Nearing 4000!!!

Wow, have I ever been busy. I can't believe how long it has been since I posted and so much has happened. In October I was assigned Jury Duty. I was afraid I would really get behind in my sewing, but as it turned out, I had to check in twice but never had to actually report for duty. To cover myself, I went to both Wal-Mart's, Kohl's, and Target and bought all their $1-$2 pairs of shorts. I purchased nearly 650 pairs. As it was, I didn't miss any days sewing. However, I did take a week off and went to Pennsylvania to visit my son and daughter-in-law. We had a great visit. My mother-in-law visited and helped me one day. She surged some of the shorts, but since she had not surged ever before she was not real comfortable doing so, so she quit and ironed for me. Of course, I iron all the shorts after I make them and I had gotten behind on ironing, so, she got me all caught up. Thank you, Murlene, for your help. Today, Brandon Stevens and Sandi Pierce came by and cut shorts. Brandon was here about two hours and Sandi about 4 and they cut about 90 pairs of shorts. Thank you so much Brandon and Sandi for all your help today. I also enjoyed visiting with them while I sewed. It was a really nice day. To date I have completed 3889 pairs of shorts. I have sent 3000 pairs to Haiti and am holding 889 pairs and the 650ish that I purchased. So, I have shorts everywhere!!!! Even taking some time off for Thanksgiving, I will easily reach 4000 by the end of November. That will leave about 7 weeks to complete the remaining 1000 pairs, which would be easy under normal circumstances, however during that 7 weeks we have Christmas and New years. I am still striving for completion by January 18th and we will see!!!! Central Baptist Church is headed to Haiti again in December and January, they may take some shorts in Dec., if they have room, the Dec. trip is a medical trip, so they will take the shorts only if they have room. However, they will be taking a trip in late January and will be able to take shorts for sure then. Currently the January trip is set for the 28th and I should be totally finished by then. Isn't it awesome how God works things out. Also, Dr. McAlexander will be going to Haiti in the near future and he said he would take shorts with him as well. I am so grateful to have all the help getting the shorts to Haiti. Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
