This morning we all piled in the car and went to help make blankets for some orphans in China. A 13-yr-old girl from church is making them for a project to earn a badge for Girl Scouts. She solicited donations from area businesses and others for this project and she wound up with enough fleece fabric for 28 tie-blankets. Pretty cool! Anyway, that's a lot of blankets for one girl to make, so she enlisted the help of some folks from church. We thought it was a pretty neat opportunity for our kids to learn to help others - and especially orphans. Great way to celebrate National Adoption Day (today), and Adoption Awareness Month. The kids wondered if we were going to drive to China after we were done. Um, no....
Mom Fisher looked at the girls' dresses today. She took them home to fix them. !. At least I tried, right?! I'll post pics when I get the dresses back. (No close-ups, mind you...) ;O)
