Wednesday, July 19, 2023 Cloudy Rainy Breezy Humid 73 Degrees 2:45 p.m.

We are having summer weather without the heat. I can’t believe it is as cool as it is because yesterday wasn’t this cool, for sure! I am certainly not complaining. I know that the heat will be back very soon. I understand we will have thunderstorms and rain on and off the rest of the week.

Saturday Tina and I went to the Moose Lodge Christmas Craft Sale. They were raising money for toys for underprivileged children for Christmas. We were told that last year they raised enough to give 100 children each a gift, and they hoped to do much better this year. They went on to say that the ladies of the Moose lodge were always working at raising money for the different project they have. One is a children’s home in Illinois where they have several homes for orphaned children. Each home has a set of parents and 4 to 6 children. They take children from new born to 18 years, and completely care for them, providing a home, medical, education, everything that they need. Once they turn 18 they move to a dorm and have their choice of a collage or university, or trade school. They can live in the dorm until they graduate. They take children from all over the United States. They also have a Retirement Home for life time members in Florida where they can live until they die with all expenses paid. That is housing, food, clothing, medical and at the end of life burial. The Moose are everywhere in the United States as well as 7 or more countries around the world. We were told that it costs $80.00 to join and $50.00 a year there after. These two ladies were quite the sales people and seem to be looking for members. They said tha tthey are very active and always on the go doing things and going places. they have different activities each day or night a the lodge and go on trips etc. Cruses are a big thing with them. They gave us applications to join and said they would be glad to hold a check until the first of the month if we needed them to. We said that we would think about it.

Quote of the day: ” Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn’t permanent”.

Have a great rest of your Wednesday. Make it a cheerful, exciting, entertaining and fun day.

Blessings
