geckos geckos geckos

I have spent the day looking up all the outstanding orders and e mailing off to let everyone know that the ornaments and geckos are in. This shipment consisted mostly of geckos. Red, yellow, blue, green and multicolored geckos cover my desk. I am brown bagging them to take to Tiggywinkles on Tuesday am ready for pick up. Some folk are going to be disapointed as I don't have as many angles as wanted. I will order more! The order will be here in a couple of months. Let me know if you want any and any particular color.

I am amazed at the e mails still coming in. Everytime I see an order I think of the women and children that will be receiving the benefits. How easy it is to give joy to people who have so little. As easy as giving up two cups of coffee.

I was saddened this week. Margaret, a lady from Zimbabwe who we supported from time to time with food and clothing and with $200 for a cateract operation last year passed away. However, knowing that she was cared about, even if that person was on the other side of the world would have been comforting and she expressed how delighted she was to be able to see all the beautiful colors around her. It was important to her, if only for a year.

Off to bag more geckos............ Till next time Sue

ps. if you want to know what is happening in Zimbabwe this week look under Cathy's web site on this web site.
