The Weather Out Side is Frightful

The other morning when the dog woke me up at 6:30 a.m. to go out side, I happened to glance at the thermostat on the window before going out onto the porch in my pajamas. 22 degrees. I turned into an instant pop-sickle.

After taking a swan dive back into bed it made me think about all the people who have lost their homes or who can't afford to heat the ones they have. I couldn't even handle being outside in the cold for 2 minutes while the dog peed, I can't imagine living every day with out warm clothes or heat in my home.

So here is a list of all the place in our area that are accepting winter coat donations. Please dig through your closets and give up all the jackets that you said you'd maybe wear again some day. You know you're never going to and there are men, women and children that really do need them. Giving up one coat does make a difference. Please do what you can.
