Good morning Kelsey

Morning to you its moving slower than a snail, I thought he was painting yesterday, but nope. Finished up the trim and sanding I think. His helper came in and was doing more tiles in the shower, but re hurt his back, ill go get pictures before he shows up

How frustrating. I hope they get some work done this week.

The town I lived in that did the postal food drives was good about supporting food banks in general.

The big insurance company I worked for did an annual month-long food drive every year. That was fun, different departments would have competitions and bake sales and such. I served on that committee for a few years and got to help make deliveries to people that needed assistance. It was a really rewarding thing to be involved in.

That is so cool!

The insurance do I worked for initially only supported United Way so I wouldn’t participate. Eventually they got their act together and allowed us to donate
to other charities with a partial match. My thing was the water hauls to animals in the desert that don’t have the water they need because of climate changes.

G’morning Sue. Tell that guy you’ll hurt his back if that tile isn’t done today

That's promising!

Yeah it is. I can walk around my neighborhood and hear roosters all over, my city doesn’t have an ordinance against them. Agriculture was still a big thing in our area when we moved here. Now the cornfields are disappearing and being replaced by housing nobody can afford for people who aren’t here.

My old company supported UW also. Once they let us designate the charities we wanted our donations to go to, I signed up to support it.

The water for the animals would definitely be a good one to help out in AZ!

What about HOA's? I suppose they would still be allowed to block backyard birds? Their rules seem to always trump local laws.

What’s up!?

I refused to support UW, and wouldn’t participate period until we had the option to support animals in some way.

I’m not sure I was wondering about those too!
