So here are a few pictures:
Looking at the quilts |
All the quilts on one of the sofas |
Merry Christmas! |
We sat in the floor and smiled for the photographer |
And we did the drawing for the prizes. The winners have been notified. Thanks to all of the people who supported this effort.
The audio is low in this video, but I hope you can hear what Ms. Jackie says.
Don't you love the joy Ms. Jackie shows in receiving these for the shelter? As you might have noticed, her smile is contagious. I watched this and realized that I grinned the entire time.
While you didn't see the residents, let me tell you. They were thrilled too. Each one that was there got to pick the quilt for their room. I loved it when one of them wrapped the quilt around herself. One read the label and was amazed that the quilt came "all the way from Virginia."
As Charlie said in that old television show "Thanks Angels!"

Barb said it all. Great way to celebrate Christmas.
The video said "private" so I couldn't view it.
Gene, you are a true "ANGEL"... It's fixed and I'm hearing loud and clear.
Oh, Gene.......you should have warned me I'd need tissues to read this post and watch the video. I am so proud to call you my friend! I'm sure you made a difference in the lives of those young people.
