Serving a tMatthew 25 Ministries and fun at the Greek Festival

The photos are all jumbled today.  We had a busy day, volunteering at Matthew 25 ministries (www.m25m.org) and heading out to the Greek Festival with J and N.
 
Bug and N riding the flying cars- don't they look like they are driving thru the hood?

The giant slide- the best ride at the festival.

Happy boys

Happy mommas

having some sweets at the festival- little pastry balls, deep fried, glazed with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon.

I won!!!

Going back to Thursday, this was the set up in my office, my work computer and the home computer.  The home computer had Univision on so I could watch and listen to the game while I worked on slides for a training class I am giving in July/August.  No need to worry, my boss approved of the set up.

Me, ready for the game on Thursday. 
Same plan will be in place for Tuesday's game against Belgium.

This morning, we got up and headed out to Matthew 25 Ministries with some of the families from the Kids church.

The warehouse, we would be sorting thru clothes and taking packaging off of toiletries so they could be put into packages for disaster areas

testing out one of the sleeping mats made from plastic grocery bags.  Each mat takes about 500-600 bags to make, but they last a long time.  The mats are provided to families to keep them from sleeping on the dirt.

putting the mats in the donation box

listening to instructions

my sorting partner- we sorted thru kids and adult clothes.  There were lots of clothes to go thru.

sorting, it is a lot like folder laundry

Bug worked on taking packaging off personal goods like chap stick, deodorant, facial creams.


we took a tour half way thru our work shift, showing how M25M helps in areas devastated by natural disasters, like Haiti, or tornadoes here in the US.


where we are is the blue light, the red lights are the places in the US that have been helped by M25M. they had lights all over the world too.

back to taking packaging off chap stick.

I took Bug to lunch at Chipotle.  YUMMMMM

And then this afternoon, we headed out to the Greek Festival.

Love and hugs,
