PURSES WITH A PURPOSE UPDATE

I will cease collecting purses as of tomorrow, Friday September 13 as I have run out of funds to purchase the items to fill the purses. Thank you to everyone who has donated a purse, funds to buy the items, and given me items to fill the purses.

This has been an amazing project, and I have been touched by the generosity of friends and strangers. I still have several purses to fill and hope that more financial support will allow me to fill them.

A quick stop at the Eagleville Firehouse 107 to deliver cookies on this day of remembrance 9/11. Members of this firehouse were among those who put out the fire that destroyed my house more than 10 years ago.

Every day and especially today, thank a fire fighter.
