Your replies always make me smile and I lo...Hi SJ! Your replies always make me smile and I look forward to hearing from you. :) <br />I love eggs rolls but rarely make them myself. What was the brand of the eggrolls that you bought? I'm always looking for good ones. Thanks!<br />I volunteer with a food distribution program that operates once a month. My family and I ran the program for years until my sons grew up and I could no longer lift heavy boxes per my doctor's orders. I turned it over to our local Grange and now my hubby and I just volunteer and help set up, pack up groceries for some of the shut-ins in our community and deliver the food to them. I would say we put in between 3-4 hours each month. I have been pleased that the Grange has been able to go up to the food bank in Spokane and get even more food for us to distribute. You have to have a large truck and pay for all your own fuel to do that and I did not have the resources to be able to do that on my own. All the volunteers also get the same things that other people using our food distribution program get and it really does help. I have been volunteering for 22 years now. I was raised to always give back and help out where you can and my husband and I taught all our kids that. It is a blessing to see them continuing to give back in their own communities and to charitable organizations in the USA and across the world also.<br /><br />Be blessed!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-45194872834533509672016-05-30T17:22:09.263-07:002016-05-30T17:22:09.263-07:00Hi Mrs. B!

We spent some time with my MIL and FIL today, ran some errands, took the dog for a long walk and cleaned out and refilled our hot tub so it is again ready to go...hopefully by later tonight. :) I hope you have had a good weekend as well. :) Be blessed!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-24859604671655354402016-05-30T13:43:47.511-07:002016-05-30T13:43:47.511-07:00I am just so happy to have found your blog!

Thanks.<br />Funny, too - I've been craving Chinese food. Tried some new-to-me frozen egg rolls from the grocery store. They were really good, better then what I've ever made and much cheaper then a restaurant.win win win.<br />So do you volunteer at a food bank? Before I got sick, I volunteered at our local food bank's warehouse. With 10 hours of time volunteered in the week, I was allowed to pack up a banana box worth of items. I could get a lot in one box. I haven't been able to do that for a while but thought it was a great resource.<br />Cheers, SJ in Vancouver BCSJ from Vancouver BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322313419749423155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-87827005751947541672016-05-29T20:01:45.801-07:002016-05-29T20:01:45.801-07:00What a frugal week, Debbie.

We have 2 within driving distance from us and I made 3 trips to get some nice ones. I noticed that each store had some of the same titles, but also a few different ones also. :) I hope they have some at your's. :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-33326912878107906222016-05-29T18:34:43.861-07:002016-05-29T18:34:43.861-07:00Hi Cheryl!
