I spent the day scoping out our neighborhood looking for homes of people that still needed their leaves raked. I bought 5 dozen donuts and borrowed a bunch of rakes. Bought trash bags. At 7:00 p.m. in the pitch black dark and brisk weather, the youth and leaders divided up between age groups and went to 3 different homes to rake. We used the headlights of the cars to light up the yards and sent donuts with each group for a treat when they were done. An hour later 5 trucks were needed to load up all the bags of leaves and take them to the drop off site. The work went fast, was fun to work together and all went smoothly. It was a terrific spirit of service.
Mom and Marge's brother, Rick, is in the hospital and not responding. He had surgery for colon cancer two days ago. It went well and he was joking and talking with his girls afterward. However, the next morning the nurse found him not breathing. They resuscitated him but then he had a heart attack. Today my mom reported that it doesn't look good.
Someone took a lot of time to create this guy with the mere dusting of snow we had the other day. I'm not quite sure how they accomplished it. But I'm impressed.
