Fingerless Gloves - and I Packed More Bags

We've been busy building a stash of fingerless gloves for the upcoming winter for the homeless. We like to turn in a few dozen, at least, each October. Here's a pic of the fingerless gloves from the past two weeks. Yesterday, two of us turned in 9 pairs between us.

I also spent an hour this morning packing more bags to shove into the closet for later distribution. At the moment, that poor closet is holding the following (these are 13 gal. kitchen bags)...

VA -2, Babies - 3, and Homeless - 9

I use the 13 gal. bags for transport because they are the easiest for me to handle. At one time, before I, um, "matured," I could handle huge Hefty bags but those days are gone. I handle them many times, from packing, to stashing, to later dragging them all from the back end of the house, through the house, out the pantry door, down the steps, to either my trunk or to the side of the house for Louise & Georgie to pick up.

Anyhow, we'll likely distribute to the local homeless mid-October (when it's cold already on the streets), to the babies just before Thanksgiving (before it gets really cold), and to the VA in December.

Rolling along...
