In anticipation of a few changes around the home place, I've found a great home for some unused items where they will be greatly appreciated. Since I am driving the recipient to her next place (kollidge), with her stuff, I get to box them up and load them to be held in the nearly-empty van and then, when we get where we are going, there are going to be people to unload all her stuff! (Must think of other things to tuck in there for her surprise enjoyment!)

Re: hankies. Tho I found a great source for inexpensive new ones, there is nothing quite like passing on one lady's hankie to another in need, so I asked the parish to donate a few good hankies. And they are coming in! Lovely things. Pretty to look at, wonderful to be able to give them away. They are pressed in my traveling prayerbook that I take to hospitals, etc., and JUST the right color/pattern/fabric always seem to be there when they are needed. They make lovely, scallop-edged bookmarks.
