THAT WAS FUN!

We all had a GREAT time delivering the treat bags to the homes on Sunday!

We all met in the WalMart parking lot and left about 1:30. We arrived at the first house and were disappointed to find that no one was home. We left the bags for the residents and the staff and headed out to the next house. Luckily, everyone else was home that day.

A couple of highlights for me. One man fell in love with my blue wig and I got a special kiss on the cheeck from him. LOL

A woman was very excited and kept asking, "FOR ME???"

About half way through we all stopped at a gas station to get some drinks and the people inside just loved our costumes!

After delivering everything we finished off the afternoon with Applebees. We all had a great dinner and a great waitress.

It was a lot of fun, and yesterday I heard from the volunteer coordinator that one of the residents is still carrying the bag and showing everyone the special treat she got.

Although we were exhausted when we were done, we also felt good and proud of ourselves for making someone's day. It was only 4 hours out of our lives but it made a lot of people smile.
