That lady does it every year and I saw it on the news last year. And even though sitemeter says I'm in NY I'm really in Utah. Also, it's true; there are refugees in Utah. Like remember the one who shot up one of our malls, probably because of bad PTSD? Most of them don't shoot at us, luckily. Even if they are freezing to death here. Anyhow, if we ever run out of refugees, we have a lot of organizations that can ship the coats to someone who needs them all over the world. But, probably, if we ever ran out of refugees and money to ship the coats away, we could find enough Mormon kids who needed a good coat around here. What with 6 kids being average and all. Or if worse came to worse, I bet the polygamists down south could use a coat or two. Bring it on! There should be a law against commenting after 2 am.

Doubling it, actually, and this last week we filled the Samaritan's Purse shoeboxes...this sounds like a fantastic thing. Lots of people believe that once people "get over here" they're good to go--so far from the truth. Several local organizations are still helping Hmong refugee families who came here 2 years ago. Transitions of that magnitude are hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-14974116803589938222009-11-15T18:41:01.537-05:002009-11-15T18:41:01.537-05:00first time visitor and six kids? i'm tired bef...first time visitor and six kids? i'm tired before i even get to the comments! sheesh! my apron is off to you m'lady. <br /><br />this is a great effort for a great cause and this time of year does make us appreciate even more all that we can be thankful for.SPEAKING FROM THE CRIBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875665332513211981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-32467760576237562212009-11-15T17:57:05.520-05:002009-11-15T17:57:05.520-05:00Hey, now...the meaningless drivel is highly amusin...Hey, now...the meaningless drivel is highly amusing. And believe me, amusing IS a lotta good in the world!! You make me laugh daily, and right now, me and lots of others need that as much as some folks need winter coats!

Though I have heard stories of extreme poverty before, I can't imagine a family living all in one room.<br /><br />A Little Princess was one of my favorite books as a kid. Whenever I'd feel sorry for myself, I'd read the scenes where she was neglected, then the scene you described. Then I'd have a good cry, get out of the closet, and go do my chores.Angela Williams Dueahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570848895164313428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-28474576964425917622009-11-14T15:45:56.513-05:002009-11-14T15:45:56.513-05:00There's a lot of perspective in this post.There's a lot of perspective in this post.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.com
