This week I asked my manager at my senior complex if I could hand out a flier about asking my neighbors for coats and jackets and some clothes too. What a great bunch, with their help these items are still coming in. The seniors are clearing their closets. We have 2 more large bags of coats, jackets and mainly women's wear mainly, my complex has more women than men. I’m so grateful to my manager who even printed the paper up, and to the outpouring of generous donations from the residents.

Blessed a nurse at Kaiser with a small garden bouquet!

My friends had to put down their family dog this week, which was very emotional. I invited them over for dinner in the garden, for a little breathing space, and when they hopped out of the car, one of our ranch dogs came up to the fence to greet them. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say, but that dog in his own way soothed something in them. I was glad we could be together in the joy and grief.
