Okay so in my house, there is a whole tub in my living room of blankets. Well, it's not a tub, I guess. It's a container. It looks like books, and then you open it and there are blankets inside. Some were gifts, some were things made for me, some were bought. So many, you guys. And there's an actual plastic tub in my bedroom that has even MORE blankets in it. You know those vacuum seal bag things? Yeeeep.

So while I do like to be warm, clearly I cannot use all of these blankets at any one time. And now that it's just me and NJ around the house, do I really need all those blankets?  Probably not. I mean, he's very cuddly and quite warm.  And there are kitties who would like to sit on me and warm me up, as well.

I mean, I won't give away sentimental gift blankets.  Stuff that means something, I'll keep those, for sure.  Like the one my Dad gave me of all The Beatles albums, or the one my friend Heather hand quilted for me.  You gotta keep the ones that are important, obviously.  But what to do with the rest? Here's an idea!  The Salvation Army will take them for ya, as long as they're gently used (so you  might not bring the one with the huge coffee stain on it).

Stop by CVS parking lot on Wednesday 2/5/25, between 10:00A-2:00P, you don’t even have to get out of your car we will come to you! The cold weather isn’t going anywhere any time soon and we need your help to keep our neighbors safe and warm this winter

They'll be out at CVS and that's easy to find, and telling you now gives you some time to get them all together.. This also might be a good time for you and the kids to look through some old hats, scarves, gloves, etc, that don't fit them  anymore. Or, you know, ones your teenager won't be caught dead in anymore.  I'm sure they loved that Spongebob scarf when they were eight, but now?  Maybe it should go to a deserving kid that needs a little warmth.  And if you don't have any you want to part with, maybe just pick up a couple little things at your next Wal Mart run.

So go through the closets, the storage, the tubs in your living room, and donate what you can!  It'll give you a warm, fuzzy feeling to know you're helping someone in town that needs it.

Fuzzily yours,
Behka
