I just had to share this with you! I went to a Veteran's Day dinner at the Tribal Hall last night (Reggie was honoring the veteran's by singing with his native singing group after dinner)
Anyway, we went home about 8PM; we only live about 1/8 of a mile from the Reservation and the Tribal Hall, and we had been home for about 45 minutes when I got a phone call. One of the women helping in the kitchen was lamenting about SO MUCH LEFTOVER FOOD! They were so unhappy that it was all going to be thrown away when one of the women said..."OMG~ Claudia will take this food and take it to homeless people!" Thus, the phone call! I need not tell you that I raced back to the Tribal Hall and I know, without a doubt, I brought home 30(!!) grilled half chickens, 15 lbs of sliced steak, 35 ears of roasted corn, plus carrot cake and garlic bread! I cut up the half chickens, divided up the steak, husked the corn and halved them, and wrapped all of it in cling wrap~ tomorrow morning I am heading to the city parks! I would have done it today, but I had the dog trainer coming, and a thousand other things to do! But it is all wrapped and refrigerated and ready to make lots of homeless people happy and full!
Two good things happened~ 1) Someone knew and remembered that Claudia feeds the homeless! And 2) while I was picking up the food I met a caterer who asked for my name and phone number as she is at events all the time and never knows what to do with the left-over food!!!
Smiling, smiling, smiling.....
Hugs,
