2 left. I end up throwing 'em away because they expire before I can eat 'em all.

Great news Gail!! So glad things turned out that way, sounds like you have a great community there. Many kudos for you and your daughter for helping to make it that way. :snoopy:

Good day funners.

Very cool, Gail. It's an awesome feeling to be a part of something bigger than our own petty problems, isn't it.

*respects Gail bunches more now.* :)
