The Importance of Giving

So since last year I've really gotten into adopting a family and I love it. I love to give back, since I am blessed, I want to pass the blessings on. So my group Making Moves adopted a single mother and her daughter Isabella. Some of the items on their list are clothes, shoes, diapers (size 4), socks, toys, children's books. bathroom towels, toiletries, dinnerware, and cleaning products. We also would like to donate a gift card to Kroger so Lededra and her daughter can enjoy a Holiday dinner. I was really glad because some people signed up right away, but a little sad that only 3 people helped. I guess I just thought everyone would jump on board to help this family. Either way, we got a lot and this family was blessed. Big thanks to Geannene, Regina, and Kyla, you ladies are wonderful wonderful people and I couldn't be more honored to know you three. 

Thanks Regina for these items. Kyla thank you for the gift card!

We got so much stuff and good stuff too. We had 3 big bags full, I really hope the family enjoys these items.

Clothes for baby and mom!!

Dress for Isabella, it is Beautiful, so proud of myself.

These next items will make you cry, no lie, they are beautiful! Handmade stockings by Geannene. I am so proud to call this woman Mom!

Weekend in Savannah

So, early November "Making Moves" went to Savannah. If your not familiar with "Making Moves" its a social group on meetup.com. We also do some light traveling. If you would to join the web address is www.meetup.com/making-moves.
We decided to do a River boat cruise and I was so excited. I love Savannah, its like I don't even know what the appeal is but I love that city. Anyway we arrived Saturday afternoon and it was hot! But we had to rush because the Riverboat dinner started at 7, but we wanted to board the boat early. Here are some pics.

Looks real pretty in the night!

Now the boat was fun, people were dancing and partying and drinking. It was a good time. Let's talk about the food though. I thought the food was going to be better. I was expecting a lot of seafood and my expectations just weren't met. The food was good, but not great. There was prime rib, chicken, veggie pasta, squash casserole (yummy), new potatoes, and lots of other stuff. And UGH! This terrible cheesecake, it was warm and UGH! I had a Pink Long Island to drink and it was SLAMMIN. 

These candy apples were so good. Reeses' and Apple Pie!

Making fresh pralines.

Overall, it was a nice relaxing getaway. I loved being in Savannah, food was good. With a good friend! Until next time.

P.S. On the way home we had Cheddar's. You know how we do!

Better than the others!
