Good News!

Good Afternoon!

It has turned into a beautiful warm sunny day;(about 68 degrees Fahrenheit)! We dropped off the books, several catalogued tapes, some womens' clothing, a few tids of jewellry, and excess kitchen utensil / dishes to the Union Gospel Mission.

Alan 'found' tons of tapes in our complex' garbage bin and the strong sentiment, 'Waste Not, Want Not' jumped out at him. The tapes were 'discarded' by a neighbour, whose husband passed away recently. Apparently, his passion was to catalogue all the shows, the theatre events, as well as taping all sorts of musicals and songs. He had a special 'sound / music' room set up for his enjoyment.

There are NO bittidz coincidences here; because the UGM had recently acquired two tape players; but had no tapes to go with them! So, this was tidbitz perfect! We will be going back next weekend with some more items. ie Mens' clothing is in much demand. Alan has a few bins of clothing that he has yet to unpack (sweaters etc); so he will choose what he can still wear; and give the rest away. Since we moved here, some three years ago, we have yet to unpack / unearth all the many boxes etc in our garage / basement. We will make a good dent in eliminating excess and creating more space!

Also, we just learned that our friend has shown 'life signs' re: brain activity. He is still on the life support system; and will come off it, when it is felt, he is stronger and better equipped to breath on his own. Thank God! Literally! We think our good friend will heed this 'wake up call'.

Will keep you posted on any bits of news. For us, each and every day is like a mini Thanksgiving!

Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

God Bless.
