Yesterday was one of those days, that when I got home, I went to bed.
It started out with going grocery shopping and stopping to visit with Phill. It was good to give him a hug. We will trade gifts next week.
Then we sat and watched TV and played games. I had to leave by 3 pm. I was picking Debbie up.
I actually left a little bit earlier so we could check out the Brewery on helping us with donations. They were closed. We then went to Dutch Brothers and got our drinks. A couple of them are getting to know me and when I forget my "almond milk" they remind me. Then it was off to the Tree Lighting at Borst Park. The gal in charge of the Police Officer's Fund was there. We got everything going. She warned us of some venters that don't have a license selling around the tree lighting. About an hour before closing, they showed up and the police had to go after them. At least that was for her to do. We had eight of us. Four of us were from the group. Smiley was keeping track of buses, but we didn't get but two buses going through. Last year we had about five.
The guys were to the left and Judy was on the right. She was counting the cars that went through. We had 494 cars go through. We had so many donations this year it wasn't funny. They gave me money and said, "don't worry about it." We had some that put the money out the window and moved on. It was fun! We gave candy canes to the kids. QOV flyers were given out. So, we had a good productive time. We even had a guy that was nude and didn't have any money, but I let him through as well. It was worth it. We had cars going through in a good rhythm that we didn't have any that were past the time. By 10 to 9 pm there were no more cars. We cleaned up and left.
Like I said, by the time I was home, I as beat. Stood the whole time, even though I brought chairs. And NO, it wasn't Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
