Thanks Rasta Stan, Patty, Star, MiLady and Weathermon! Sorry I missed you at the Kitchen! Ms. Pearl filled me in and the ladies--and Monday--were happy to have you there. Thanks for the kindness! And Rasta Stan, thanks for taking one for the team. you guys are very Jamaican--5 in a taxi! I had 30 in the 15 passanger Hiace once. Vehicles are like jello, there's always room for more! You should see Pearl, Andrea and me in the cab of our little Helix when I carry them home. Talk about taking one for the team! The ladies are thrilled to get anything that can be used in a kitchen.

Gail, we will take the knives and towels. I think they have a blender. They could use a processor--would save lots of dicing and choping. i don't know about the uniforms. Thanks for the offer.

For you lie-a-beds, you can always volunteer at the Kitchen to serve lunch--11 to 1 is a good time. Hopefully you see only a few kids since they are supposed to be in school. Since we support about 40 of them we don't like to see them at lunchtime. Sorry about that!
