Yesterday I attended a party and we all had to bring a gift under $10. One of the church members said she was planning to move and wanted to donate some items that she no longer needed. She put a basket in the middle of the room and said take whatever you feel you would like. After our meal, I walked over to the basket. Everything was so neatly packaged. I saw a wooden bird house with a paint set and immediately thought about my elderly friend in a nursing home that loves bird houses and had many in her home before her memory began to fail greatly causing her to be moved to an assisted living facility. I took that. Another member was looking through the basket with me and I told her about my elderly friend. She said, I really don't need anything else in my house because I'm trying to declutter what I have accumulated, so I want to give you my gift from the basket. It was another bird house! Now I can paint one with my friend in the nursing home. The extra things I can bring to the nursing home and add to their tree. The handmade Christmas bag can be refitted. The goal is to give my new items a home or find a home for them. I didn't have ti spend a dime and the generosity of others is the best gift you can receive!

I received my second dose of the Covid vaccine!!! In approximately two weeks, I will be fully vaccinated!! I definitely encourage everyone to get the vaccine! Unless enough people get vaccinated, we will never get even close to normal again! In the wise words of Dr. Seuss, "unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

To any of you who are wondering why getting their driveway snow plowed is getting more and more expensive, well look at gas prices! Some of you oblivious people voted yourselves into a higher cost of living and should not be allowed to complain of the consequences. As for me, bring on the big snow drifts because I actually love it!
