What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order.

ReplyDeleteSomeone I knew was talking about someone they knew who was struggling financially and rent was do. so I sent off an anonymous payment to the rental place to cover rent for the month, and never said a word to anyone about it. Well, until here. LOL
ReplyDeleteA friend lost her job. I stopped by and handed her son an envelope. It had $1000 in it. But I agree, paying for meals, leaving a quarter in the Aldi cart, buying a gift card and asking the cashier to use it for someone. Even small acts can make a big difference!
ReplyDeleteIf I told you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore would it? lol.
