I gave my time and advice to a friend who needed it...

I gave the idiot dude who called me a dyke today the finger

I gave Costco some money today. Organic gave Chevron some too.

We have given one another a hard time all day, but that's not unusual.

I gave him dinner and dessert.

We gave each other a good workout this morning.

Teaching the kiddo the true gift,
as a family we gave christmas to
an elderly nursing home patient with
no family.
A mini tree decorated, gown and slippers
bag o goodies. Smiles are free and love is grand.
Priceless are the memories we made

I'm volunteering at the children's hospital ~ every day this week and next, as a lot of the college volunteers are out-of-town, so they asked me.

It's been so wonderful! I'll be there all day tomorrow and the children are so excited for all the visitors and presents!

I am teaching my nephew to give. He picked out a gift for the children's shelter today

I was so proud!! He is only 1 yr old but never too young to start giving

I gave to the Salvation Army bell ringer coming AND going into the grocery store twice today...and I am sure I will be meeting up with him again tomorrow. Good thing tomorrow is my last day for baking...Italian Cream Cake, Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Snickerdoodles....and I will be giving some of those away. Hmmm wonder if the Bell RInger guy would like some cookies

I gave my focus, attention and a lot of patience to my students to keep them together and on task the last day before vacation

I gave books away this last weekend...
While in Barnes and Noble I overheard a lady asking where she could find a certain book and she also wanted to know the cost. The book she was asking for was one I knew I was going to take to the Goodwill along with several other books. As she went to walk by me I called her over and told her that I would gladly give her the book she was looking for along with several others that I was sure her teen daughter would enjoy. Her eyes got all misty and it made me want to cry. She said *really, you would just give me the book?* of course I said. We exchanged numbers and the next day we took the box of books to her sons job and left them with a smile. In all they ended up with over 300.00 dollars in books because we were all in the right place at the right time... She called me later to thank me again and tell me that I had made her and her sons day... Not only did I recycle my books but I know they have gone to a good home...
