Hodge-Podge


Hodge-podge is a word used to describe a confused or disorderly mass or collection of things; a "mess" or a "jumble".


StoneBridge Food Pantry Volunteers


The Volunteer always run out to help un-load the car!
They can sense when  the Coupon Angels are on their way to the Pantry!

Groceries ready for the taken!
Last week we donated 154lbs of groceries to StoneBridge!

S.0.S.  getting ready for the Big Easter Event!


They were expecting at least 400 kids!

An Easter Lunch was prepared and served for families.
Then the kids got go pick out an Easter Basket to take home!


The ladies at S.O.S made sure each basket was full of goodies
so every child would feel special!




My son Taylor helped deliver the 40 Coupon Angel baskets...and helped to organize the room of wonderful baskets....
Thanks Easter Bunny!



Pasta...19 cents a bag at Krogers!!!


Spaghetti...Yum!

a few extra goodies!

Montgomery Community Building where S.O.S and other social service departments are housed
Downtown Magnolia, Friendship Street
Saw this van ...thought it was cool!
remember the meaning of Hodge-Podge!

 Mystery.????...???
Someone left a bag of groceries at my door the other day...but no note, no call, no clue...

Aaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A Clue!
My Guess is......


Donna H?!?
Did you ride over on your Harley and I missed it!



One more H.P.....my youngest son is graduating from
Magnolia High School this month!
If you see Will...give him a pat on the back and Traveler a pat too!


O.K. enough of Hodge-Podge!
This makes me want to get organized!
but I will get over it!

See ya on Monday Morning at 9:00 @ Starbucks 1488!

to be Christ-centered,

Waiting for a rainy day....

I give up!!  I have been waiting for a rainy day to sit-down and blog about The Coupon Angels!When the clouds are grey and a good rain is on the way...for some reason the rain passes by Magnolia! So my blogging has suffered along with the long horns on the near ranch and our yards and gardens.
 Alas, I must sit and tell the tales of The Coupon Angels with a bright Mother's Day Sunny Sunday sky!

  EASTER Baskets for S.O.S!!














Without Easter,

there would be no hope of heaven.

Without the hope of heaven,

there would be no repentance,

no personal transformation,

no attempt to follow biblical principles.

Without Easter,

the world would be in chaos

and darkness.

Jesus’ death and resurrection

means we can be reborn,

to live better, to do better,

to shine light into the shadows.

Hallelujah!

Happy, Happy Easter.

(Thanks Kathy K for finding this poem!)

What a joy to take our 40 baskets to S.O.S to join with the other 360 baskets!
Thanks to each person who helped make a child's Easter a special occasion!
