Today was one heck of a day..last night I got all the food boxes packed for 18 families..today I got most of them delivered with the help of Hans. If I never see a can of chicken noodle soup or a can of corn it will be tooooo soon!!! Please if you donate to a can drive take anything but corn or chicken noodle soup!!!! The fun today started at 1 pm. when the school kids came over to the community center to pick out gifts for their families. They were so excited and cute. One little boy just broke my heart..I asked him if he had a tree yet and he replied no but if we get some money we may get one. In his letter to Santa he had only asked for 1 toy (a scooter) and all the rest of the list was pants, shirts, underwear, socks, pencils and crayons. He's 8, I would have like to scoop him up and take him home with me..He also saw all the food boxes and wanted to know if he could have some food, so sad. I hurried and snitched things out of some of the other boxes and made one up for he and his mother, which I will deliver out to Primm tomorrow sometime.
Tomorrow I have to get all the presents from Santa for the school kids & preschoolers wrapped and tagged. In the evening I have a CDAC meeting in Vegas from 6-9...Never enough time to do the things I need to do for myself..Wednesday I have to take a carload to Sandy Valley to the food share program and then back to Sandy that evening for middle school winter concert. I promised a couple of the Goodsprings kids that I would go and watch them perform.
We have gone from cold to mild, today was beautiful and about 50 degrees.. I sure am enjoying the new heat pump, flicking the thermostat beats the heck out of carrying wood and coal.. I need to get some fudge and pecan rolls made sometime this week, Christmas will be here before I am ready. Got to have fudge for Christi when she gets here.
We had a nice chat with Ralph yesterday, got to talking genealogy and it is interesting to hear what he is finding in Nauvoo.. I hope Phill and I will be able to get back there this summer before their mission is over. He is extending thru August I think he said.
They delivered Phill's fragmin shots today, he starts them on Wed. and will continue until about a week after his surgery..he is not looking forward to the shots...he doesn't seem to mind the idea of surgery, just keep the needles away.
Well it is still almost 3 hours until my bedtime (midnight) but I think I will turn in early tonight, of course I'll probably regret the early turn in when I wake up at about 3 am. Take care everyone...Ruthie
