Blessing Bags

For years I've wondered what I could hand out to those homeless people who seem to always be "hanging out" around our local Wal Mart.  I have given a few dollars & made them promise not to use it on drugs & alcohol (which they ardently do promise).  I've thought of carrying around Wal Mart gift cards, but they would be able to buy cigarettes or beer.  But, the other day I was browsing on Pinterest and found this terrific idea!!!

Blessing Bag

  Blessing Bags, filled with items such as applesauce, granola bars, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, bandages.  What a fantastic idea!!!  I can't wait to make up some to start carrying in my car to hand out.  What a blessing it will be!!!!

Colorado Sunset

It has been unseasonably warm here in Colorado which makes for some beautiful sunsets...  This is the view from McDonald's where my husband & I took part in today's special deal - buy one Big Mac & get the second for 1 cent.

Cowboy Boots - Check

Today I bought a pair of cowboy boots and checked off the first item on my yet to be written "60 after 60" list (an early start, because I still have 11 months until the big 6-0).  Kind of a splurge for a city girl, but I've always been a country girl at heart and always have longed to live in the country and have a horse of my own...  

Now I need to wear them...and when I remember the price tag, I'm sure I will...
