. Every Saturday night we go to town to feed the homeless. We take a table and make a healthy, balanced meal. We are not a church or an organisation, we just take what food we have and feed the hungry and homeless. We ask how everyone is and chat. Some come slowly and don’t…
. My husband and I were walking into the grocery store one day. It was cold, snowy and the parking lot was so slushy you couldn’t push a cart from the store to your car. We were about to enter the store and my husband started walking away from me. I turned to see where…
