I was so tired after work yesterday. My legs and feet and back were all aching. I had been stocking the food pantry shelves, filling food orders, hauling cases of canned goods upstairs…. Yet I had plans to attend a free swing-dance event at the university. My best friend convinced me to go even though I [...]

Locks of Love donations, 2006 and 2008
