The only available food is a box of Rice-a-roni. The lady has no money. My sister has very little money, but I suggested she go buy a small can of chicken to add to the Rice-a-roni, which she thought was a great idea. So, if all goes as planned, this gal should have something decent to eat this evening.KayMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972922396306756344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-50965886021412166952016-03-29T19:37:51.238-04:002016-03-29T19:37:51.238-04:00I was given a second chance reconnecting with a fa...I was given a second chance reconnecting with a family member who we were told was terminal over a year agoJan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706522878268677412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-53185750538166716992016-03-29T19:33:20.403-04:002016-03-29T19:33:20.403-04:00I know I will bring joy to my husband when he sees...I know I will bring joy to my husband when he sees the Earthquake cake I baked today.Jan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706522878268677412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-73269899186097120402016-03-29T19:27:50.409-04:002016-03-29T19:27:50.409-04:00I work at an elementary school as a special ed par...I work at an elementary school as a special ed para.
