it's always so eye-opening to step out of your own little insulated world, and see what is going on...
i came away with a newfound respect for feeding america, which is a nationwide organization that takes surplus food from big corporations like general mills and walmart, finds trucking companies to partner with for delivery, and gets millions of pounds of food out to people who need it every year. (ps. no walmart bashing allowed over here, i continually see the good they do, and the do not believe that they are the downfall of american commerce).
they also have a nice logo, as kristie and i noticed :)
it's good to get away from the desk job every once in awhile, although manual labor is not exactly fun, it does feel kind of nice for a change. thanks to our saturday morning "job" - 1600 senior citizens in SD can look into their monthly box of food rations, and see how badly we screwed it up :))
ps. yes. kristie and i did indeed have a couple of lucy and ethel moments...!

I agree on many points:
(1) It's good for us to good to get out of our well-fed insulated worlds
(2) I walked away from Saturday morning with a better impression of Wal-Mart.
(3) a little manual labor is good for ad agency/ designer girl folk.
And...it was great to see you BG. Too much blog correspondence, not enough face correspondence.
i am proud of you! it feels good to do good. i am looking for some new little old ladies to MOW on over here...
it was good to see the "real" you kristi :)
i was telling carey what a good-looking young man you were raising !!
I'm glad that WalMart has a redeeming quality, but you can't make me like them.
The thought of little old people opening their screwed-up packages of food is making me laugh!
yes, it will go something like
"goshdangit my $%^&* evaporated milk is missing!"
:)
...and then they'll cuss out WalMart.
See?
