    Have to send a rave out for my brother. He took part of his inheritance and is using it to pay for our stepsister's college fees. She might not have been able to go and this is something Dad would approve of.

    He even called me to let me know and make sure I would ensure she had the funds if anything happened to him.

    None of the kids in our family have kids and we are all retired. I think we have all found that we are blessed and need to give back. I used part of my inheritance to buy a digital Xray machine for our local spay/neuter clinic and had my Dad's name put on it.

    Oh, wow, what an awesome memorial for your Dad, and a great thing for all those pups and kitties!

    I found an eye doctor in New Hampshire who will not require me to wear a mask. So next month I will take a day off work (haven't used any of my sick days), drive up, and see some fall foliage too. It's northern New Hampshire there should be color already when I go.

    Still have not found a dentist or primary care physician, but maybe that practice will know of someone.

    thanks everyone. Never do it to get our name mentioned just enjoy the nice feelings we get while spreading some good deeds.

    The simplest thing I did recently was make long rice bags with flannel covers for the surgery unit at the spay/neuter clinic. The flannel covers are made so the outer layer can be washed. I made some a couple of years ago and they called requesting more saying how they were very useful. Got to the sewing machine and made up 20. Got the nicest card signed by all the surgery staff. Made my day. One year I collected leftover fleece from a variety of sources and made cage blankets to the size they needed. Simple and useful with little cost and a good reuse of leftover pieces of fleece.
