The sewing room is clean, all the needles are new in the machines, and the machines all oiled and the heat turned down.
Tomorrow we head for Tennessee. As I walked away I had a bit of an empty feeling but we are ready to get back home and on with our lives.
This, as I've said before, has been a good trip. Ted drove the Forklift a lot and it was good to know he didn't have to walk all over the depot all the time.
We fixed a lot of school bags people made wrong and also shortened many blankets for the birthing kits that were made wrong. We also saw 3 shipments of school bags head out of here for Sudan. Everyone comments on how they'd like to follow one of those bags and see the child that receives it. We have learned that some of these children use them to carry ALL of their worldly possessions. Makes you think twice, doesn't it? That you could put everything you own in a bag 15 X 18 inches?
We'll be back here in October to work again. So our hearts are full as we head to our last meal here and the Vesper Service this evening.
End of Sewing Room Blogs till October of 2011
