Hot Chocolate and Jello

Our neighbor Mary's daughter is a school teacher. I believe she used the hot cocoa and jello for a science experiment. These are left overs. Mary also gave use some oranges and cream cheese too.

Scooter

A couple of my children sell sodas in front of our house for spending money. Today a fellow drove by and gave my daughter this scooter. The man works in the business of cleaning out houses that have been foreclosed. There's a lot of that going on these days. A vacated house had this nice scooter left it it. He didn't have use for the scooter and seeing a cute little girl selling sodas, he stopped and knocked on our door and asked if he could give it to her.

10 notebooks

While on my walk this morning I spotted Ivor Bryant. He's a local crossing guard. I was planning to avoid him because our strong differances on the presidential election. My side took a whipping and I didn't want to talk about it. Still, my heart was stirred to talk to him. So I reluctantly walked in his direction. After a bit of "how you dos" and a brief chat our topic drifted to my having 7 kids and one on the way. I guess he didn't know this. After further learning that we also home school he offered these note books. I believe they were donated to send to Jamaca but the weight to ship them wasn't worth their value so they sat in his trunk waiting for a reciepant.

Hand Squeezed OJ

Shotzie just got back from his mom's house. She has a friend with an orange grove. The grove owner shared oranges with Shotie's mom. Shotie's mom shared oranges with Shotzie. Shotzie made some orange juice and shared it with us.

This container was nearly full when we receive it. I took the picture two days after receiving it.

Roast Beef, Garlic Potatoes, Pecan Green Beans and Salad

Rich Popovic stopped by again with left overs from the Saint Vincent Men's Dinner.

He came over just after we finished having roast beef and morels mushrooms (plus other yummies) my mom made for our family. She came down from Cocoa Beach to make a dinner for us as a late celebration of my birthday. Between the leftovers of my mom's meal and the food Rich brought over I had to play a bit of Tetris in the refrigerator to make sure everything fit.

Nothing went to waste. Buy the time I posted this, everything was ate up. Seven kids eat a lot.

God Given Christmas Cookies

My wife Catherine was just wondering if the ingredients she'll have to purchase for home schoolers Christmas partly will fit into her shopping budget. A few minutes later our neighbor JoAnn O'Rourke brought over this bag of baking ingredients as a Christmas gift from her and her family.

Italian food from God

We sent Freeman around the block to get Andy's mail. We're picking it up for him while he's away. Mary intercepted Freeman on his way home and gave him these gifts.
Ragu sauce, pasta and onions ... I love italian food.
