Wednesday afternoon the container from Jacksonville, Illinois was unloaded. Yes, the one that left Jacksonville February 15. I am not sure what took so long, but anyway it is here now.
There is clothes and toys and blankets and hospital beds and tons of good stuff. Many boxes of things came to Casa. As always with a container, we had some pleasant surprises. There was boxes and boxes of garbage bags, something of which we use tons. Several reams of copy paper, another thing we use. There was one box marked games. Karen and I opened that one, thinking someone had cleaned out their closets and we were getting some games with pieces missing and such. Imagine our suprise and delight when we discovered brand new games. Cootie, Don't Spill the Beans, Ants In Your Pants and many more. We plan on bringing out a new game or two on Friday night games nights for a while. The kids will be excited when they see those, too. Karen got those put away before any one got home from school. We could only envision the scene if all the kids saw all those games at one time. There were black school shoes and nayv gym pants and things we always need with eighteen growing kids.
Many people in this country will benefit from this container. A great big thanks Jacksonville, especially to Maria Phillips.
