in new england!

wow! where has the time gone???? here it is already december 6th. It has been a bit of a challenge up here, as it is during the holidays and directors of organizations plates are too full to assist me and some have not returned my calls, I'm not giving up! I must say Providence RI has probably the MOST polite drivers i've seen in any state, took me a while to adjust lol! i was very sad on thanksgiving i contacted every church &organization i could find that was serving dinner. they all said they had been turning away volunteers for OVER A MONTH. i truly hope that was the same issue around the country. i felt bad not being able to help, but did get some photographs. found a very special food pantry. will do a follow up there at st. teresa's. there is another organization in providence i want to follow up with. i want to add a special thank you to florence who has been an awesome host! after RI i head for mass and then conn. After sooo many people here told me NOT to go any farther north - i finally listened - so, maine, vermont and new hampshire will be a different trip. hope you stay tuned!  AND A VERY IMPORTANT RESPONSE TO A COMMENT FROM CHARLES IN MISSISSIPPI -your comment is the reason and inspiration that keeps me going with this project and your very kind words mean the world to me -i think of and pray for you and your family often too -thank you!
