Today we gave back to the homeless in our community.  Abbs was my ringleader on this one.  He did the shopping with me and picked out all the treats and even insisted on full size candy bars…..the only hard part for him was giving them away.  Something about a full size candy bar that makes a kid weak in the knees, am I right?  Well, maybe even me too.

We made salami sandwiches and loaded the bags with pretzels, applesauce, crackers, juice boxes, candy bars, animal crackers, string cheese and a pack of tissues along with a note of encouragement.  We took them to our park bench by the train station where we frequently see homeless people huddling in the bus shelter to keep warm.  My pals and I had a long talk about how lucky they were to have food in the fridge and a place to sleep at night.  This one really hit home with all of us.
