TGIF

Even when one loves what one is doing, Fridays are soooooooo welcome. My Friend's House is open Tuesday through Friday, and when Friday is over, it is nice to be off and gone for a day or two. If someone has an emergency, we will do what we can, but for the most part we do other things on the weekends. Except that Saturday is the prime day for garage sales--not that we go, but when people have them and get worn out by early Saturday afternoon, they call us. So sometimes we go and pick up what is left, and sometimes they bring it and leave it on the front porch or under the carport.

This week had had three days that we picked up large items and others brought items, every day. The building for the store was in the last stages of being blocked last Monday, with the house movers trying to hurry knowing that the pickup and trailer were about to arrive with massive amounts of things donated by ETBU to put in the building. They made it, and the building is about full already. Most of that was furniture to go in the shelter and will be moved fairly quickly. That is the store building behind the cargo van and truck. In the foreground is the ever-faithful PeeWee. She has taken up residence in front of the store.


Thanks go to Central Baptist Church, Marshall, for a generous donation from their Missions Committee. We really appreciate the support of the churches here in town. Besides the money, which is essential, their support says that they are interested and approving of the mission and purpose of My Friend's House.

Tomorrow we will get a little more done on the shelter. One step at a time, one day at a time.
