  1. I finally took so many clothes to the nursing home that they told me not to bring anymore as all
    residents currently had everything they needed. I found a food pantry that sorts and hangs clothes
    to give to people when they come to pick up their food baskets and they do not charge. I was pleased
    that I could give so much to the home and further pleased that I had the energy to find a new place
    that met my requirements the same day. Also the next week I finished the emptying of my closet and
    got rid of all of the bagged items. DH went through his so he is all sorted as well, Lee

  2. That's a great feeling isn't it, Lee? Very cool for both of you!

  6. Great job. We have bins in town to donate clothes. I always take mine there. In fact I am due to
    take a couple of bags of kids clothes that I found in the basement the other day. I had forgotten
    they were there. Also, many places are looking for winter coats for the homeless.

    enough to go on that jobhunting trip, Lee
