APRIL UPDATE: PHEW!

This is going to be a pretty short update.  April consisted of mostly collections, which have understandable slowed a bit.  It takes a while to get a rhythm going. 

Our total collection from April is 72 pair collected!  ~~~Happy Dance! 

We are keeping Ruth busy, and that makes my heart glad! 

VERY grateful acknowledgement to our DROP BOX SPONSORS:  Rooster's Restaurant (Pendleton)  Archie's Restaurant (Pilot Rock) and Baxter Auto Parts (Pendleton)  You are SO appreciated! 

Deep and sincere appreciation to all my "helpers"  We are a big happy family!  Thanks to HollyJo for helping with the dropbox pickup, and Neva for standing in while I was incapacitated.  It is so good to have friends and family involved!  

Thanks to donors who have filled our dropboxes.  Please know that we love your <3 for helping our cause!   

On a lighter note, I did take time with family and friends to attend the 41st annual Wenaha Muzzleloader Rendezvous.  I love quilting (which is how I met the fabulous maker of our Veterans Denim Quilts)  On the way home from Rendezvous I found... in the far reaches of NE Oregon... almost to Washington... In tiny Flora Oregon, on the the east side of town.... A barn... on the barn????  A QUILT BLOCK!  Sunshine, family, friends and a perfect picture!  GOD BLESS ALL!
