I’m taking the easy way out for a couple of days – just grabbing a few pieces of clothing each day to add to the pile going to the Ginormous Clothing Drive at our church. I record some of them here more for my benefit and interest than yours!\u00a0 Somehow, it seems easier to part with them when I have at least a photograph to remember… (I know it’s goofy!)<\/p>\n\n\n

I think I got this shirt on our honeymoon (nearly 11 years ago now!)\nin the Smoky Mountains.\u00a0 I always loved this motto.\u00a0 In fact,\nmaybe I will modify this and design a T-Shirt for our upcoming \nventure to Haiti!\u00a0 Incidentally,\u00a0 a few years after I bought this shirt, Dats\nrolled off his Grandma's couch and broke his arm…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
